The transposase encoded by insertion sequence IS1 is produced from two out-of-phase reading frames (insA and B'-insB) by translational frameshifting, which occurs within a run of six adenines in the -1 direction. To determine the sequence essential for frameshifting, substitution mutations were intr
A mutant of TnA no longer recognizing immune plasmids had been isolated. The mutation is complemented in trans by a functional tnpR gene. The requirement for wild type tnpR gene product for the establishment of transposition immunity was confirmed by the use of a derivative of transposon Tn3 in whic
