Cloning, sequencing and function ofsanA, a gene involved in nikkomycin biosynthesis ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes

Several genetically stable mutants blocked in nikkomycin biosynthesis were obtained after the slightly germinated spores of Streptomyces ansochromogenes, a nikkomycin producer, were treated with ultra violet radiation. One of the mutants is the same in morpholotical differentiation as the wild type strain and is designated as NBB19. A DMA library was constructed using plasmid plJ702 as cloning vector, NBB19 as cloning recipient. A 6 kb DNA fragment which can genetically complement NBB19 was cloned when screening the library for antifungal activity. Sequence analysis showed that the 3 kb Bgl II-Sal I fragment contains one complete ORF (ORF1) and one partial ORF (ORF2). ORF1 is designated as sanA. sanA is 1 365 bp, encoding a protein consisting of 454 amino acid residues. Database searching indicated that sanA is homologous to the hypothetical methyltransferase in Pyrococcus horikoshli with 25% identities and 41% positives. Disruptant of sanA lost the ability to synthesize nikkomycin. It indicated that sa

圈卷产色链霉菌分化基因sawB的结构与功能

以Sau3AI部分酶切野生型圈卷产色链霉菌7100(Streptomyces ansochromogenes 7100)染色体DNA,回收3～6 kb的DNA片段,插入到链霉菌表达载体pIJ702的BglⅡ位点,转化圈卷产色链霉菌白色突变株W19,得到了近3 000个转化子,从中筛选到了两个具有硫链丝菌素抗性和野生型灰色表型的转化子.进行了质粒提取和酶切分析,两个重组质粒分别命名为pNL-1和pNL-2(分别含有约5.2和5.8 kb的外源片段).通过亚克隆及突变株互补实验,将互补W19的基因定位在了1.25 kb的Pst Ⅰ-Apa Ⅰ片段上.DNA序列分析结果表明,该DNA片段中含有一个完整的可读框(ORF1),编码一个由295个氨基酸组成的蛋白质,该基因命名为sawB.利用Blast程序在蛋白数据库中比较发现,SawB与天蓝色链霉菌的一个转录调控蛋白WhiH具有81%的一致性.利用基因破坏策略研究了sawB的功能,结果发现,野生型菌株的sawB基因破坏后,丧失了孢子形成能力,由灰色表型转变为白色表型.显微镜下观察sawB突变株的气生菌丝长而直,顶部略有波浪形卷曲,螺旋程度有所下降.由此可知,sawB是与圈卷产色链霉菌形态分化有关的一个重要基因,它与菌丝螺旋及孢子形成直接相关.sawB的异源表达分析表明,sawB可互补天蓝色链霉菌whiH突变株C119,使之恢复到野生型表型,产生紧密螺旋及丰富的灰色孢子.     

A novel gene——samfR involved in early stage of Streptomyces ansochromogenes differentiation

A 4.6 kb DNA fragment was cloned from the DNA library of Streptomyces ansochromogenes using a partial DNA fragment located in the downstream of promoter-P_(TH4) as probe. The experiments revealed that this DNA fragment consists of saw D gene and a 1.4 kb Pvu Ⅱ fragment which can accelerate mycelium formation of S. ansochromogerms. The nucleofide sequence of 1.4 kb DNA fragment was determined and analysed; the result indicated that the fragment contains one complete open reading frame (ORF) which encodes a protein with 213 amino acids, and this gene was desiguated as samfR. The deduced protein has 36% amino acid identities and 52% amino acid similarities in comparison with that encoded by hppR gene, which is involved in the regulation of catabolism for 3-(3-hydroxyphenyl) propionate (3HPP) in Rhodococcus globerulus. The function of samfR gene was studied using strategy of gene disruption, and the resulting samfR mutant failed to form aerial hyphae and spores, its development and differentiation stopped     

Structure and function ofsawB, a gene involved in differentiation ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes

A partial DNA library of Streptomyces ansochromogenes 7100 was constructed by using plasmid plJ702 as vector and white mutant W19 as recipient. About 3 000 clones were obtained, two of which gave rise to the grey phenotype as wild type 7100. The plasmids were isolated from two transformants. The result indicated that the 5.2 kb and 5.8 kb DNA fragments were inserted into plJ702. The resulting recombinant plasmids were designated as pNL-1 and pNL-2 respectively. The 1.25 kb Pstl l-Apa l DNA fragment from pNL-1 was recognized as its complementarity to W19 strain. The nucleotide sequence of the 3.0 kb Pst I DNA fragment including 1.25 kb was determined and analyzed. The result indicated that this DNA fragment contains one complete open reading frame (ORF1) which encodes a protein with 295 amino acid residues, and this gene was designated as sawB. The deduced protein has 81% amino acid identities in comparison with that encoded by whiH in Streptomyces coelicolor. The function of sawB gene was studied by usi
