RESUMO

We have demonstrated that the bldB gene of Streptomyces coelicolor is required for the formation of aerial hyphae and the synthesis of antibiotics. We also found that BldB forms a higher-order complex (most likely a dimer) and that amino acid residues 20 to 78 are important for this interaction. This region is conserved in the BldB family, suggesting that dimer formation may be a common feature of these proteins.
