A brp homolog of Haloarcula japonica: gene cloning and transcriptional analysis

Nucleic Acids Res Suppl. 2003:(3):267-8. doi: 10.1093/nass/3.1.267.

Abstract

The gene encoding a homolog of Halobacterium salinarum bacterioopsin-related protein (Brp) was cloned from Haloarcula japonica strain TR-1. Nucleotide sequencing analysis of the possible brp gene revealed that the structural gene consisted of an open reading frame of 1,062 nucleotides encoding 354 amino acids. Transcription of the brp homolog in Ha. japonica was confirmed by RT-PCR.
