Shaded triangles represent inverted repeats (IR) sequences. Empty triangles represent IRs of insertion sequences, ISKpn6 and ISKpn7. The location of the variable region is as labeled. (Adapted from [14] and [22]). a: Schematic representation of intact classical Tn4401. b: Examples of truncated Tn4401 detected in this study. ISKpn7, encodes two consecutive open reading frames (ORF); istA which encodes a 341-amino-acid putative transposase while istB encodes a 259-amino-acid transposition helper protein. TnpA encodes a transposase of 1,009 amino acids while tnpR is a 1,713 bp resolvase gene
