Abstract: In order to elucidate the Cd-resistance mechanism of Cupriavidus 6-5 and reduce the heavy metal pollution more efficiently. The two-component signal transduction system czcR2-czcS2 from high Cd- resistance strain Cupriavidus 6-5 was successfully cloned by homology-based cloning method. Results of DNA sequencing and sequence alignment showed that the identity of the nucleotide sequence of obtained genes czcR2 and czcS2 between Cupriavidus 6-5 and the megaplasmid of Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 were from 99% and 98%, respectively. czcR2 and czcS2, adjacent to each other and the same direction of transcription, control other functional gene expression probably as an independent operon. The general characteristics, signal peptide and transmembrane domain of the regulatory gene were predicted by the bioinformatics. The study establish foundation for the development of more thorough research and making of heavy metal pollution control countermeasure, the work has the theory significance and actual application potential.
