Abstract excerpt
Expression of tyrosinase in Streptomyces requires functional MelC1 protein, which is postulated to transfer copper to apotyrosinase. We have previously isolated a mutant of Streptomyces lividans, HT32, that phenotypically suppressed mutations in cloned melC1 (H.-C. Tseng and C. W. Chen, in preparation). Plasmid pLUS132, containing an ATG to ATA transition at the initiation codon of melC1, was used for cloning the...
