The overlapping angB and angG genes are encoded within the trans-acting factor region of the virulence plasmid in Vibrio anguillarum: essential role in siderophore biosynthesis.

Abstract excerpt

Products encoded in the trans-acting factor (TAF) region are necessary for the biosynthesis of anguibactin and for maximal expression of iron transport and biosynthesis genes in the plasmid-encoded iron-scavenging system of Vibrio anguillarum. Here we identify angB, a locus located in the TAF region, which encodes products essential for anguibactin biosynthesis. We demonstrate that a 287-amino-acid polypeptide,...
