Structural genes for nitrate-inducible formate dehydrogenase in Escherichia coli K-12.

Genetics - 1 Aug 1990

Berg B L, Stewart V

Abstract excerpt

Formate oxidation coupled to nitrate reduction constitutes a major anaerobic respiratory pathway in Escherichia coli. This respiratory chain consists of formate dehydrogenase-N, quinone, and nitrate reductase. We have isolated a recombinant DNA clone that likely contains the structural genes, fdnGHI, for the three subunits of formate dehydrogenase-N. The fdnGHI clone produced proteins of 110, 32 and 20 kDa which...
