The Shigella resistance locus (SRL) pathogenicity island (PAI) in Shigella spp. mediates resistance to streptomycin, ampicillin, chloramphenicol, and tetracycline. It can be excised from the chromosome via site-specific recombination mediated by the P4-related int gene. Here, we show that SRL PAI attP is capable of RecA-independent, site-specific, int-mediated integration into two bacterial tRNA attB sites.
志贺氏菌属中的志贺氏菌抗性位点(SRL)致病岛(PAI)介导对链霉素、氨苄青霉素、氯霉素和四环素的抗性。它可以通过由P4相关int基因介导的位点特异性重组从染色体上切除。在这里,我们表明SRL PAI attP能够独立于RecA,通过int介导的位点特异性整合到两个细菌tRNA attB位点中。
