The Streptomyces coelicolor absB gene encodes an RNase III family endoribonuclease and is normally essential for antibiotic biosynthesis. Here we report that AbsB controls its own expression by sequentially and site specifically cleaving stem-loop segments of its polycistronic transcript. Our results demonstrate a ribonucleolytic regulatory role for AbsB in vivo.
天蓝色链霉菌的absB基因编码一种核糖核酸酶III家族的内切核糖核酸酶,通常对抗生素生物合成至关重要。在此,我们报道AbsB通过顺序且位点特异性地切割其多顺反子转录本的茎环片段来控制自身表达。我们的结果证明了AbsB在体内具有核糖核酸酶解调控作用。
