Genetic characterization of afsK-av (SAV3816) in Streptomyces avermitilis ATCC 31272 was performed to evaluate the role(s) of this eukaryotic-type serine-threonine protein kinase (STPK) in the regulation of morphologic differentiation and secondary metabolism. The afsK-av::neo mutant (SJW4001) was defective in sporulation, melanogenesis, and avermectin production. These phenotypic defects were complemented by introduction of either the intact afsK-av or the 900-nt catalytic domain region. The catalytic domain restored sporulation and melanogenesis to SJW4001 whereas it partially recovered avermectin production. This study reveals that AfsKav is a pleiotropic regulator and demonstrates in vivo that the C-region of AfsKav is not essential for its regulatory role in S. avermitilis differentiations.
