Transposon Tn1 intra-molecular transposition.

R Bishop, D Sherratt

    Molecular & General Genetics : MGG
    |January 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study demonstrates that intra-molecular transposition of Tn1 generates deletions and inversions, requiring the tnpA gene product. Intra-molecular transposition is less limited by immunity and occurs at comparable frequencies to inter-molecular transposition.

    Area of Science:

    • Molecular Biology
    • Genetics
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Transposition is a key mechanism for genetic rearrangement.
    • Understanding the regulation of intra- and inter-molecular transposition is crucial for deciphering genome dynamics.
    • Tn1 transposition models predict specific gene requirements and regulatory constraints.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To directly select and analyze intra- and inter-molecular transposition events mediated by Tn1.
    • To investigate the roles of tnpA and tnpR gene products in Tn1 transposition.
    • To assess the impact of 'transposition immunity' on intra-molecular transposition.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a direct selection system for transposition events.
    • Utilizing the bacteriophage lambda cI-PR region as a target DNA sequence.
    • Characterization of mutations resulting from intra-molecular Tn1 transposition.

    Main Results:

    • Intra-molecular transposition of Tn1 was shown to generate deletions and inversions.
    • The tnpA gene product is required for intra-molecular transposition, while tnpR is not.
    • Intra-molecular Tn1 transposition exhibits reduced 'transposition immunity' compared to inter-molecular transposition.
    • Frequencies of intra-molecular transposition are comparable to inter-molecular transposition.

    Conclusions:

    • The findings support current models of Tn1 transposition regarding gene product requirements.
    • Intra-molecular transposition is a significant pathway for generating genomic alterations.
    • The developed selection system is versatile for studying various mutations.
