Nitrate-inducible formate dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli K-12. I. Nucleotide sequence of the fdnGHI operon and evidence that opal (UGA) encodes selenocysteine.

The Journal of biological chemistry - 25 Nov 1991

Berg B L, Li J, Heider J, Stewart V

Abstract excerpt

The fdnGHI operon of Escherichia coli encodes nitrate-inducible formate dehydrogenase. We report here the entire nucleotide sequence of fdnGHI. The sequence contains three open reading frames of sizes appropriate to encode the three subunits of formate dehydrogenase-N. fdnG contains an in-frame UGA codon that specifies selenocysteine incorporation, and the predicted amino acid sequence of FdnG shows similarity to...
