The open reading frames present in this region are organized into two transcriptional units. One contains vnfH (encoding dinitrogenase reductase 2) and a ferredoxinlike open reading frame (Fd). The second one includes vnfD (encoding the alpha subunit of dinitrogenase 2), vnfG (encoding a product similar to the delta subunit of dinitrogenase 2 from A. chroococcum), and vnfK (encoding the beta subunit of dinitrogenase 2). The 5'-flanking regions of vnfH and vnfD contain sequences similar to ntrA-dependent promoters. This gene arrangement allows independent expression of vnfH-Fd and vnfDGK. Mutant strains (CA80 and CA11.80) carrying an insertion in vnfH are still able to synthesize the alpha and beta subunits of dinitrogenase 2 when grown in N-free, Mo-deficient, V-containing medium. A strain (RP1.11) carrying a deletion-plus-insertion mutation in the vnfDGK region produced only dinitrogenase reductase 2.}, number={6}, journal={JOURNAL OF BACTERIOLOGY}, author={JOERGER, RD and LOVELESS, TM and PAU, RN and MITCHENALL, LA and SIMON, BH and BISHOP, PE}, year={1990}, month={Jun}, pages={3400–3408} }
