Efficient transposition of IS911 circles in vitro.
An in vitro system has been developed which supports efficient integration of transposon circles derived from the bacterial insertion sequence IS911. Using relatively pure preparations of IS911-encoded proteins it has been demonstrated that integration into a suitable target required both the transposase, OrfAB, a fusion protein produced by translational frameshifting between two consecutive op...
متن کاملAssembly of a strong promoter following IS911 circularization and the role of circles in transposition.
When supplied with high levels of the IS911-encoded transposase, IS911-based transposons can excise as circles in which the right and left terminal inverted repeats are abutted. Formation of the circle junction is shown here to create a promoter, p(junc), which is significantly stronger than the indigenous promoter, pIRL, and is also capable of driving expression of the IS911 transposition prot...
متن کاملHost processing of branched DNA intermediates is involved in targeted transposition of IS911.
A simplified system using bacterial insertion sequence IS911 has been developed to investigate targeted insertion next to DNA sequences resembling IS ends. We show here that these IR-targeted events occur by an unusual mechanism. In the circular IS911 transposition intermediate the two IRs are abutted to form an IR/IR junction. IR-targeted insertion involves transfer of a single end of the junc...
متن کاملRequirement of IS911 replication before integration defines a new bacterial transposition pathway.
Movement of transposable elements is often accompanied by replication to ensure their proliferation. Replication is associated with both major classes of transposition mechanisms: cut-and-paste and cointegrate formation (paste-and-copy). Cut-and-paste transposition is often activated by replication of the transposon, while in cointegrate formation replication completes integration. We describe ...
متن کاملIS911 partial transposition products and their processing by the Escherichia coli RecG helicase.
Insertion of bacterial insertion sequence IS911 can often be directed to sequences resembling its ends. We have investigated this type of transposition and shown that it can occur via cleavage of a single end and its targeted transfer next to another end. The single end transfer (SET) events generate branched DNA molecules that contain a nicked Holliday junction and can be considered as partial...
