Nucleotide Sequence of the Bacterial Transposon Tn-1681 Encoding a Heat Stable Toxin and Its Identification in Entero Toxigenic Escherichia-Coli Strains

So, M., McCarthy, B. J. (1980) Nucleotide Sequence of the Bacterial Transposon Tn-1681 Encoding a Heat Stable Toxin and Its Identification in Entero Toxigenic Escherichia-Coli Strains. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 77 (7). pp. 4011-4015.

Abstract

The E. coli heat-stable toxin (ST I) is encoded within a transposon (Tn1681) flanked by inverted repeats of insertion sequence 1 (IS1). By subcloning restriction fragments and by insertion mutagenesis, the gene for ST I within the transposon was located precisely. The complete nucleotide sequence of the central portion of Tn1681 (i.e., that part flanked by IS1) was determined and the coding sequence of the toxin was identified.
