The Streptomyces coelicolor developmental transcription factor sigmaBldN is synthesized as a proprotein.
bldN is one of a set of genes required for the formation of specialized, spore-bearing aerial hyphae during differentiation in the mycelial bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. Previous analysis (M. J. Bibb et al., J. Bacteriol. 182:4606-4616, 2000) showed that bldN encodes a member of the extracytoplasmic function subfamily of RNA polymerase sigma factors and that translation from the most stron...
متن کاملA rare leucine codon in adpA is implicated in the morphological defect of bldA mutants of Streptomyces coelicolor.
Streptomycetes are mycelial bacteria that produce sporulating aerial hyphae on solid media. Bald (bld) mutants fail to form aerial mycelium under at least some conditions. bldA encodes the only tRNA species able to read the leucine codon UUA efficiently, implying the involvement of a TTA-containing gene in initiating aerial growth. One candidate for such a gene was bldH, because the bldH109 mut...
متن کاملThe chaplins: a family of hydrophobic cell-surface proteins involved in aerial mycelium formation in Streptomyces coelicolor.
The filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor differentiates by forming specialized, spore-bearing aerial hyphae that grow into the air. Using microarrays, we identified genes that are down-regulated in a mutant unable to erect aerial hyphae. Through this route, we identified a previously unknown layer of aerial mycelium surface proteins (the "chaplins"). The chaplins share a hydrophobic do...

BldD is a transcription factor required for aerial hyphae formation in the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. Three targets of BldD regulation were discovered by a number of means, including examination of bld gene interdependence, selective enrichment of chromosomal DNA fragments bound by BldD and searching the promoter regions of known developmental genes for matches to a previous...
متن کاملFunction and redundancy of the chaplin cell surface proteins in aerial hypha formation, rodlet assembly, and viability in Streptomyces coelicolor.
The chaplins are a family of eight secreted proteins that are critical for raising aerial hyphae in Streptomyces coelicolor. These eight chaplins can be separated into two main groups: the long chaplins (ChpA to -C) and the short chaplins (ChpD to -H). The short chaplins can be further subdivided on the basis of their abilities to form intramolecular disulfide bonds: ChpD, -F, -G, and -H contai...
