Environmental Regulation of Toxin Production in <i>Bacillus anthracis</i>

2025-10-07

Abstract excerpt

Pathogenic Bacillus anthracis strains carry two plasmids - pX01, which encodes a tripartite protein exotoxin complex (PA, LF, and EF); and pX02, which encodes a poly-D-gamma-glutamic acid capsule. A multidomain transcription factor, AtxA, regulates the expression of these virulence genes. AtxA has two DNA-binding Helix-Turn-Helix (HTH) domains, two phosphoenolpyruvate:carbohydrate phosphotransferase system regula...
