Abstract excerpt
Our previous studies revealed that the srrX and srrA genes carried on the large linear plasmid pSLA2-L constitute a gamma-butyrolactone-receptor system in Streptomyces rochei. Extensive transcriptional analysis has now showed that the Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory protein gene srrY, which is also carried on pSLA2-L, is a target of the receptor/repressor SrrA and plays a central role in lankacidin and...
