Abstract excerpt
In Streptomyces griseus, A-factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone) acts as a chemical signalling molecule that triggers morphological differentiation and secondary metabolism. A transcriptional activator, AdpA, in the A-factor regulatory cascade switches on a number of genes required for both processes, thus forming an AdpA regulon. amfR encoding a regulatory protein similar to response...
