The gene encoding a ferredoxin (Fd) fromHaloarcula japonicastrain TR-1 was cloned and sequenced. Sequence analysis of the clonedHa. japonicaFd gene revealed that the structural gene consisted of an open reading frame of 387 nucleotides encoding 129 amino acids. The deduced amino acid sequence ofHa. japonicaFd showed 84 to 98% identity with corresponding sequences in other extremely halophilic archaea. TheHa. japonicaFd gene was inserted into the shuttle vector pWL102 and used to transformHa. japonica.Ha. japonicaFd could then be produced as a fusion with His⋅Tag (6xHis) inHa. japonicahost cells. The absorption and ESR spectra of the Fd/His⋅Tag fusion protein revealed the presence of a [2Fe-2S] cluster which is characteristic of nativeHa. japonicaFd.
