Cloning of a gene from Streptomyces species complementing argG mutations.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A gene that complements argG mutations was cloned from Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans by using pIJ702 as a vector. The recombinant plasmid pMCP25 complemented argG mutations of S. lividans and S. coelicolor. The inserted DNA of pMCP25 was able to hybridize with argG+ strains of S. lividans, S. coelicolor, S. lavendulae and S. alboniger but not with argG mutants of these strains.

Construction of Recombinant Vectors Containing Clavulanic Acid Antibiotic Regulatory Gene, claR, Isolated of Streptomyces clavuligerus Strains
The claR of Streptomyces clavuligerus in the clavulanic acid gene cluster encodes a transcriptional regulator that controls clavulanic acid biosynthesis. The main goal of this study was isolation and molecular detection of the claR gene and its cloning in the Streptomyces specific vector (pMA:: hyg). By cinsideration of the claR gene’s start codon, the specific primers were designed. After geno...
متن کاملA cloned regulatory gene of Streptomyces lividans can suppress the pigment deficiency phenotype of different developmental mutants.
We report here the cloning of a Streptomyces lividans gene that when introduced on a multicopy plasmid vector reversed the pigment deficiency phenotype of several distinct mutants blocked in development, pigment production, or both. Although this gene was shown by restriction enzyme analysis to be similar to a previously cloned afsB-complementing gene of Streptomyces coelicolor, we show that it...

A cluster of genes argCJBDRGH containing most of the arginine biosynthesis genes has been found in Streptomyces clavuligerus after sequencing a 8.3 kb DNA region containing overlapping sequences of two DNA fragments known to contain arginine biosynthesis genes. Subcloning, complementation of E. coli arginine auxotrophic strains and enzymatic assays confirmed the identity of each gene. S1 nuclea...

A gene (pabB) encoding the aminase activity of p-aminobenzoate (PABA) synthase in Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis was cloned in pIJ41 and expressed in Streptomyces lividans strains defective in PABA biosynthesis. Expression of the gene was associated with a 1.2 kb deletion between the aph promoter and the cloning site in pIJ41. Subcloning in pBR322 and expression in Escherichia coli AB3295 of ...
متن کاملIn vitro antifungal activities of Actinomyces species isolated from soil samples against Trichophyton mentagrophytes
Background and Purpose: Cutaneous infections arise from a homogeneous group of keratinophilic fungi, known as dermatophytes. Since these pathogenic dermatophytes are eukaryotes in nature, use of chemical antifungal agents for treatment may affect the host tissue cells. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the antifungal activity of Actinomyces species against Trichophyton mentagrophytes (abbrevi...
