Article Synopsis
- A new insertion sequence called ISLC3, measuring 1351 bp, has been extracted from Lactobacillus casei, revealing two types of junction formations: a complete junction with a 3 bp spacer and a deleted junction removing 25 bp from the left inverted repeat.
- The complete junction promoter (P(jun)) demonstrated greater activity than the deleted junction promoter (P(djun)) and the native promoter (P(IRL)), with specific transcription start sites identified for all three promoters using a primer extension assay.
- Additionally, the transposase enzyme (OrfAB) associated with ISLC3 exhibited a preference for cleaving DNA at the right inverted repeat (IRR) during transposition, indicating a directional cleavage process from IR
