Methylation of a membrane protein involved in bacterial chemotaxis.

abstract：:We have recently characterized a transposable element, ISH1, which inactivates the bacterio-opsin (BO) gene in two purple membrane-deficient (Pum-) mutants of Halobacterium halobium. Examination of nine additional Pum- mutants now shows that in all of these the BO gene has been inactivated by insertion of one of two t...
