Insertion element IS5 contains a third gene

B Rak et al. EMBO J. 1984 Apr.

Abstract

We have previously shown that IS5 contains two genes encoded on opposite DNA strands within the same stretch of DNA. Here we present evidence that a third gene and its promoter are present on IS5. The newly discovered gene, ins5C , is contained within the longest gene of IS5, ins5A , but encoded by the complementary DNA strand. The three genes comprise a total of 519 codons present on the 1195-bp element. The arrangement of these genes represents a coding structure of unprecedented compactness.
