5-UTR containing RBS for botR gene from C. botulinum

5’-UTR containing RBS region for botR gene in C. botulinum

Usage and Biology

The native 5’-UTR containing the RBS is found naturally upstream of botR in C. botulinum. BotR is an alternative sigma factor involved in the positive regulation of botulinum neurotoxin and associated genes. In our project, we use PbotR to drive the expression of botR ([https://parts.igem.org/Part:BBa_K2992002 BBa_K2992002) which in turn, regulates the production of our volatile reporter genes which we have placed under the control of neurotoxin and neurotoxin-associated promoters (add hyperlinks). Doing so allows us to link volatile reporter production with neurotoxin production following food manufacturing processes.
