Jn. Volff et J. Altenbuchner, HIGH-FREQUENCY TRANSPOSITION OF IS1373, THE INSERTION-SEQUENCE DELIMITING THE AMPLIFIABLE ELEMENT AUD2 OF STREPTOMYCES LIVIDIANS, Journal of bacteriology, 179(17), 1997, pp. 5639-5642
IS1373 is the putative insertion Sequence delimiting the amplifiable u
nit AUD2 of Streptomyces lividans. Two IS1373-derived thiostrepton-res
istant transposons; Tn5492 and Tn5494, transposed into multiple sites
of the S. lividans chromosome at frequencies as high as 0.4 and 1%; re
spectively: Hence, IS1373 a functional insertion sequence and its uniq
ue open reading frame; insA, encodes the transposase.
