Organization and transcriptional characterization of the cat1 gene cluster in Acinetobacter lwoffi K24.

Abstract:

:Previously, we have reported that two clustered cat genes from Acenitobacter lwoffi K24 had different arrangements, catB1C1A1 and catB2A2C2 (Kim, S.I., S.-H. Leem, J.-S. Choi, Y.H. Chung, S. Kim, Y.-M. Park, Y.K. Park, Y.N. Lee, and K.-S. Ha. 1997, J. Bacteriol. 179, 5226-5231). By further analysis of the organization of the cat1 gene cluster, we obtained a complete sequence of the catB1 gene, which encoded 40.8-kDa polypeptide containing 379 amino acids, and found a open reading frame (ORF) coding a putative regulatory protein in upstream region of catB1 on plasmid pCD1-1. This ORF encoded 34.2-kDa polypeptide containing 379 amino acids and had more than 40% identity with catR, LysR family regulatory protein of Pseudomonas putida. RT-PCR, Northern blot analysis and primer extension assay for transcriptional analysis of the cat1 gene cluster revealed that the catB1C1 genes were cotranscribed and the catA1 gene was independently transcribed.
