title: Molecular cloning of transducer genes hjtA and hjtC from extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica.
abstract: The genes encoding putative taxis transducers hjtA and hjtC were cloned from triangular disc-shaped extremely halophilic archaeon Haloarcula japonica strain TR-1. Nucleotide sequencing analysis revealed that HjtA and HjtC consisted of 438 and 630 amino acids, respectively. HjtA and HjtC have the highly conserved sequence which is commonly found in signaling domains of bacterial and archaeal transducers.
