Abstract excerpt
Streptomyces coelicolor produces an extracellular protease inhibitor protein, STI (Streptomyces trypsin inhibitor). We show that post-growth elimination of STI is needed for colonies to develop aerial mycelium efficiently. Inactivation of STI, and thus the normal progression of colony development, at least partly involves an extracellular protease specified by gene SCO5913. Two-hybrid analysis identified two...
