Chromosomal deletion and rearrangement in Streptomyces glaucescens.
The Streptomyces glaucescens genome frequently undergoes gross genomic rearrangement events which result in the deletion of extremely large segments of chromosomal DNA. The structure and origin of the DNA forming the novel junctions arising from five of these deletion events are described. Only one junction proved to be the result of a relatively simple event; the remainder were more complex, w...
متن کاملAlbino mutants of Streptomyces glaucescens tyrosinase.
Site-directed mutagenesis was used to determine the functional role of several residues of Streptomyces glaucescens tyrosinase. Replacement of His-37, -53, -193 or -215 by glutamine yields albino phenotypes, as determined by expression on melanin-indicator plates. The purified mutant proteins display no detectable oxy-enzyme and increased Cu lability at the binuclear active site. The carbonyl d...
متن کاملIsolation of tetracenomycin C-nonproducing Streptomyces glaucescens mutants.
We analyzed the properties of tetracenomycin C (TcmC)-nonproducing mutants of Streptomyces glaucescens to establish the nature of pathway intermediates and to provide some information about the genetics of antitumor anthracycline antibiotic production. Using cosynthesis properties and metabolite accumulation data, we classified a collection of 34 TcmC-nonproducing strains into seven different g...
متن کاملMutants blocked in streptomycin production in Streptomyces griseus - the role of A-factor.
Ninety-five streptomycin-nonproducing mutants derived from Streptomyces griseus FT-1 by UV-irradiation could be classified into major two classes by cosynthesis tests. Class I mutants (42 strains) were mutants blocked in the pathway of streptomycin biosynthesis while class II mutants (49 strains) required a factor for streptomycin biosynthesis which was excreted by the parental or class I mutan...
متن کاملTemperature-sensitive mutants of the Streptomyces plasmid pIJ702.
DNA from the Streptomyces plasmid pIJ702 was mutagenized in vitro using hydroxylamine and transformed into Streptomyces lividans. One plasmid with temperature-sensitive replication (pMT660) and one plasmid with a temperature-sensitive tyrosinase (pMT661) were isolated. The plasmid pMT661 contains a novel PstI restriction endonuclease site within the tyrosinase gene.
