 | | Concentrating on Tn3, cointegrate formation requires the action of the enzyme transposase, encoded by the tnpA gene, and resolution requires resolvase, encoded by the tnpR gene, and also the presence on the transposon of a resolution site and intact terminal inverted repeats. |
 | | The full cointegrate is also illustrated in both isometric and topological view to show the relationship of the two transposons to the overall conformation of the cointegrate. |
 | | In the case of Tn951 it is suggested by Cornelis, 1979, that it is the action of cointegrate formation that is influenced by the temperature variation. |
