Identification of trans- and cis-control elements involved in regulation of the carbon monoxide dehydrogenase genes in Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1 DSM 3803.

The cutR gene was identified 314 bp upstream of the divergently oriented cutB1C1A1 operon encoding carbon monoxide (CO) dehydrogenase in Mycobacterium sp. strain JC1. Its deduced product was composed of 320 amino acid residues with a calculated molecular mass of 34.
