Cloning and expression of the carbon monoxide dehydrogenase genes from strain C2

Abstract
Carbon monoxide dehydrogenase (CODH) from Pseudomonas thermocarboxydovorans strain C2 is composed of three non-identical subunits. A gene library of C2 DNA in lambda vector L47.1 was generated and screened using anti-CODH serum. Western blotting experiments revealed a protein which co-migrated with and had the same immunological reaction as the large subunit of CODH in some of the clones isolated from the library. The coding region was pinpointed to a 4 kb fragment which was subcloned into plasmid. Western blotting experiments showed that all three subunits of CODH were coded for by the subclone. However, no CODH activity was detected.
