FK506 biosynthesis is regulated by two positive regulatory elements in Streptomyces tsukubaensis
19 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: FK506 (Tacrolimus) is an important immunosuppressant, produced by industrial biosynthetic processes using various Streptomyces species. Considering the complex structure of FK506, it is reasonable to expect complex regulatory networks controlling its biosynthesis. Regulatory elements, present in gene clusters can have a profound influence on the final yield of target product and can play an important...
