Abstract:The high-pathogenicity island (Yen HPI) of Yersinia enterocolitica biogroup (BG) 1B strains is associated with mouse virulence. Three repeated sequences are clustered on the A+T-rich part of the Yen HPI downstream of the fyuA yersiniabactin receptor gene in Y. enterocolitica O:8 strains WA-314 and 8081. In addition to IS1328 and IS1400, the RS3 repeated sequence consists of a novel insertion sequence, IS1329, inserted into the remnants of IS1222. This partial IS retains both 44-bp inverted terminal repeats (ITRs) of IS1222 but has suffered deletions of different sizes in strains WA-314 and 8081. IS1329 is 1243-bp long, carries 25-bp imperfect ITRs and two consecutive orfs capable to encode 110-amino acid (aa) and 249-aa proteins, respectively. IS1329 is present only in BG 1B Y. enterocolitica strains. Similarly to IS1400, IS1329 and IS1222 belong to the IS3 group of mobile elements and seem to have preference for the 'local hopping' into the A+T-rich part of the Yen HPI. These insertion sequences may be responsible for the imprecise deletions of the Yen HPI in strain WA-314.
