Members of the genus Streptomyces are soil bacteria responsible for the production of about 70% of all known antibiotics. As such these organisms are of great industrial importance and are the subject of intensive research aimed at trying to elucidate the regulatory pathways responsible for the onset of antibiotic production. My research interests are in global regulation of antibiotic production and morphological differentiation in Streptomyces. Current research projects include: investigation of the role of a rare codon and its cognate tRNA in global regulation of the onset of both antibiotic production and differentiation; studies aimed at understanding the function of the bldD gene product (a DNA-binding protein) and the nature of its targets; investigation of the bldG locus, which appears to encode two proteins, an anti-anti-sigma factor and an anti-sigma factor, that regulate both antibiotic production and differentiation; and investigation of a putative RNA helicase that is divergently transcribed from, and coordinately expressed along with, bldG. |
