PntnH

Promoter region for the non-toxic non-haemagglutinin component of the neurotoxin gene cluster in Clostridum botulinum.

Usage and Biology

Pntnh is found upstream of the 5'-UTR and RBS of the non-toxic non-haemagglutinin component (ntnh) of the neurotoxin gene cluster in C. botulinum. This promoter was used to drive expression of our chosen reporter genes of interest. Doing so, allowed us to link BotR expression with the transcriptional activation of our reporter genes.

Characterisation

This basic part was used for the assembly of our composite parts and characterised using 3 difference reporters: GusA (BBa_K2992039), FAST (BBa_K2992044) and acetone (BBa_K2992036 ). More information can be found on our Results Page.

Characterisation of this promoter (comprising parts BBa_K2992001 and BBa_K2992015) against Pfdx, Pthl and PbotR using FAST fluorescent assay, showed that Pntnh is a medium-strength promoter in E.coli, while being very weak in C.sporogenes (only slightly stronger than the promoterless control), as expected in the absence of BotR.
