Abstract

ABSTRACT The self-transmissible plasmid pUO1 from Delftia acidovorans strain B carries two haloacetate-catabolic transposons, Tn Had1 and Tn Had2 , and the mer genes for resistance to mercury. The complete 67,066-bp sequence of pUO1 revealed that the mer genes were also carried by two Tn 402 /Tn 5053 -like transposons, Tn 4671 and Tn 4672 , and that the pUO1 backbone regions shared 99% identity to those of the archetype IncP-1β plasmid R751. Comparison of pUO1 with three other IncP-1β plasmids illustrated the importance of transposon insertion in the diversity and evolution of this group of plasmids. Mutational analysis of the four outermost residues in the inverted repeats (IRs) of Tn Had2 , a Tn 21 -related transposon, revealed a crucial role of the second residue of its IRs in transposition.
