The role of transposons in replication: Tn5 suppresses ts-mutation for plasmid RP1 replication in Escherichia coli cells
Authors:G E Baumanis  S Ia Auza  Iu O Iakobson
Abstract:Effect of restoration by transposon Tn5 of genetic damage in RP1 plasmid replication (named transposon suppression) was described. Hybrid plasmid, a derivative of RP1 and RP4, having ts mutation for replication--tsr12 and deletion in the aphA gene controlling kanamycin resistance, was constructed. Five of derivatives of this plasmid containing transposon Tn5 were made, and the strains containing both the Tn5 integrated into the chromosome and intact hybrid plasmid or the parental plasmid with the replication ts mutation, were constructed. It was shown that transposon Tn5 comprised within the hybrid plasmid or in the chromosome promotes maintenance of these replication defective plasmids in the bacterial culture at a non-permissive temperature and thus suppresses plasmid mutation tsr12. It was determined that the extent of suppression of plasmid replication ts mutation depends on the localization of transposon Tn5.
