Analysis of the Zinc Finger Domain of TnpA, a DNA Targeting Protein Encoded by Mobilizable Transposon Tn4555
Bacic, Melissa K.; Jain, Jinesh C.; Parker, Anita C.; Smith, C. Jeffrey (East Carolina University, 2007-07)The mobilizable transposon Tn4555, found in Bacteroides spp., is an important antibiotic resistance element encoding a broad spectrum beta-lactamase. Tn4555 is mobilized by conjugative transposons such as CTn341 which can ... -
Genetic and Structural Analysis of the Bacteroides Conjugative Transposon CTn341
Bacic, Melissa K.; Parker, Anita C.; Stagg, J.; Whitley, H. P.; Wells, W. G.; Jacob, L. A.; Smith, C. J. (East Carolina University, 2005-04)The genetic structure and functional organization of a Bacteroides conjugative transposon (CTn), CTn341, were determined. CTn341 was originally isolated from a tetracycline-resistant clinical isolate of Bacteroides vulgatus. ...
