Abstract
We determined 5.8 kilobases of nucleotide sequence upstream of the rub redoxin encoding rubA gene of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus (Ac) ADP1. S equence analysis revealed four open reading frames named cysD', cobQ, sodA and lysS, coding for proteins with high similarity to known sulfa te adenylate transferases (partial), cobyric acid synthases, superoxid e dismutases (Sod) and lysyl tRNA synthetases, respectively. Out of a large number of bacterial Sod sequences SodA of Ac ADP1 is the first m ember of the Fe/Mn Sod family apparently located in the periplasmic sp ace.
