InAlcaligenes eutrophusJMP134, pJP4 carries the genes coding for 2,4‐dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4‐D) and 3‐chlorobenzoate (3‐Cba) degradation plus mercury resistance. The plasmid genes specifying 2,4‐D and 3‐Cba catabolism are organized in three operons:tfdA, tfdB, andtfdCDEF.Regulation of these operons by two unlinked genes,tfdRandtfdS, has been proposed. Physical and DNA sequence analyses revealed that thetfdRandtfdSgenes were identical and were located within a longer inverted repeat of 1592bp. Similar stem‐loop structures were observed among other 2,4‐D plasmids. ThetfdRgene is 888 bp long and capable of encoding a polypeptide of 32kDa. The deduced amino acid sequence oftfdRindicates that it is a member of the LysR‐type activators. Investigation of the regulation of the catabolic gene clusters through the construction of a pJP4 defined deletion mutant, pYG1010, which lacks a 4.2 kilobaseXbalfragment containing the inverted repeat region carrying thetfdRandtfdSregulatory genes, showed thatPseudomonas cepaciastrains containing pYG1010 became 2,4‐D negative, but 3‐Cba positive.In vivorecombinants of pYG1010 and a clonedtfdSgene rescued the 2,4‐D phenotype, indicating that TfdS is a positive regulator oftfdAexpression, but not fortfdCDEFexpression.
