  • Transposons of the Mu superfamily are widespread and have been shown to play an important role in the dissemination of antibiotic resistance among microorganisms. One of these elements, Tn5090/Tn402 is the basal vehicle of the type 1 integrons in which mobile resistance gene cassettes are inserted to form clusters and operons. The transposon was shown to preferentially target recombination sites of the serine family of recombinases that occur in many plasmids and transposons. Mutation analysis revealed that DNA-binding of the targeting factor, a serine recombinase, is essential for efficient transposition, while the recombination activity is not required. Truncated elements were frequently observed and in one instance borne on a composite transposon flanked by IS6100. This new transposon, Tn5089, has allowed the translocation of the integron to small mobilizable IncQ-plasmids that lack the targeting factor and thus are incompetent for insertion of Tn5090/Tn402. Another small replicon, by contrast targeting-positive, was completely sequenced.The transposon Tn5090/Tn402 carries arrayed transposase-binding sites at the ends, which are supposed to arrange the transposase TniA in the appropriate geometry in a recombinationally active complex with DNA. Footprinting showed that transposase, TniA, binds to four 19 bp repeats on one end and to two 19 bp repeats on the other end.Site-specific resolution of Tn5090/Tn402 co-integrates was analysed in an in vitro system. The res site was found to be composed of three unusually organized subsites and expression of TniC was shown to be autoregulated by TniC acting as repressor due to an overlap of the res site with the promoter. The data presented show several aspects of cooperation between transposition and site-specific recombination. This cooperation has enriched genes and combinations of genes that mediate resistance to antibiotic drugs and promotes lateral transfer of these genes. The organization of sites and subsites in the DNA is a subtle genetic code for the formation of the molecule complexes controlling these genetic events.
