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. Our group has recently utlised this regulatory system in order to generate a tightly regulate inducible system for CRISPR-Cas mutagenesis in the genus Clostridium (Cañadas et al., 2019). 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 our volatile and FAST reporter genes in an inducible fashion. Doing so helps us fulfil our goal of generating reporter strains for the prediction of botulinum neurotoxin production following food manufacture.
