The relaxed requirements of the integron cleavage site allow predictable changes in integron target specificity
Integrons are able to incorporate exogenous genes embedded in mobile cassettes, by a site-specific recombination mechanism. Gene cassettes are collected at the attI site, via an integrase mediated recombination between the cassette recombination site, attC, and the attI site. Interestingly, only three nucleotides are conserved between attC and attI. Here, we have determined the requirements of ...
متن کاملSite-specific deletion and rearrangement of integron insert genes catalyzed by the integron DNA integrase.
Deletion of individual antibiotic resistance genes found within the variable region of integrons is demonstrated. Evidence for gene duplications and rearrangements resulting from the insertion of gene units at new locations is also presented. Deletion, duplication, and rearrangement occur only in the presence of the integron-encoded DNA integrase. These events are precise and involve loss or ga...
متن کاملCellular pathways controlling integron cassette site folding.
By mobilizing small DNA units, integrons have a major function in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance among bacteria. The acquisition of gene cassettes occurs by recombination between the attI and attC sites catalysed by the IntI1 integron integrase. These recombination reactions use an unconventional mechanism involving a folded single-stranded attC site. We show that cellular bacterial...
متن کاملMutational analysis of the membrane-proximal cleavage site of L- selectin: relaxed sequence specificity surrounding the cleavage site
L-selectin expression is regulated in part by membrane-proximal cleavage from the cell surface of leukocytes and L-selectin-transfected cells. The downregulation of L-selectin from the surface of neutrophils is speculated to be a process involved in the adhesion cascade leading to neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation. We previously reported that L-selectin is cleaved between Lys321 a...
متن کاملthe impact of skopos on syntactic features of the target text
the present study is an experimental case study which investigates the impacts, if any, of skopos on syntactic features of the target text. two test groups each consisting of 10 ma students translated a set of sentences selected from advertising texts in the operative and informative mode. the resulting target texts were then statistically analyzed in terms of the number of words, phrases, si...
