The genes encoding A<inf>1</inf>-ATPase A- and B-subunits were cloned from <it>Haloarcula japonica</it> strain TR-1. Nucleotide sequencing analysis of the A<inf>1</inf>-ATPase gene revealed that the A- and B-subunits consisted of 586 and 473 amino acids, respectively. The deduced amino acid sequences of the A- and B-subunits of <it>Ha. japonica</it> showed high identities with those of <it>Halobacterium salinarum</it> and <it>Haloferax volcanii</it>. The consensus ATP-binding motif was found in the A-subunit.
