title: The bldA-encoded tRNA is poorly expressed in the bldI mutant of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
abstract: The bldA gene, encoding a leucyl tRNA recognizing the UUA codon, is expressed at significantly lower levels in the bldI mutant, Streptomyces coelicolor J703, than in the parent S. coelicolor A3(2). Expression of a TTA-containing reporter gene was reduced in the bldI mutant, as was the mature, 87 nucleotide, form of the bldA-encoded tRNA. This reduced level of the tRNA was also seen when the bldA gene was introduced on a high-copy-number plasmid into the bldI mutant, suggesting that maximal bldA expression may require a bldI-dependent promoter.
