Description
Pseudomonas putida possesses a two-component regulatory system (TCS) which can sense changes in the toluene level of the environment. TodS and TodT proteins control the expression of genes involved in the degradation of toluene, benzene, and ethylbenzene via the toluene dioxygenase pathway. The catabolic genes of the toluene dioxygenase pathway are transcribed from a single promoter termed Ptod, located upstream from the todX gene. The TodS/TodT TCS mediate Ptod in response to toluene and other aromatic hydrocarbons. Ptod is activated once the response regulator TodT is phosphorylated by the TodS sensor kinase in response to pathway substrates.

Notes
We added restriction digestion sites to ensure compliance with Assembly Standard 10. We also modified the stop codon to TAA.
