Characterization of the left 4 kb of conjugative transposon Tn916: determinants involved in excision.
Plasmid - 1 Nov 1993
Su Y A, Clewell D B
Abstract excerpt
The rate-limiting step in movement of the conjugative transposon Tn916, originally identified in Enterococcus faecalis, is believed to be an excision event that generates a non-replicative circular intermediate. When present on a plasmid vector in Escherichia coli, Tn916 generally excises at a hi...
