RESUMO
Previous studies showed that Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) has four genes (hrdA, hrdB, hrdC, and hrdD) that appear to encode RNA polymerase sigma factors very similar to the sigma 70 subunit of Escherichia coli and that hrdC and hrdD could be individually disrupted without causing obvious phenotypic defects. Here, hrdA was cloned and stable null hrdA and hrdD mutants were constructed by gene replacement. These two mutants and a previously constructed hrdC null mutant were used in crosses to generate hrdAC, hrdAD, hrdCD, and hrdACD strains. The inability to synthesize one, two, or all three of the nonessential hrd-encoded sigma factors had no obvious phenotypic consequences.
