RESUMO
The insertion sequence IS481 and its isoform IS1002 have been observed to transpose into the bvgAS locus of Bordetella pertussis, for which the DNA sequence has previously been determined. Upon insertion of IS481 at three different sites and IS1002 at one site, a 6-bp sequence originally present was found at the junction of bvg and insertion sequence DNA. This indicates that, contrary to prior reports, IS481 and IS1002 do create a duplication upon insertion. In this light, examination of these and other examples of IS481 and IS1002 reported in the literature leads to the observation that the 6-bp recognition sequence usually fits the consensus NCTAGN. The near-palindromic nature of this sequence, when directly repeated at the ends of IS481 or IS1002, apparently led to the interpretation that 5 of these base pairs were part of the terminal inverted repeats flanking these elements.
