New Kid on the Block: LmbU Expands the Repertoire of Specialized Metabolic Regulators in Streptomyces

Journal of Bacteriology
Kou-San JuMarie A Elliot

Abstract

Streptomyces has an extensive natural product repertoire, including most of the naturally derived antibiotics. Understanding the control of natural product biosynthesis is central to antibiotic discovery and production optimization. Here, Hou et al. (J. Bacteriol. 200:00447-17, 2018, https://doi.org/10.1128/JB.00447-17) report the identification and characterization of a novel regulator-LmbU-that functions primarily as an activator of lincomycin production in Streptomyces lincolnensis Importantly, members of this new regulator family are associated with natural product biosynthetic clusters throughout the streptomycetes and their actinomycete relatives.

Antifungals (ASM)

An antifungal, also known as an antimycotic medication, is a pharmaceutical fungicide or fungistatic used to treat and prevent mycosis such as athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, cryptococcal meningitis, and others. Discover the latest research on antifungals here.

Aminoglycosides

Aminoglycoside is a medicinal and bacteriologic category of traditional Gram-negative antibacterial medications that inhibit protein synthesis and contain as a portion of the molecule an amino-modified glycoside. Discover the latest research on aminoglycoside here.
