Abstract excerpt
In Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), deletion of relA or a specific mutation in rplK ( relC) results in an inability to synthesize ppGpp (guanosine 5'-diphosphate 3'-diphosphate) and impairs production of actinorhodin. We have found that certain rifampicin-resistant ( rif) mutants isolated from either relA or relC strains regain the ability to produce actinorhodin at the same level as the wild-type strain, although...
