JadL was identified as a Major Facilitator Superfamily (MFS) transporter (T.C. 2.A.1) through sequence homology. The protein is encoded by <i>jadL</i>, situated within the jadomycin biosynthetic gene cluster. JadL has, therefore, been assigned a putative role in host defense by exporting its probable substrates, the jadomycins, a family of secondary metabolites produced by <i>Streptomyces venezuelae</i> ISP5230. Herein, we evaluate this assumption through the construction and analysis of a <i>ja ...[more]
