FIG. 3.
Nucleotides and amino acid sequences of the In86 5′ CS found in the studied strains. Asterisks and horizontal arrows indicate the stop codon and the transcription direction of the partial open reading frames, respectively. The corresponding predicted protein translation is reported below the DNA sequence. The IS26 15-bp inverted repeat is boxed, and the IRi and the i1 to i4 inverted repeats typical of the 5′ CS of Tn402-like elements are also indicated. The hypothetical 8-bp direct repeat of IS26 is in boldface type.
