چکیده

Cotransduction analysis in Streptomyces venezuelae with the generalized transducing phage SV1 showed that several pairs of likely analogs of markers that are adjacent on the conjugational linkage map of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) were cotransducible and therefore physically close together. This supports the contention that taxonomically distinct "species" of Streptomyces are genetically closely related.

The pdx genetic marker adjacent to the chloramphenicol biosynthesis gene cluster in Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230: functional characterization.

The pdx-4 mutation in Streptomyces venezuelae ISP5230 confers a growth requirement for pyridoxal (pdx) and is a marker for the genetically mapped cluster of genes associated with chloramphenicol biosynthesis. A gene regulating salvage synthesis of vitamin B6 cofactors in S. venezuelae was cloned by transforming a pdx-4 mutant host with the plasmid vector pDQ101 carrying a library of wild-type g...

A novel Streptomyces spp. integration vector derived from the S. venezuelae phage, SV1

BACKGROUND Integrating vectors based on the int/attP loci of temperate phages are convenient and used widely, particularly for cloning genes in Streptomyces spp. RESULTS We have constructed and tested a novel integrating vector based on g27, encoding integrase, and attP site from the phage, SV1. This plasmid, pBF3 integrates efficiently in S. coelicolor and S. lividans but surprisingly fails ...

A Streptomyces coelicolor host for the heterologous expression of Type III polyketide synthase genes

BACKGROUND Recent advances in genome sequencing, combined with bioinformatic analysis, has led to the identification of numerous novel natural product gene clusters, particularly in actinomycetes of terrestrial and marine origin. Many of these gene clusters encode uncharacterised Type III polyketide synthases. To facilitate the study of these genes and their potentially novel products, we set o...

The genetic location of prophage on the chromosome of Streptomyces coelicolor.

HE genetic structure of Streptomyces coelicolor A3 (2), the only strain among the actinomycetes for which a genetic map has been constructed, was studied in detail by HOPWOOD (1967) and SERMONTI (1 969). For genetic analysis, HOPWOOD and SERMONTI utilized the capacity of mutant strains of A3 (2) to undergo genetic recombination. To enlarge the possibilities of genetic analysis of the actinomyce...

The MtrAB two-component system controls antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)

MtrAB is a highly conserved two-component system implicated in the regulation of cell division in the Actinobacteria. It coordinates DNA replication with cell division in the unicellular Mycobacterium tuberculosis and links antibiotic production to sporulation in the filamentous Streptomyces venezuelae. Chloramphenicol biosynthesis is directly regulated by MtrA in S. venezuelae and deletion of ...
