Abstract excerpt
The tlrB gene, which confers inducible resistance to a range of macrolide antibiotics including biosynthetic precursors of tylosin, was isolated and sequenced. In the genome of Streptomyces fradiae, it lies between pbp, which encodes a putative penicillin-binding protein, and tylN, encoding a glycosyltransferase involved in tylosin biosynthesis. The TlrB protein was produced in E. coli as a fusion to MalE. The...
