Abstract excerpt
In Streptomyces coelicolor bldA encodes the principal leucyl tRNA for translation of UUA codons and controls pigmented antibiotic production by the presence of TTA codons in the genes encoding the pathway-specific activators of actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin biosynthesis. In Streptomyces clavuligerus the gene encoding the pathway-specific activator of both cephamycin C and clavulanic acid production, ccaR,...
