Plasmids containing one inverted repeat of Tn21 can fuse with other plasmids in the presence of Tn21 transposase

Plasmids containing one inverted repeat of Tn21 can fuse with other plasmids in the presence of Tn21 transposase

P Avila et al. Mol Gen Genet. 1984.

Abstract

In the presence of the Tn21 transposase, plasmids that contain a single Tn21 inverted repeat sequence fuse efficiently with other plasmids. This reaction occurs in recA strains, is independent of the transposon-encoded resolution system, and results in insertions into different sites in the recipient plasmid. All fusion products studied contained at least one complete copy of the donor plasmid; most also contained some duplication of it as well. The data are consistent with processive models of transposition.
