Abstract
A large operon-type structure has been located between the gltA and ci tB loci on the Bacillus subtilis chromosome. On the basis of the analy sis of the 25 kb sequenced so far, it potentially encodes at least thr ee large proteins which contain structural motifs associated with the subunits of all characterized peptide synthases. The amino acid recogn ition specificity of this new peptide synthase is discussed in the lig ht of sequence homology with other synthases.
