Abstract excerpt
It is shown here that the bacterial insertion sequence IS911 exhibits a temperature-sensitive transposition phenotype. Previous results have demonstrated that elevated levels of the IS911 transposase OrfAB generate significant quantities of a figure-eight form, created by cleavage and circularization of one of the transposon strands, and of an excised circular form, in which both transposon strands have been...
