Conjugative transposon Tn916 from Enterococcus faecalis DS16 encodes tetracycline resistance (Tet M) as well as determinants necessary for its own movement. Determination of the nucleotide sequence of Tn916 has been completed. The element is 18,032 bp in length and has an overall G+C content of 38.8%. Twenty-four potential open reading frames (ORFs) were identified based on sequence analysis. Similarities of the ORFs to other known determinants, which were revealed by database searches, are discussed.
来自粪肠球菌DS16的接合转座子Tn916编码四环素抗性(Tet M)及其自身移动所需的决定簇。Tn916核苷酸序列的测定已经完成。该元件长度为18,032 bp,G+C总含量为38.8%。基于序列分析鉴定出24个潜在的开放阅读框(ORF)。讨论了通过数据库搜索揭示的这些ORF与其他已知决定簇的相似性。
