Assessment of a transcriptional terminator is present in the region 298–397. RT-PCR amplification of inter-cistronic region between orfX and ltxC in RhAa3, RhAa-ltxP530 and RhAa-ltxP298-397 with increasing concentrations of cDNA are shown as follows. Lane 1. 1 ng; Lane 2. 2 ng; Lane 3. 4 ng; Lane. 4 5 ng; Lane. 5 7.5 ng and Lane. 6 10 ng. Note that a clear signal was obtained from the 5 ng template in RhAa-ltxP298-397 (A). qRT-PCR shows significant increase in ltxC expression as compared to orfX expression in RhAa-ltxP298-397 further indicating a potential weak terminator, a negative regulatory element, within the region 298–397. Results are means ± SD for triplicate cultures normalized to 5S rRNA. The significant fold change was calculated by One-way ANOVA test. * indicates P < 0.001 ± SD with Tukey’s multiple comparison post-hoc test (B).
