Interplay between Nucleoid-Associated Proteins and Transcription Factors in Controlling Specialized Metabolism in Streptomyces

Abstract excerpt

are the source of many clinically prescribed antibiotics. However, many clusters are not expressed in the laboratory due to repression by the nucleoid-associated protein Lsr2. Understanding how Lsr2 represses cluster expression, and how repression can be alleviated, is key to accessing the metabolic potential of these bacteria. Using the chloramphenicol biosynthetic cluster from Streptomyces venezuelae as a...
