Originating from various environmental niches, large numbers of bacterial plasmids have
been found carrying heavy metal and antibiotic resistance genes, degradation pathways …

We recently proposed a model for targeted, conservative cointegrate formation between
DNA molecules each containing a copy of IS26, that involves Tnp26‐catalyzed strand …

The bacterial transposon Tn7 is distinguished among mobile genetic elements by its
targeting abilities. Recently, we reported that Tn7 is able to selectively insert adjacent to …

IS91 displays a number of characteristics unique among insertion sequence (IS) elements,
suggesting that it transposes by a novel mechanism called rolling‐circle (RC) transposition …

Efficient transmission of circular plasmids in Streptomyces spp. proceeds by an
uncharacterized mechanism that requires a cis-acting locus of transfer (clt) and often only a …

In the present study, we demonstrate that the terminal inverted repeats of the Escherichia
coli insertion sequence IS30 are functional target sites for the transposition of the (IS30) 2 …

Transposon Tn7 inserts itself into the attTn7 target DNA sequence at the 3 'end of the
Escherichia coli glmS gene with high specificity and efficiency. This site in the E. coli …

A transposition system constructed to detect the transposition of Tn5 to a site upstream of the
lacZ gene has revealed that transposition of IS50L can activate downstream genes …

A new insertion sequence (IS) designated IS 1474 was isolated from Pseudomonas
alcaligenes NCIB 9867 (P25X). IS 1474 is a 2632 bp element which showed a characteristic …

IS402, a transposable gene-activating element isolated on the basis of its ability to increase
expression of the Tn1 bla gene in Pseudomonas cepacia, was cloned from pTGL52 into the …
