BgaR is the transcriptional regulator associated with the BgaR-BgaL lactose inducible system found naturally on the genome of <i>C. perfringens</i>. Our group has recently utlised this regulatory system in order to generate a tightly regulate inducible system for CRISPR-Cas mutagenesis in the genus <i>Clostridium</i> (Cañadas et al., 2019). In our project, we use <i>bgaR</i> as part of the entire regulatory unit comprising <i>bgaR</i>, and its divergent promoter P<i>bgaR</i> -P<i>bgaL</i>  with their associated 5’-UTR and RBS regions (hyperlinks and descriptions) to drive the expression of our volatile and FAST reporter genes in an inducible fashion.

bgaR gene from C. perfringens

Transcriptional regulator bgaR associated with a lactose inducible system from C. perfringens


Usage and Biology

BgaR is the transcriptional regulator associated with the BgaR-BgaL lactose inducible system found naturally on the genome of C. perfringens. In our project, we use bgaR as part of the entire regulatory unit comprising bgaR, and its divergent promoter PbgaR -PbgaL with their associated 5’-UTR and RBS regions (hyperlinks and descriptions) to drive the expression of botR (BBa_K2992002) in the genome of C. sporogenes. This, in turn, leads to expression of our chosen reporter genes in an inducible fashion.

Characterisation

The Plac system is an inducible promoter system utilizing the lactose operon from C. Perfringens. This allowed us to test the maximum and minimum reporter expression range. See our results page for more information.
