Multiple copies of genes coding for electron transport proteins in the bacterium Nitrosomonas europaea

The genome of Nitrosomonas europaea contains at least three copies each of the genes coding for hydroxylamine oxidoreductase (HAO) and cytochrome c554. A copy of an HAO gene is always located within 2.7 kb of a copy of a cytochrome c554 gene. Cytochrome P-460, a protein that shares very unusual spectral features with HAO, was found to be encoded by a gene separate from the HAO genes.
