An oligopeptide permease responsible for the import of an extracellular signal governing aerial mycelium formation in Streptomyces coelicolor.

Abstract excerpt

Morphological differentiation in the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor is believed to involve a mechanism of extracellular signalling that culminates with the formation of an aerial mycelium. We have identified a gene cluster designated bldK in which insertional and deletion mutations cause a block in aerial mycelium formation. Extracellular complementation experiments indicate that bldK defines a...
