Abstract

A gene library of Streptomyces lividans has been screened for tRNA-encoding genes with labeled Streptomyces tRNA as a probe. By sequence analysis of hybridizing fragments, two single genes have been identified which code for tRNA Asp and tRNA Gly. Associated with the tRNA gly gene, there are three open reading frames (ORFs) which might code for gene products possibly involved in active transport processes through the bacterial membrane. The transcriptional organization of tRNA Gly and the following ORFs was examined by high-resolution S1 mapping. A third clone carried a cluster of genes which encode two tRNA Gln and three tRNA Glu. This cluster corresponds to a similar cluster previously described for Streptomyces rimosus [Plohl and Gamulin, Mol. Gen. Genet. 222 (1990) 129–134].
