By screening a library of lacZ transcriptional gene fusions in Escherichia coli on HgCl2, a gene whose expression was found to be mercury-inducible was isolated. This gene, named zntA, encodes a metal translocating P-type ATPbase conferring resistance of E. coli to cadmium, lead and zinc by extrusion. By measuring zntA::lacZ gene expression, we have shown that this fusion is responsive to the presence of inorganic compounds of cadmium, mercury, lead ans zinc in a dose-dependant manner. A zntA-based reporter plasmid has been constructed by insertion of the PCR synthesized promotor sequence of zntA into the plasmid vector containing luxCDABE genes encoding bacterial luciferase of Vibrio fischeri.The resulting plasmid, pZNT::lux, confer...
