Four Tn5 mutations able to express streptomycin resistance in E. coli were obtained independently. These mutations (called Tn5) were localized and sequenced. All of them consist of a 6 bp deletion in the str gene near the 3' end. The mutation affects a region peculiar for its repetition of an identical 6 bp sequence. The mutation does not affect the level of transcription of the kan, ble, str operon of Tn5, neither does it increase the level of translation of str. The mutation seems to interfere with a post-translational event.
独立获得了四个能在大肠杆菌中表达链霉素抗性的Tn5突变体。对这些突变（称为Tn5）进行了定位和测序。它们均由3'端附近str基因中的6 bp缺失组成。该突变影响一个因其重复相同6 bp序列而独特的区域。该突变不影响Tn5的kan、ble、str操纵子的转录水平，也不增加str的翻译水平。该突变似乎干扰了翻译后事件。
