To isolate a gene for stimulating avermectin production, a genomic library of Streptomyces avermitilis ATCC 31267 was constructed in Streptomyces lividans TK21 as the host strain. An 8.0-kb DNA fragment that significantly stimulated actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin production was isolated. When wild-type S. avermitilis was transformed with the cloned fragment, avermectin production increased approximately 3.5-fold. The introduction of this fragment into high-producer (ATCC 31780) and semi-industrial (L-9) strains also resulted in an increase of avermectin production by more than 2.0- and 1.4-fold, respectively. Subclones were studied to locate the minimal region involved in stimulation of pigmented-antibiotic and avermectin production. An analysis of the nucleotide sequence of the entire DNA fragment identified eight complete and one incomplete open reading frame. All but one of the deduced proteins exhibited strong homology (68 to 84% identity) to the hypothetical proteins of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The orfX gene product showed no significant similarity to any other protein in the databases, and an analysis of its sequence suggested that it was a putative membrane protein. Although the nature of the stimulatory effect is still unclear, the disruption of orfX revealed that this gene was intrinsically involved in the stimulation of avermectin production in S. avermitilis. 相似文献

The role of the extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factor Sig6 (SAV663) in avermectin production by Streptomyces avermitilis was investigated by gene-deletion, complementation and over-expression experiments. Inactivation of Sig6 had no major effect
on growth, stress responses, or morphology. Avermectin yield was increased 2- to 2.7-fold (~680 μg/ml) relative to the wild-type
strain by deletion of the sig6 gene, and was restored to the wild-type level by introduction of a single copy of sig6. Introduction of extra multi-copy or integrative sig6 vectors into the wild-type decreased avermectin yield by 56–63%. Taken together, these findings indicate that Sig6 plays
a negative regulatory role in avermectin production in S. avermitilis. RT-PCR analysis demonstrated that this role of Sig6 is mediated by the pathway-specific activator gene aveR. 相似文献

Avermectin is an important macrocyclic polyketide produced by Streptomyces avermitilis and widely used as an anthelmintic agent in the medical, veterinary, and agricultural fields. The avermectin biosynthetic
gene cluster contains aveR, which belongs to the LAL-family of regulatory genes. In this study, aveR was inactivated by gene replacement in the chromosome of S. avermitilis, resulting in the complete loss of avermectin production. The aveR mutant was unable to convert an avermectin intermediate to any avermectin derivatives, and complementation by intact aveR and its proper upstream region restored avermectin production in the mutant, suggesting that AveR is a positive regulator
controlling the expression of both polyketide biosynthetic genes and postpolyketide modification genes in avermectin biosynthesis.
Despite the general concept that an increased amount of a positive pathway-specific regulator leads to higher production,
a higher amount of aveR resulted in complete loss of avermectin, indicating that there is a maximum threshold concentration of aveR for the production of avermectin. 相似文献

Avermectin and its analogues, produced by Streptomyces avermitilis, are major commercial antiparasitic agents in the field of animal health, agriculture, and human infections. They are 16-membered pentacyclic lactone compounds derived from polyketide and linked to a disaccharide of the methylated deoxysugar l-oleandrose. Labeling studies, analyses of the biosynthetically blocked mutants, and the identification of the avermectin gene cluster allows characterization of most of the biosynthetic pathway. Recent completion of S. avermitilis genome sequencing is also expected to help in revealing the precise biosynthetic sequence and the complicated regulatory mechanism for avermectin biosynthesis, which has been long-awaited to be elucidated. The well characterized avermectin biosynthetic pathway and availability of S. avermitilis genome information in combination with the recent development of combinatorial biosynthesis should allow us to redesign more potent avermectin analogues and to engineer S. avermitilis as a more efficient host for the production of important commercial analogues. 相似文献

To date, several actinomycete genomes have been completed and annotated. Among them, Streptomyces microorganisms are of major pharmaceutical interest because they are a rich source of numerous secondary metabolites. S. avermitilis is an industrial microorganism used for the production of an anthelmintic agent, avermectin, which is a commercially important antiparasitic agent in human and veterinary medicine, and agricultural pesticides. Genome analysis of S. avermitilis provides significant information for not only industrial applications but also understanding the features of this genus. On genome mining of S. avermitilis, the microorganism has been found to harbor at least 38 secondary metabolic gene clusters and 46 insertion sequence (IS)-like sequences on the genome, which have not been searched so far. A significant use of the genome data of Streptomyces microorganisms is the construction of a versatile host for heterologous expression of exogenous biosynthetic gene clusters by genetic engineering. Since S. avermitilis is used as an industrial microorganism, the microorganism is already optimized for the efficient supply of primary metabolic precursors and biochemical energy to support multistep biosynthesis. The feasibility of large-deletion mutants of S. avermitilis has been confirmed by heterologous expression of more than 20 exogenous biosynthetic gene clusters. 相似文献
