微生物能够产生众多结构和生物活性多样的次生代谢产物,而其生物合成基因簇的挖掘和异源表达是药物创新和产量提高的必要前提. 在过去20年里,大量重要天然产物的生物合成基因簇在微生物中被不断的发现. 在这些被挖掘的基因簇中,肽类抗生素的生物合成基因簇占了很大比重.肽类抗生素因具有抗菌、抗肿瘤、抗病毒等多种生物学活性而备受化学家和药物学家的重视. 如能了解它们的生物合成机制,实现其基因簇的异源表达,将使合理化遗传修饰生物合成通路获取结构类似物(药物开发)和提高产量成为可能. 大肠杆菌作为最广泛、最成功的表达体系,常用来表达外源基因,但一般只能表达一个或几个基因,却很少有用它来表达整个生物合成基因簇. 2001年,Khosla和Cane在E.coli中成功异源表达了一个复杂聚酮天然产物(红霉素苷原6dEB)基因簇. 这是首个有关在E.coli中异源表达天然产物生物合成基因簇的研究. 至此之后,大肠杆菌开始作为生物合成基因簇的异源表达宿主,越来越受到相关领域的重视. 紧接着核糖体肽和非核糖体肽生物合成基因簇也相继在大肠杆菌中成功异源表达. 本文对肽类抗生素生物合成基因簇在E.coli中的异源表达进行了综述.  相似文献

【背景】对抗生素生物合成途径的阐明有助于提高目标化合物的产量并开发具有更高活性的新化合物。基因的同框缺失是天然产物生物合成研究的常规手段,通过分析突变菌株积累的中间产物,可以帮助推导天然产物的合成途径及相关基因的功能。天然产物生物合成基因簇的大小一般在20 kb以上,对每个基因进行同框缺失耗时耗力,因此,优化链霉菌来源的基因同框缺失的方法有重要的意义。【目的】基于PCR-targeting重新设计了一套在链霉菌柯斯文库质粒上进行基因同框缺失的方法,实现链霉菌基因在大肠杆菌中快速、高效的基因同框缺失的技术体系。【方法】使用氨苄青霉素抗性基因bla作为PCR-targeting DNA片段的筛选标记,同时使用体外的Pac I酶切和酶连系统代替体内的Flp/FRT系统来介导同框缺失的构建。【结果】利用这种方法,在6 d内完成了米多霉素生物合成基因簇中14个基因的同框缺失。【结论】此方法与传统的PCR-targeting方法相比,构建同框缺失载体的效率明显提高;Pac I识别序列在链霉菌基因组上的稀有性使得此方法在构建抗生素生物合成基因簇必需基因的同框缺失载体上具有普适性。  相似文献

Methods that allow the assembly of genes in one single DNA segment are of great use in bioengineering and synthetic biology. The biosynthesis of plipastatin, a lipopeptide antibiotic synthesized non-ribosomally by Bacillus subtilis 168, requires three gene blocks at different genome loci, i.e. the peptide synthetase operon ppsABCDE (38-kb), degQ (0.6kb), and sfp (1.0kb). We applied a DNA assembly protocol in B. subtilis, named ordered gene assembly in B. subtilis (OGAB) method, to incorporate those three gene blocks into a one-unit plasmid via one ligation-reaction. High yields of correct assembly, above 87%, allowed us to screen for the plasmid that produced plipastatin at a level approximately 10-fold higher than in the wild-type. In contrast to that recombinogenic technologies used in E. coli require repetitive assembly steps and/or several selection markers, our method features high fidelity and efficiency, is completed in one ligation using only one selection marker associating with plasmid vector, and is applicable to DNA fragments larger than 40kb.  相似文献

Group A Streptococcus pyogenes (GAS) is a leading human pathogen that produces a powerful cytolytic bacteriocin known as streptolysin S (SLS). We have developed a bioengineering strategy to successfully reconstitute SLS activity using heterologous expression in laboratory strains of Escherichia coli. Our E. coli-based heterologous expression system will allow more detailed studies into the biosynthesis of other bacteriocin compounds and the production of these natural products in much greater yield.  相似文献

Kinetic parameters of Streptomyces olivocinereus 11-98 growth and biosynthesis of heliomycin were studied. It was shown that carbon sources such as glycerol, mannitol and ramnose were the most favourable for the antibiotic biosynthesis. These carbon sources belonged to the group of substances providing high growth rates of the culture. Ranging of the culture growth rates and antibiotic production levels revealed a set of carbon sources providing a converse relationship between the growth rate and antibiotic biosynthesis i.e. L-arabinose, potassium gluconate, raffinose and sucrose. It was suggested that these compounds were catabolic type regulators of heliomycin biosynthesis.  相似文献

The biosynthesis of antibiotics and self-protection mechanisms employed by antibiotic producers are an integral part of the growing antibiotic resistance threat. The origins of clinically relevant antibiotic resistance genes found in human pathogens have been traced to ancient microbial producers of antibiotics in natural environments. Widespread and frequent antibiotic use amplifies environmental pools of antibiotic resistance genes and increases the likelihood for the selection of a resistance event in human pathogens. This perspective will provide an overview of the origins of antibiotic resistance to highlight the crossroads of antibiotic biosynthesis and producer self-protection that result in clinically relevant resistance mechanisms. Some case studies of synergistic antibiotic combinations, adjuvants, and hybrid antibiotics will also be presented to show how native antibiotic producers manage the emergence of antibiotic resistance.  相似文献

ABSTRACT

Secondary metabolites produced by actinobacteria have diverse structures and important biological activities, making them a useful source of drug development. Diversity of the secondary metabolites indicates that the actinobacteria exploit various chemical reactions to construct a structural diversity. Thus, studying the biosynthetic machinery of these metabolites should result in discovery of various enzymes catalyzing interesting and useful reactions. This review summarizes our recent studies on the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites from actinobacteria, including the biosynthesis of nonproteinogenic amino acids used as building blocks of nonribosomal peptides, the type II polyketide synthase catalyzing polyene scaffold, the nitrous acid biosynthetic pathway involved in secondary metabolite biosynthesis and unique cytochrome P450 catalyzing nitrene transfer. These findings expand the knowledge of secondary metabolite biosynthesis machinery and provide useful tools for future bioengineering.  相似文献

Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) and propionyl-CoA carboxylase (PCC) catalyze the carboxylation of acetyl- and propionyl-CoA to generate malonyl- and methylmalonyl-CoA, respectively. Understanding the substrate specificity of ACC and PCC will (1) help in the development of novel structure-based inhibitors that are potential therapeutics against obesity, cancer, and infectious disease and (2) facilitate bioengineering to provide novel extender units for polyketide biosynthesis. ACC and PCC in Streptomyces coelicolor are multisubunit complexes. The core catalytic beta-subunits, PccB and AccB, are 360 kDa homohexamers, catalyzing the transcarboxylation between biotin and acyl-CoAs. Apo and substrate-bound crystal structures of PccB hexamers were determined to 2.0-2.8 A. The hexamer assembly forms a ring-shaped complex. The hydrophobic, highly conserved biotin-binding pocket was identified for the first time. Biotin and propionyl-CoA bind perpendicular to each other in the active site, where two oxyanion holes were identified. N1 of biotin is proposed to be the active site base. Structure-based mutagenesis at a single residue of PccB and AccB allowed interconversion of the substrate specificity of ACC and PCC. The di-domain, dimeric interaction is crucial for enzyme catalysis, stability, and substrate specificity; these features are also highly conserved among biotin-dependent carboxyltransferases. Our findings enable bioengineering of the acyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) substrate specificity to provide novel extender units for the combinatorial biosynthesis of polyketides.  相似文献

Imbricin (macrolide nonpolyen antibiotic) biosynthesis conditions was investigated in the medium containing culture filtrate of its producer--Streptomyces imbricatus. It was demonstrated that filtrate contains some regulator substance affecting the antibiotic biosynthesis and metabolism processes of actinomycetes S. imbricatus. Maximum of regulator accumulation coincides with maximum of antibiotic biosynthesis, and amount of synthesized imbricin is proportional to the amount of the culture filtrate added to the medium. When low active mutant of S. imbricatus was grown in the medium with added regulator its activity achieved the control level. It was shown that stimulating activity of the producer's culture filtrate is not connected with pH changes or with supplement with some additional nutritional substrates.  相似文献

Differentiation-inducing factors (DIFs) are well known to modulate formation of distinct communal cell types from identical Dictyostelium discoideum amoebas, but DIF biosynthesis remains obscure. We report complimentary in vivo and in vitro experiments identifying one of two approximately 3,000-residue D. discoideum proteins, termed 'steely', as responsible for biosynthesis of the DIF acylphloroglucinol scaffold. Steely proteins possess six catalytic domains homologous to metazoan type I fatty acid synthases (FASs) but feature an iterative type III polyketide synthase (PKS) in place of the expected FAS C-terminal thioesterase used to off load fatty acid products. This new domain arrangement likely facilitates covalent transfer of steely N-terminal acyl products directly to the C-terminal type III PKS active sites, which catalyze both iterative polyketide extension and cyclization. The crystal structure of a steely C-terminal domain confirms conservation of the homodimeric type III PKS fold. These findings suggest new bioengineering strategies for expanding the scope of fatty acid and polyketide biosynthesis.  相似文献

beta-Lactam antibiotics are produced by prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. The genes for beta-lactam biosynthesis are organized in clusters but the location of the different genes is not identical. Biosynthesis genes are clustered with genes for resistance (bla, pbp) and for the efflux of the antibiotic (cmcT) in prokaryotes. Comparison of proteins reveals much larger differences for primary metabolism enzymes than for beta-lactam biosynthesis enzymes in producing organisms. This suggests a horizontal transfer of the beta-lactam antibiotic biosynthesis genes.  相似文献
