Burkholderia cepacia MBA4 is a bacterium that can utilize 2-haloacids as carbon and energy sources for growth. It has been proposed that dehalogenase-associated permease mediates the uptake of haloacid. In this paper, we report the first cloning and characterization of such a haloacid permease. The structural gene, designated deh4p, was found 353 bases downstream of the dehalogenase gene deh4a. Quantitative analysis of the expression of deh4p showed that it was induced by monochloroacetate (MCA) ...[more]
