We have determined the sequence of the inverted repeats and duplicated target DNA of the halobacterial insertion elements ISH2 (520 bp), ISH23 (900 bp) and ISH24 (3000 bp) associated with bacterio-opsin (bop) mutants. ISH2 has a perfect 19 bp inverted repeat (3,5), while both ISH23 and ISH24 have imperfect inverted repeats of 29 bp and 14 bp respectively. ISH23 was shown to be highly homologous to ISH50 (6). Variable lengths of duplicated target DNA are found when ISH2 and ISH23 (ISH50) transpose into different sites. A 550 bp DNA insert ("ISH25") reverts the Bop mutation caused by ISH24. "ISH25" lacks typical structural features of a transposable element. "ISH25" and ISH24 are found adjacent to each other upstream of the bop gene. An identical arrangement of "ISH25" and ISH24 is found in the cccDNA of H. halobium NRC817. Comparative sequence analysis of both areas suggests that the translocation of "ISH25" to the bop gene region occurred by a recombination event.
我们已经确定了与细菌视紫红质(bop)突变体相关的嗜盐菌插入元件ISH2(520碱基对)、ISH23(900碱基对)和ISH24(3000碱基对)的反向重复序列和重复的靶DNA序列。ISH2有一个完美的19碱基对反向重复序列(3,5),而ISH23和ISH24分别有不完美的29碱基对和14碱基对反向重复序列。ISH23已被证明与ISH50高度同源(6)。当ISH2和ISH23(ISH50)转座到不同位点时,会发现重复靶DNA的长度可变。一个550碱基对的DNA插入片段(“ISH25”)可回复由ISH24引起的Bop突变。“ISH25”缺乏转座元件的典型结构特征。在bop基因上游发现“ISH25”和ISH24彼此相邻。在嗜盐栖热菌NRC817的cccDNA中发现了“ISH25”和ISH24的相同排列。对这两个区域的比较序列分析表明,“ISH25”向bop基因区域的易位是由重组事件发生的。
