Description of the ORFs contained in the recombinant plasmids of the nickel-resistant clones.

ORFs involved in Ni resistance are shown in bold type. (1) C-term and N-term represent carboxy and amino ends, respectively. (2) The amino acid sequence of non-specific protein-tyrosine kinase deposited in GenBank (EGO95634) is incomplete on the carboxy end. The full protein, as derived from A. cryptum JF5 (ABQ30731) and A. multivorum AIU301 (BAJ80915) consists of 718 residues. (3) The amino acid sequence of RND efflux transporter deposited in Genbank (EGO95522) is incomplete on the amino end. The full protein, as derived from A. cryptum JF5 (ABQ30260) and A. multivorum AIU301 (BAJ80194) consists of 858 residues. (4) TMH stands for transmembrane helixes.
