Uptake of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetate (2,4-D) by Ralstonia eutropha JMP134(pJP4) was studied and shown to be an energy-dependent process. The uptake system was inducible with 2,4-D and followed saturation kinetics in a concentration range of up to 60 microM, implying the involvement of a protein in the transport process. We identified an open reading frame on plasmid pJP4, which was designated tfdK, whose translation product TfdK was highly hydrophobic and showed resemblance to transport proteins ...[more]
