Inhalt
- Background
- Results
- In silico analysis for the identification of a transcriptional regulator of the acarbose biosynthetic gene cluster and construction of a deletion mutant
- Establishment of whole genome microarrays for Actinoplanes sp. SE50/110 and application on a ΔacrC deletion mutant
- The transcription of the genes acbD and acbE is regulated by the repressor AcrC
- AcrC has an effect on the acarbose production
- The intergenic region between acbE and acbD features a binding site for AcrC
- Discussion
- Genetic engineering technologies and whole genome microarrays were established to characterize the transcription factor AcrC
- AcrC is the missing repressor of the acarbose biosynthetic gene cluster
- Conclusions
- Methods
- Strains, media and reagents
