Another important aspect of IS impact on their bacterial hosts is their ability to modulate gene expression. In addition to acting as vectors for gene transmission from one replicon to another in the form composite transposons (two IS flanking any gene; Fig.1.2.3) and tIS (Fig.1.13.1) and their ability to interrupt genes, it has been known for some time[1][2] that IS can also activate gene expression. This capacity has recently received much attention due to the increase in resistance to various antibacterials[3][4][5], a worrying public health threat[6][7].

They can accomplish this in two ways: either by providing internal promoters whose transcripts escape into neighboring DNA[8][9][10][11] or by hybrid promoter formation. Many IS carry -35 promoter components oriented towards the flanking DNA (Fig.1.24.1). In a number of cases this plays an important part in their transposition since a significant number of IS transpose using an excised transposon circle (Fig.1.24.1) with abutted left and right ends. For these IS, the other end carries a -10 element oriented inwards towards the Tpase gene. Together with the -35, this generates a strong promoter on formation of the circle junction to drive Tpase expression required for catalysis of integration (Fig.1.24.2) [12][13][14][15]. Thus if integration occurs next to a resident -10 sequence, the IS -35 sequence can contribute to a hybrid promoter to drive expression of neighboring genes [see [16]]. At present this phenomenon had been reported to occur with over 30 different IS in more than 17 bacterial species[17][18] (Table IS and Gene Expression below). Indeed, specific vector plasmids have been designed to identify activating insertions (e.g. [19]).

IS activity can affect efflux mechanisms resulting in increased resistance: IS1 or IS10 insertion can up-regulate the AcrAB-TolC pump in Salmonella enterica[20]; IS1 or IS2 insertion upstream of AcrEF[21][22] and IS186 insertional inactivation of the AcrAB repressor, AcrR, in Escherichia coli[23], all lead to increased resistance to fluoroquinolones. Insertional inactivation of specific porins can also play a significant role[24].

Fig. 1.24.1. Copy out paste in (DDE).Left column. Illustrates the copy out paste in transposition mechanism. Right column. Formation of hybrid promoters by copy out -paste in transposition. The left and right terminal inverted repeats of the IS, IRL and IRR, are shown as a square and pointed box respectively. The component –10 and –35 promoter elements of pjunc within these ends are also shown together with the weak pIRL promoter and the direction of transcription of the transposase. In a first step, single-strand cleavage and transfer from one IR to the other is catalyzed by OrfAB produced from the weak pIRL promoter. This is indicated at the top of the figure by the curved arrow. In this case, the right end (IRR) is shown attacking the left end (IRL). The resulting figure-eight form is drawn below and shows the free 3’OH group generated on the flanking donor DNA sequence. In a second step, second-strand circularization occurs by an as yet undetermined mechanism involving host functions but independently of transposon proteins [Turlan et al., 2000 ]. The resulting IRR-IRL junction carries suitably placed -35 and –10 hexamers, separated by a canonical 17 bp spacer and form a strong pjunc (bold arrow) promoter able to promote high levels of production of IS911 proteins. Integration of the circle results in disassembly of the promoter restoring low levels of expression from pIRL. Insertion upstream of a resident -10 promoter element canbring the IR-associated -35 element at the correct distance to form a promoter and activate a downstreal gene.
