[Transposition immunity in bacteriophage Mu. The effect of a mutation at the kil gene on the establishment of immunity].
Bacteriophage Mu is characterized by a phenomenon similar to the transposition immunity of TnA: the frequency of transposition of Mu or mini-Mu into plasmids containing certain phage sequences is reduced by two orders of magnitude. In order to lend transposition immunity to Mu, the recipient replicon must contain a sequence of phage DNA including a 5.1 kb early region from the c-end of Mu. The product of the kil (or cim) gene takes part in establishing the immunity. The transposition immunity of Mu is connected with the disturbance of cointegrate formation.
