Fis plays a role in Tn5 and IS50 transposition.
The Fis (factor for inversion stimulation) protein of Escherichia coli was found to influence the frequency of transposon Tn5 and insertion sequence IS50 transposition. Fis stimulated both Tn5 and IS50 transposition events and also inhibited IS50 transposition in Dam-bacteria. This influence was not due to regulation by Fis of the expression of the Tn5 transposition proteins. We localized, by D...
متن کاملComparative sequence analysis of IS50/Tn5 transposase.
Comparative sequence analysis of IS50 transposase-related protein sequences in conjunction with known structural, biochemical, and genetic data was used to determine domains and residues that play key roles in IS50 transposase function. BLAST and ClustalW analyses have been used to find and analyze six complete protein sequences that are related to the IS50 transposase. The protein sequence ide...
متن کاملOrientation of IS50 transposase gene and IS50 transposition.
Reversal of transposase gene orientation with respect to the nonidentical ends of IS50 strongly decreased IS50 transposition in both Dam- and Dam+ hosts. In either orientation, IS50 transposase expression was unaffected. These effects were independent of the surrounding DNA context. This shows that the efficiency of IS50 transposition is dependent on transposase gene orientation. The transposit...
متن کاملRole of the IS50 R proteins in the promotion and control of Tn5 transposition.
IS50R, the inverted repeat sequence of Tn5 which is responsible for supplying functions that promote and control Tn5 transposition, encodes two polypeptides that differ at their N terminus. Frameshift, in-frame deletion, nonsense, and missense mutations within the N terminus of protein 1 (which is not present in protein 2) were isolated and characterized. The properties of these mutations demon...
متن کاملInduction of the SOS response in Escherichia coli inhibits Tn5 and IS50 transposition.
In response to DNA damage or the inhibition of normal DNA replication in Escherichia coli, a set of some 20 unlinked operons is induced through the RecA-mediated cleavage of the LexA repressor. We examined the effect of this SOS response on the transposition of Tn5 and determined that the frequency of transposition is reduced 5- to 10-fold in cells that constitutively express SOS functions, e.g...
