The gene corresponding to the recently identified whiB-paralogous gene wblE in S. coelicolor was found after sequencing the downstream region of the stress-response sporulation-specific sigma-factor gene, sigH, in S. coelicolor A3(2). Sequence analysis has revealed an ORF exhibiting high similarity to sporulation transcription factors WhiB and WhiD. A stable null mutant of the wblE gene was obtained by integrative transformation, via double cross-over.
