  • Title: Transposition protein of Tn3: identification and characterisation of an essential repressor-controlled gene product.
    Author: Chou J, Lemaux PG, Casadaban MJ, Cohen SN.
    Journal: Nature; ; 282(5741):801-6. PubMed ID: 390402.
    Abstract:
    Fusions that bring lac gene expression under the control of transcriptional and translational signals within the Tn3 element have been used to identify and characterise a Tn3-encoded 'transposase' (Tnp) peptide of MW 100,000 essential for transposition. The gene specifying this product is regulated by the Tn3 repressor protein and is part of a bidirectional genetic unit that includes the repressor gene.
