Abstract excerpt
The biosynthetic pathway of actinorhodin in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) has been studied for decades as a model system of type II polyketide biosynthesis. The actinorhodin biosynthetic gene cluster includes a gene, actVI-orfA, that encodes a protein that belongs to the nuclear transport factor-2-like (NTF-2-like) superfamily. The function of this ActVI-ORFA protein has been a long-standing question in this...
