SACE_7040 is presumed to be a member of the TetR family of transcriptional regulators in Saccharopolyspora erythraea, but its biological function is unknown. It was shown that the SACE_7040 gene knockout mutant formed aerial mycelium earlier than its original strain, and this phenotype could be restored by complementation of a single copy of SACE_7040 gene, demonstrating that SACE_7040 is an important regulator of the morphological differentiation of Sac. erythraea. When SACE_7040 gene was disrupted in the bldD mutant, we intriguingly found that the defect in aerial development exhibited by the bldD mutant could be overcome, suggesting a crosstalk between SACE_7040 and BldD in Sac. erythraea morphogenesis. These findings provide novel insights toward the Sac. erythraea developmental biology.
