Regulation of toxin and bacteriocin gene expression in <i>Clostridium</i> by interchangeable RNA polymerase sigma factors

5 Apr 2006

Abstract excerpt

The production of major extracellular toxins by pathogenic strains of Clostridium botulinum, Clostridium tetani and Clostridium difficile, and a bacteriocin by Clostridium perfringens is dependent on a related group of RNA polymerase sigma-factors. These sigma-factors (BotR, TetR, TcdR and UviA) were shown to be sufficiently similar that they could substitute for one another in in vitro DNA binding and run-off...
