The Complex Genetic Context of blaPER-1 Flanked by Miniature Inverted-Repeat Transposable Elements in Acinetobacter johnsonii
Figure 1
Structures flanked by the 439-bp MITE.
Two overlapping long-range PCR are shown by lines with primer names and amplicon sizes being indicated. The MITEs shown here have identical nucleotide sequences and are in the same direction. The 5-bp DR characteristics of the transposition of MITE-form composite transposon-like element are indicated. The GenBank accession numbers, the host species and strain number of each structure are listed. The identical regions are highlighted in grey. Only partial sequences are available for the integron carrying blaIMP-1 (GenBank accession numbers AM283490 and AJ640197). The oriIS and the putative terIS of ISCR1 are shown and the inverted repeats of terIS [23] are underlined. The 25-bp terminal sequences of this 439-bp MITE are shown with 18 bp matched.
