Abstract excerpt
The actinorhodin biosynthetic gene (act) cluster in Streptomyces coelicolor carries a functionally unknown gene, actVI-ORFA. We have characterized an ActVI-ORFA disruptant by functional complementation and reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction analysis of the expression profiles of the act genes. Introduction of the functional actVI-ORFA gene into the disruptant restored actinorhodin production to an...
