title: Molecular cloning and expression of the gene encoding Chromatium vinosum 2[4Fe-4S] ferredoxin.
abstract: The gene encoding Chromatium vinosum 2[4Fe-4S] ferredoxin has been cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. It is flanked by a gene starting with the rare codon UUG and homologous to E. coli kdtB. Chromatium vinosum ferredoxin may represent a new sub-class of iron-sulfur proteins widely distributed among diverse, including non-photosynthetic, bacteria.
