    Abstract

    {redD} and {actII-ORF4}, regulatory genes required for synthesis of the antibiotics undecylprodigiosin and actinorhodin by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), were transcribed in vitro by an {RNA} polymerase holoenzyme containing {??(hrdD).} Disruption of {hrdD} had no effect on antibiotic production, indicating that {redD} and {actII-ORF4} are transcribed in vivo by at least one other {RNA} polymerase holoenzyme. These data provide the first experimental evidence that {HrdD} can function as a ?? factor.
