A new insertion sequence (IS element), IS1411, was
identified downstream of the phenol degradation genes pheBA
that originated from plasmid DNA of Pseudomonas sp. strain
EST1001. According to sequence analysis, IS1411 belongs to
a new family of IS elements that has recently been named the
ISL3 family (J. Mahillon and M. Chandler, Microbiol. Mol.
Biol. Rev. 62:725-774, 1998). IS1411 generates 8-bp
duplication of the target DNA and carries 24-bp inverted repeats (IRs),
highly homologous to the IRs of other IS elements belonging to this
family. IS1411 was discovered as a result of insertional
activation of promoterless pheBA genes in Pseudomonas
putida due to the presence of outward-directed promoters at the
left end of IS1411. Both promoters located on the IS
element have sequences that are similar to the consensus sequence of
Escherichia coli
70. IS1411 can
produce IS circles, and the circle formation is enhanced when two
copies of the element are present in the same plasmid.
