The marine dinoflagellate Alexandrium catenella (Group I) produces saxitoxins (STXs) in marine environments, causing paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP). The toxins are synthesized by STXs biosynthesis genes (sxt); of them, sxtA and sxtG are considered the most essential. The promoter region and 3'-untranslated region (3'-UTR) are known to regulate gene transcription; however, they have not been sufficiently elucidated in the sxt genes. Herein, we determined and characterized the genomic DNA sequence of the proximal regions of sxtA and sxtG in A. catenella. The promoter regions of sxtA and sxt...
