Nucleotide sequence analysis of IS256 from the Staphylococcus aureus gentamicin-tobramycin-kanamycin-resistance transposon Tn4001.

Resistance to the aminoglycosides gentamicin, tobramycin and kanamycin (GmTmKmR) in Australian clinical strains of Staphylococcus aureus is commonly carried on the composite transposon Tn4001. The resistance gene aacA-aphD of Tn4001, which encodes a bifunctional AAC(6')-APH(2") modifying enzyme, is flanked by two 1324-bp inverted repeats, IS256L and IS256R, that are identical in sequence. Analysis of the IS256 sequence revealed structural features characteristic of IS elements including 26-bp imperfect terminal inverted repeats and a single open reading frame with coding capacity for a 45.6 kDa protein. The nucleotide sequence of IS256 described here, together with the sequence of the aacA-aphD gene reported previously [Rouch et al., J. Gen. Microbiol. 133 (1987) 3039-3052], completes the entire sequence of Tn4001, which totals 4566 bp.[1]
