Abstract
The junctions of the Streptomyces lividans chromosomal terminal invert ed repeats (TIRs) were isolated from cosmid clones as 6.2 kb PstI and 2.9 kb BamHI fragments, respectively. The fragments were completely se quenced. In each of the fragments just one open reading frame could be identified. One putative gene product showed significant similarities to a sensor and the other to a transcriptional regulator protein of p rokaryotic two-component signalling systems. Next to one TIR numerous long direct repeats were found within a region of about 400 bp.
