CO dehydrogenase/acetyl-coenzyme A synthase (CODH) is the central enzyme in the pathway of acetyl-coenzyme A biosynthesis in Clostridium thermoaceticum. It catalyzes the interconversion of CO and CO2 and the synthesis of acetyl-coenzyme A from the methylated corrinoid/iron sulfur protein, CO, and coenzyme A. It is a nickel-iron-sulfur protein and contains two subunits in the form (alpha beta)3. Reported here is the cloning and sequencing of the genes for both subunits of CODH. The gene for the alpha subunit codes for a protein with 729 amino acids and a molecular weight of 81,730, and the beta gene for a protein with 674 amino acids and a molecular weight of 72,928. The alpha subunit follows the beta subunit by 23 bases and the genes for both subunits are preceded by a sequence which is similar to the Shine-Dalgarno sequence of Escherichia coli. No significant amino acid sequence homology has been found to any known sequence. Labeling CODH with 2,4-dinitrophenylsulfenyl chloride and isolating labeled peptide fragments demonstrated that a tryptophan, residue 418 of the alpha subunit, is protected by coenzyme A and thus may be considered a potential part of the coenzyme A site.
