Transcriptional response to overexpressing Vibrio Seventh Pandemic -II island encoded genes
Purpose: to characterize the regulatory targets of an AraC-like transcriptional regulator (VC0513) encoded on the Vibrio Seventh Pandemic Island -II (VSP-II) in V. cholerae O1 El Tor N16961 Methods: RNA was isolated from a wild-type N16961 carrying an IPTG-inducible copy of vc0513, vc0515, or an empty vector control Results: vc0513 induction significantly increased expression of other VSP-II encoded genes relative to the empty vector control Conclusions: our study represents the first analysis of a transcriptional regulator encoded on the VSP-II island Overall design: Examination of transcript profiles of vc0513 or vc0515 expressing V. cholerae relative to an empty vector control
