Abstract excerpt
A-factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone) triggers morphological development and secondary metabolism in Streptomyces griseus. A transcriptional activator (AdpA) in the A-factor regulatory cascade switches on a number of genes required for both processes. AdBS11 was identified in a library of the DNA fragments that are bound by AdpA and mapped upstream of ssgA, which is essential for septum...
