Abstract excerpt
In Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), bldA mutants are conditionally defective in aerial mycelium formation and fail to synthesize all four antibiotics produced by bldA+ strains. Previous studies showed that bldA specifies the tRNA for the rarely used leucine codon UUA. Here we describe experiments examining the abundance in a bldA mutant of a transcript involved in antibiotic production. With use of a...
