The coupling sequences of conjugative transposons are short variable sequences derived from the DNA flanking the transposon insertion site. We show here that for Tn916 the left coupling sequence is 6 bases long. The right-hand end of the transposon can excise with either four or five T's, but integration occurs to restore the five T's at the transposon's right end.
接合转座子的连接序列是源自转座子插入位点侧翼DNA的短可变序列。我们在此表明,对于Tn916而言,左侧连接序列长度为6个碱基。转座子的右端可以带着4个或5个T切除,但整合会发生以在转座子右端恢复5个T。
