Abstract excerpt
The absA locus in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was identified because mutations in it uncoupled sporulation from antibiotic synthesis: absA mutants failed to produce any of the four antibiotics characteristic of S. coelicolor. These mutants are now shown to contain point mutations in the absA1 gene which encodes the histidine kinase sensor-transmitter protein of a two-component signalling system. The absA1...
