Transcript mapping of the rubredoxin gene from Clostridium pasteurianum.

The transcripts of the rubredoxin gene from C. pasteurianum have been shown to have a size of approx. 230 bases by Northern blotting techniques. The transcription start has been located within 41 bases upstream of the initiator codon. The data demonstrate that the rubredoxin gene is monocistronic. Two of the three open reading frames occurring upstream of the rubredoxin gene are adjacent and appear to encode a thioredoxin (or glutaredoxin) reductase and a thioredoxin (or glutaredoxin).
