WD-repeat protein encoding genes among prokaryotes of the Streptomyces genus.
Southern hybridization with probes designed for detection of WD-repeats coding sequences gave positive results in 21 streptomycete strains indicating that WD-repeats encoding genes are massively spread among streptomycetes. One of them, the wdlA gene of Streptomyces lincolnensis, codes for a 971 amino acid protein with seven WD-repeats in its C-terminus, two transmembrane domains and an ATP/GTP binding site upstream of the WD-repeat region.
