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 (Plac) found naturally on the genome of C. perfringens. The Plac system is comprised of the divergent PbgaR-PbgaL promoter and associated 5’-UTRs in conjunction with their cognate transcriptional regulator bgaR. The Plac system was used to drive lactose-dependent expression of botR (BBa_K2992002), which in turn, regulates the production of our reporter genes which we have placed under the control of a BotR-activated promoter (BBa_K2992028, BBa_K2992029, BBa_K2992036).

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, informing the design of our electornic nose. See our results page for more information. In our project, the Plac system was used to drive lactose-dependent expression of botR (BBa_K2992002) which in turn, regulates the production of our reporter genes which we have placed under the control of a BotR-activated promoter (BBa_K2992028, BBa_K2992029, BBa_K2992036).
