Article Synopsis
- DNA-binding transcription factors, like KojR, are proteins that attach to specific DNA sequences to control gene expression, specifically in kojic acid metabolism.
- The study employed techniques like gSELEX-Seq and RNA-Seq to identify KojR-associated genes and confirmed that KojR binds preferentially to a specific DNA sequence.
- Additionally, KojR is suggested to regulate genes related to the carbon metabolic pathway, emphasizing its significant role in carbon metabolism in the organism studied.
Theileria equi, an intraerythrocytic protozoan parasite, causes equine piroplasmosis, a disease which negatively impacts the global horse industry. Genetic manipulation is one of the research tools under development as a control method for protozoan parasites, but this technique needs to be established for T. equi.
