Abstract excerpt
An ORF located immediately downstream of glnR gene was cloned from Amycolatopsis mediterranei U32 and was named lh3. Sequence analysis revealed that lh3 encodes a putative acetyltransferase, which shows high amino acid sequence similarities to the mycothiol synthase (MshD) from other actinomycetes. For functional analysis, mutation in lh3 gene was generated by gene replacement with an apramycin resistance gene...
