微型反向重复转座元件 (MITE) 已被鉴定为 1 类整合子的侧翼。我们在葡萄牙和巴西分离的 7 种不动杆菌中鉴定并鉴定了 439 bp MITE 样结构。元件和侧翼区域的完整序列相似性表明 MITE 可能充当传播整合子的可移动载体。
Miniature inverted repeat transposable elements (MITEs) have been identified flanking class 1 integrons. We have identified and characterized a 439-bp MITE-like structure in seven Acinetobacter species isolates from Portugal and Brazil. The complete sequence similarity of the elements and flanking regions suggests that MITEs may act as mobilizable vectors for the dissemination of integrons.
