We have demonstrated that the bldB gene of Streptomyces coelicolor is required for the formation of aerial hyphae and the synthesis of antibiotics. We also found that BldB forms a higher-order complex (most likely a dimer) and that amino acid residues 20 to 78 are important for this interaction. This region is conserved in the BldB family, suggesting that dimer formation may be a common feature of these proteins.
我们已经证明,天蓝色链霉菌的bldB基因是气生菌丝形成和抗生素合成所必需的。我们还发现,BldB形成一种高阶复合物(很可能是二聚体),并且20至78位氨基酸残基对于这种相互作用很重要。该区域在BldB家族中是保守的,这表明二聚体形成可能是这些蛋白质的一个共同特征。
