چکیده
Enger, M. D. (North Dakota State University, Fargo), and B. P. Sleeper. Multiple cellulase system from Streptomyces antibioticus. J. Bacteriol. 89:23-27. 1965.-Starch-block zone electrophoresis was used to isolate five electrophoretically distinct, active cellulolytic components (I to V) from the crude extracellular cellulase system of Streptomyces antibioticus (strain C2A). Agar diffusion precipitin analyses demonstrated the immunological identity of components I, II, and III, and the nonidentity of IV and V with each other and with I to III. Kinetic studies of the purified enzymes showed a sharp decrease in the viscosity of the substrate, carboxymethylcellulose, with only a small increase in reducing sugars. These results indicated that all five enzymes are endocellulases.

Molecular cloning and in vitro expression of a silent phenoxazinone synthase gene from Streptomyces lividans.
Phenoxazinone synthase (PHS) catalyzes a step in actinomycin D biosynthesis in Streptomyces antibioticus. Two sequences from Streptomyces lividans that hybridize to the phs gene of S. antibioticus have been cloned in Escherichia coli K-12 using the plasmid pBR322. Although there was some similarity in the restriction maps of the two cloned fragments, neither insert appeared to be a direct subse...
متن کاملCloning and expression of the tyrosinase gene from Streptomyces antibioticus in Streptomyces lividans.
In two separate studies a BclI-generated DNA fragment coding for the enzyme tyrosinase, responsible for melanin synthesis, was cloned from Streptomyces antibioticus DNA into two SLP1.2-based plasmid vectors (pIJ37 and pIJ41) to generate the hybrid plasmids, designated pIJ700 and pIJ701, using S. lividans 66 as the host. The fragment (1.55 kb) was subcloned into the multicopy plasmid pIJ350 (whi...
متن کاملOrganization and expression of the polynucleotide phosphorylase gene (pnp) of Streptomyces: Processing of pnp transcripts in Streptomyces antibioticus.
We have examined the expression of pnp encoding the 3'-5'-exoribonuclease, polynucleotide phosphorylase, in Streptomyces antibioticus. We show that the rpsO-pnp operon is transcribed from at least two promoters, the first producing a readthrough transcript that includes both pnp and the gene for ribosomal protein S15 (rpsO) and a second, Ppnp, located in the rpsO-pnp intergenic region. Unlike t...
متن کاملGenetic interrelations in the actinomycin biosynthetic gene clusters of Streptomyces antibioticus IMRU 3720 and Streptomyces chrysomallus ATCC11523, producers of actinomycin X and actinomycin C
Sequencing the actinomycin (acm) biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces antibioticus IMRU 3720, which produces actinomycin X (Acm X), revealed 20 genes organized into a highly similar framework as in the bi-armed acm C biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces chrysomallus but without an attached additional extra arm of orthologues as in the latter. Curiously, the extra arm of the S. chrysom...
متن کاملSensitivity of transcription by purified Streptomyces antibioticus RNA polymerase to actinomycin.
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase has been purified 400-fold from 48 hr old, actinomycin producing cells of Streptomyces antibioticus. Sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the purified 5. antibioticus polymerase reveals the presence of bands corresponding to the 8, 8' and Q subunits of Escherichia coli polymerase, but no o subunit. The purified 2. antibioticus polymerafis als...
