  • Title: Transposition of the oxacillin-hydrolyzing penicillinase gene.
    Author: Yamamoto T, Tanaka M, Nohara C, Fukunaga Y, Yamagishi S.
    Journal: J Bacteriol; 1981 Feb; 145(2):808-13. PubMed ID: 6257651.
    Abstract:
    We have found that the oxacillin-hydrolyzing penicillinase gene (oxa) encoded by plasmid RGN238 transposes to various plasmids in a recA background. We call this transposable element Tn2603. Tn2603 encodes the genes for streptomycin, sulfonamide, and mercury resistance in addition to the oxa gene. Tn2603 has a molecular size of 19.6 kilobase pairs and appears to be flanked by small inverted repeat sequences of about 200 base pairs long.
