Abstract excerpt
Gougerotin is a peptidyl nucleoside antibiotic. It functions as a specific inhibitor of protein synthesis by binding ribosomal peptidyl transferase and exhibits a broad spectrum of biological activities. gouR, situated in the gougerotin biosynthetic gene cluster, encodes a TetR family transcriptional regulatory protein. Gene disruption and genetic complementation revealed that gouR plays an important role in the...
