The transcription of bradyzoite genes in <i>Toxoplasma gondii</i> is controlled by autonomous promoter elements
22 Apr 2008
Abstract excerpt
Experimental evidence suggests that apicomplexan parasites possess bipartite promoters with basal and regulated cis-elements similar to other eukaryotes. Using a dual luciferase model adapted for recombinational cloning and use in Toxoplasma gondii, we show that genomic regions flanking 16 parasite genes, which encompass examples of constitutive and tachyzoite- and bradyzoite-specific genes, are able to reproduce...
