title: Tn917 transposase. Sequence correction reveals a single open reading frame corresponding to the tnpA determinant of Tn3-family elements.
abstract: A nucleotide sequence correction on the Enterococcus faecalis transposon Tn917 indicates that what was formerly thought to be two open reading frames (ORF5 and ORF6) is actually one reading frame (ORF5). The latter exhibits homology with the Tn3-family transposase determinants known as tnpA.
