Transcription termination and antitermination are critical for the fitness and function of the integrative and conjugative element Tn916. by Erika S Wirachman, Alan D Grossman

“…Tn916, the founding member of a large family of integrative and conjugative elements (ICEs; aka conjugative transposons), confers tetracycline-resistance and is found in several Gram-positive bacterial species. We identified a transcription terminator near one end of Tn916 that functions as an insulator that prevents expression of element genes when Tn916 is integrated downstream from an active host promoter. …”
