    Notes: Summary We have isolated and studied the organization ofStreptomyces hygroscopicus genes responsible for the biosynthesis of the antibiotic herbicide bialaphos. Bialaphos production genes were cloned from genomic DNA using a plasmid vector (pIJ702). Three plasmids were isolated which restored productivity toS. hygroscopicus mutants blocked at different steps of the biosynthetic pathway. Subcloning experiments using other nonproducing mutants showed that four additional bialaphos production genes were also contained on these plasmids. A gene conferring resistance to bialaphos, which was independently cloned using the plasmid vector pIJ61, and an antibiotic-sensitive host (S. lividans), was also linked to the production genes. Cosmids were isolated which defined the location of these genes in a 16 kb cluster.

    Notes: Abstract In Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), synthesis of the groES, groES-groEL1 and groEL2 transcripts is induced either by heat shock or by undefined physiological stress signals present at a certain stage of growth. Under all conditions tested, transcription of groES and groES-groEL1 orginated from a unique start site upstream of groES, whereas transcription of groEL2 originated from a unique site upstream of groEL2. RNA polymerase isolated either from heat-shocked or control mycelia allowed in vitro transcription from the P1 promoter of groES/EL1 and the P2 promoter of groEL2. The fact that these two RNA polymerase preparations both initiated transcription with equal efficiency from the same sites suggested that a heat shock-specific σ factor is not responsible for the temperature-induced transcription of groE genes. Instead, regulation of these genes from vegetative-type promoters may be effected by a DNA-binding protein observed in gel retardation assays, which recognizes a motif found in the groE and dnaK promoter regions of many prokaryotic genes.

    Notes: Multivariate statistical comparisons of two-dimensional protein (2-D) gel patterns were used for the first time to define stages of a biological developmental system. The differentiating procaryote, Streptomyces coelicolor, was radiolabeled in liquid cultures at 16 intervals during development, and radioactive proteins were separated and quantified on 2-D gels. Cluster, principal component, and correlation analyses classified these gel patterns into four distinct groups, each reflecting a pattern of gene expression specific for a stage of development. These studies focused our attention on a phase of arrested growth as a key regulatory transition leading to secondary metabolism and a phase of renewed growth. Proteins whose synthesis was switched on or off during the “transitional” phase (some 21 and 18, respectively) were identified and will be the focus of future studies designed to identify their physiological or regulatory function.
