botR gene from C. botulinum

botR encodes an alternative sigma factor associated with the expression of C. botulinum neurotoxin production genes.

Usage and Biology

BotR regulates the the expression of boutlinum neruotoxin and non-toxic associated proteins during the late exponential and early stationary growth phases. We have integrated botR into the genome of C. sporogenes to generate a reporter strain to validate the concept of using suitable reporters to predict the production of botulinum neurotoxin following food manufacturing processes.

Characterisation

This basic part was used in many experiments to produce the sigma factor, responsible for the the expression of acetone, GusA or FAST when placed downstream of a BoTR-activated promoter. We made three BotR-expression modules comprising of the botR sigma factor gene under the control of the native botR promoter, an inducible system and one with no promoter. See our results page for more information.
