IS902, an insertion element of the chronic-enteritis-causing Mycobacterium avium subsp. silvaticum.
An insertion sequence element of Mycobacterium avium subsp. silvaticum was isolated and its complete nucleotide sequence determined. IS902 is 1470 bp in size and is repeated 10-12 times per genome. An open reading frame of 1200 bp was identified, encoding a protein product of Mr 43932. This protein is highly similar to the predicted proteins of IS900 of Mycobacterium paratuberculosis, IS116 of Streptomyces clavuligerus and IS110 of Streptomyces coelicolor. IS902 lacks terminal inverted repeats and flanking direct repeats but displays insertion site specificity.
