Elucidating the correlation between the number of TTTTGAT heptamer repeats and cholera toxin promoter activity in <i>Vibrio cholerae</i> O1 pandemic strains
2021-05-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> A complex regulatory cascade controls expression of the cholera toxin genes ( ctxAB ) in Vibrio cholerae ; which eventually leads to choleragen (CT) production and secretion, resulting in rice watery diarrhoea. The cholera toxin promoter (P ctxAB ) contains a series of heptad repeats (5’-TTTTGAT-3’); which have been previously shown to play crucial role in ctxAB transcriptional regulation by...
