Depositor Comments

Gene constructed from synthetic DNA.

Produces a form of a protein described as AarB in Fukaya M, Takemura H, Okumura H, Kawamura Y, Horinouchi S, Beppu T. Cloning of genes responsible for acetic acid resistance in Acetobacter aceti. J Bacteriol. 1990 Apr;172(4):2096-104. (PMID 2156811)

Does not appear to produce a soluble protein of the anticipated size.

Gene reannotated as SixA, on other strand, in Mullins EA, Francois JA, Kappock TJ. A specialized citric acid cycle requiring succinyl-coenzyme A (CoA):acetate CoA-transferase (AarC) confers acetic acid resistance on the acidophile Acetobacter aceti. J Bacteriol. 2008 Jul;190(14):4933-40. doi: 10.1128/JB.00405-08. (PMID 18502856)
