Abstract

ABSTRACT The arsenic resistance gene cluster of Microbacterium sp. A33 contains a novel pair of genes ( arsTX ) encoding a thioredoxin system that are cotranscribed with an unusual arsRC2 fusion gene, ACR3 , and arsC1 in an operon divergent from arsC3 . The whole ars gene cluster is required to complement an Escherichia coli ars mutant. ArsRC2 negatively regulates the expression of the pentacistronic operon. ArsC1 and ArsC3 are related to thioredoxin-dependent arsenate reductases; however, ArsC3 lacks the two distal catalytic cysteine residues of this class of enzymes.
