Tn 4652 is a derivative of the toluene degradation transposon Tn 4651 that belongs to the
Tn 3 family of transposons (M. Tsuda and T. Iino, Mol. Gen. Genet. 210: 270–276, 1987). We …

The toluene degradative transposon Tn4651 is included within another transposon, Tn4653,
and both of these elements are members of the Tn3 family. The tnpA gene product of each …

It has been reported that the toluene-degrading (xyl) genes from Pseudomonas putida
plasmid pWW53 are able to translocate to broad-host-range drug resistance plasmid RP4 …

The 56-kb class II toluene catabolic transposon Tn 4651 from Pseudomonas putida plasmid
pWW0 is unique in that (i) its efficient resolution requires, in addition to the 0.2-kb resolution …

We have previously shown that both ends of the Tn 3 family transposon Tn 4652 contain
integration host factor (IHF) binding sites and that IHF positively regulates expression of the …

Transposition is a DNA reorganization reaction potentially deleterious for the host. The
frequency of transposition is limited by the amount of transposase. Therefore, strict …

We analyzed the target preferences of a Tn 3 family transposon Tn 4652. Alignment of 93
different insertion sites revealed a consensus sequence which resembles that of Tn 3 …

Tn5 is a composite transposon consisting of two IS50 sequences in inverted orientation with
respect to a unique, central region encoding several antibiotic resistances. The IS50R …

Transposition activity in bacteria is generally maintained at a low level. The activity of mobile
DNA elements can be controlled by bacterially encoded global regulators. Regulation of …

A study was made of the transposition of the mercury resistance transposon Tn5041 which,
together with the closely related toluene degradation transposon Tn4651, forms a separate …
