Abstract

Three closely linked Streptomyces lividans tRNA genes encoding two tRNA(Lys)s and a tRNA(Gly) were cloned and sequences. The structure of tRNA(Gly) is unusual for eubacterial tRNAs. Including those in previous reports (R. Sedlmeier and H. Schmieger, Nucleic Acids Res. 18:4027, 1990, and R. Sedlmeier, G. Linti, K. Gregor, and H. Schmieger, Gene 132:125-130, 1993), 18 S. lividans tRNA genes were physically mapped on the chromosome of the closely related strain Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The structure and organization of tRNA genes of S. lividans and S. coelicolor are compared with those of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis.
