The tdh (thermostable direct hemolysin) gene occurs in some strains of Vibrio species. All tdh genes are flanked by insertion sequence-like elements (ISV). All previous attempts have failed to detect transposition of these ISVs. In this work, we have built a transposition detection system in E. coli and succeeded in detecting the transposition of an insertion sequence-like element at a frequency of Km(r) mutants of 7.2 x 10(-6). A specific flanking sequence (5'-Py-Pu-3') was found on either side of the target duplication.
tdh(耐热直接溶血素)基因存在于某些弧菌属菌株中。所有tdh基因都侧翼有类插入序列元件(ISV)。此前所有检测这些ISV转座的尝试均未成功。在本研究中,我们构建了一个大肠杆菌转座检测系统,并成功以7.2×10⁻⁶的卡那霉素抗性(Km(r))突变体频率检测到一个类插入序列元件的转座。在靶标重复序列两侧均发现了一个特定的侧翼序列(5'-Py-Pu-3')。
