Abstract excerpt
In Streptomyces coelicolor, the regular and abundant elongation factor (EF)-Tu1 is encoded by tuf1, while the actual function of the highly divergent tuf3 gene product is not yet known. Expression of the latter could so far only be detected on the transcriptional level under stress conditions. In this paper we demonstrate the presence of low levels of EF-Tu3 in strains of the J1501 lineage. Enhanced expression...
