title: Transcriptional mapping of the promoter of the aminoglycoside acetyltransferase gene (aacC9) of neomycin-producing Micromonospora chalcea.
abstract: We have studied the promoter of the gene encoding aminoglycoside acetyltransferase (aacC9) in neomycin-producing Micromonospora chalcea. S1 nuclease mapping showed that the transcription initiation point of this gene is at the translation start point, with no evidence of a conventional ribosome-binding site. The aac of paromycin-producing Streptomyces rimosus forma paromomycinus shows the same characteristic; there is no homology in the promoter regions of the two genes, whereas the coding sequences are very similar.
