Transposition of Tn7 occurs at a single site on the Caulobacter crescentus chromosome.
نویسنده
چکیده
Insertion of Tn7 in nine independently derived isolates occurred in a single small region of the Caulobacter crescentus chromosome, suggesting that Tn7 insertion occurs at or near a single site. The order of markers in this region of the Caulobacter chromosome was shown to be flaA-argG-Tn7.

Tn7 transposition creates a hotspot for homologous recombination at the transposon donor site.
Homologous recombination at the bacterial transposon Tn7 donor site is stimulated 10-fold when Tn7 is activated to transpose at high frequency in RecD- Escherichia coli, where recombination is focused near the ends of double-chain breaks. This is observed as an increase in recombination between two lacZ heteroalleles when one copy of lacZ carries within it a Tn7 that is transposing at high freq...
متن کاملGain-of-function mutations in TnsC, an ATP-dependent transposition protein that activates the bacterial transposon Tn7.
The bacterial transposon Tn7 encodes five genes whose protein products are used in different combinations to direct transposition to different types of target sites. TnsABC + D directs transposition to a specific site in the Escherichia coli chromosome called attTn7, whereas TnsABC + E directs transposition to non-attTn7 sites. These transposition reactions can also recognize and avoid "immune"...
متن کاملSite-specific Tn7 transposition into the human genome
The bacterial transposon, Tn7, inserts into a single site in the Escherichia coli chromosome termed attTn7 via the sequence-specific DNA binding of the target selector protein, TnsD. The target DNA sequence required for Tn7 transposition is located within the C-terminus of the glucosamine synthetase (glmS) gene, which is an essential, highly conserved gene found ubiquitously from bacteria to hu...
متن کاملDNA damage differentially activates regional chromosomal loci for Tn7 transposition in Escherichia coli.
The bacterial transposon Tn7 recognizes replicating DNA as a target with a preference for the region where DNA replication terminates in the Escherichia coli chromosome. It was previously shown that DNA double-strand breaks in the chromosome stimulate Tn7 transposition where transposition events occur broadly around the point of the DNA break. We show that individual DNA breaks actually activat...
متن کاملMulticopy integration of mini-Tn7 transposons into selected chromosomal sites of a Salmonella vaccine strain
Chromosomal integration of expression modules for transgenes is an important aspect for the development of novel Salmonella vectors. Mini-Tn7 transposons have been used for the insertion of one such module into the chromosomal site attTn7, present only once in most Gram-negative bacteria. However, integration of multiple mini-Tn7 copies might be suitable for expression of appropriate amounts of...
