Application

EC Number Application Comment Organism
7.5.2.1 synthesis overexpression of malEFG-a improves the utilization rate of starch, and thereby enhances avermectin production, which is useful for the improvement of commercial antibiotic production using starch as the main carbon source in the fermentation process Streptomyces avermitilis

Cloned(Commentary)

EC Number Cloned (Comment) Organism
7.5.2.1 genes malEFG-a, encoding the maltose ABC transporter system, transcriptional analysis of malE-a by RT-PCR, and malEFG-a gene replacement cloning Streptomyces avermitilis

Protein Variants

EC Number Protein Variants Comment Organism
7.5.2.1 additional information a malEFG-a deletion mutant is unable to grow in a minimal medium with maltose as sole carbon source and produce avermectin. Maltose utilization and avermectin production are restored by introduction of a single copy of malEFG-a. Overexpression of malEFG-a improves the utilization rate of starch, and thereby enhances avermectin production Streptomyces avermitilis
