Abstract excerpt
Virginiae butanolide (VB) is a member of the gamma-butyrolactone autoregulators and triggers the production of streptogramin antibiotics virginiamycin M1 and S in Streptomyces virginiae. A VB biosynthetic gene (barS2) was localized in a 10-kb regulatory island which controls the virginiamycin biosynthesis/resistance of S. virginiae, and analyzed by gene disruption/complementation. The barS2 gene is flanked by...
