A cleavage map of Tn5, a kanamycin (Km) transposon from plasmid JR67, was constructed from pMKI, a composite plasmid of ColE1 and Tn5, and compared to that of Tn903, a Km transposon from plasmid R6-5. The two transposons showed marked heterogeneity in both the structural gene for Km resistance and t

We describe a 4.5 kilobase transposon, Tn4001, which mediates resistance to gentamicin, tobramycin and kanamycin in Staphylococcus aureus. Originally detected in plasmid pSK1, Tn4001 was shown to undergo rec-independent transposition to the chromosome from this plasmid and from an inserted derivativ
We have performed a detailed analysis of intra- and intermolecular endproducts of transposition of the compound transposon Tn903 and we show that, in our system, the transposition activity is almost entirely driven by one of the flanking insertion sequences, IS903L. The relatively inactive state of
Tn5-trp hybrid transposons have been constructed by insertion of a trpPOED Hind III fragment into an in vivo Tn5 internal deletion mutant or by substitution of trp for the internal Tn5 Hind III fragment. These hybrids are called, respectively, Tn409 and Tn410. Both Tn409 and Tn410 will transpose int
Using a set of overlapping deletion mutants in the tetracycline-resistance transposon Tn10, it has been established that certain regions of the Tn10 genome exert a powerful inhibition on translocation of an intact Tn10 element into the bacterial genome. Such inhibition is strongly temperature depend
