Abstract: | The ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase rbcL and rbcS genes of a carbon monoxide-oxidizing bacterium, Hydrogenophaga pseudoflava DSM 1084, were cloned and sequenced. The cloned rbcL and rbcS genes had open reading frames of 1422 and 351 nucleotides encoding RbcL and RbcS with calculated molecular masses of 52,689 and 13,541, respectively. The known active site residues in other RbcL proteins were conserved in the H. pseudoflava proteins. The H. pseudoflava RbcS protein lacked the 12-residue internal sequence found in the plant enzymes. The 2 genes were separated by a 134 bp intergenic region and cotranscribed as a 2.0 kb rbcLS mRNA. Novel two perfect 9 bp direct repeats overlapping with two dyad symmetries were found in the rbcLS promoter region. |
