Regulation of IS1 transposition by the insA gene product.

Abstract:

:The IS1 element contains two adjacent genes called insA and insB, both required for IS1 transposition and IS1-mediated plasmid cointegration. These two genes are transcribed polycistronically from the promoter in the left terminal inverted repeat of IS1 (insL). We constructed overexpression systems of these genes with the tac promoter, which are regulated by an exogenous inducer, isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). Then we have examined, under various conditions of induction with IPTG, how overexpression of these genes affects IS1 transposition, using an assay based on plasmid cointegration. When the insA and insB genes were organized identically to the wild-type IS1 genes and simultaneously expressed using low concentrations of IPTG, activity of a mutant IS1 in cis was restored, but not in trans. Higher IPTG concentrations resulted in lower transposition activity. Expression in trans of insA and insB results in a 50 to 100-fold reduction of the frequency of cointegration mediated by wild-type IS1. Such a reduction is also observed when only the insA gene is overexpressed in trans. Overexpression of either mutant insA or insB does not affect the cointegration event. Tests with the insA-lacZ fusion gene showed that the InsA product inhibits the expression of IS1 genes directed by its own promoter in insL. These results suggest that the InsA product regulates IS1 transposition by inhibiting expression of IS1 transposition genes in addition to acting as part of a transposase complex.
