In Streptomyces coelicolor, bldA mutants are defective in antibiotic production and the development of aerial hyphae and spores. Subcloning analysis showed that sequences spanning an NcoI site in cloned bldA+ DNA were needed to allow complementation of a bldA mutant. Nucleotide sequencing revealed a tRNA-like sequence 9 bp downstream from the NcoI site. Five independent bldA mutations all fell in a 16-bp region in the tRNA-like sequence, one of them changing the putative anticodon. In RNA dot-blot analysis, hybridization was detected with a probe specific for the tRNA-like transcript but not with a probe for "anti-tRNA-like" transcripts. The transcripts detected were all in the salt-soluble RNA fraction and accumulated relatively late in growth. It is postulated that bldA specifies a tRNA that would recognize the codon UUA (for leucine). This codon is very rare in Streptomyces genes [which generally contain greater than 70 mole% (G + C)], suggesting a possible role for bldA in translational control of development.

Pleiotropic morphological and antibiotic deficiencies result from mutations in a gene encoding a tRNA-like product in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
