The linear plasmid SCP1 of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is one of the genetically more studied linear streptomycete replicons. Although the genetics of SCP1 and its interaction with the host chromosome have been analyzed for nearly three decades no information exists on its replication. With the help of an ordered cosmid contig for the complete 360-kb element, we have localized a 5439-bp fragment from the central region that confers autonomous replication in Streptomyces lividans. The minimal origin contains two overlapping ORFs which are separated from an AT-rich region which might correspond to the replication start point. ORF1 revealed intensive similarity to a class of DNA-primase/helicases of actinophages and archael plasmids. In addition, we have identified a region in both terminal inverted repeats of SCP1 that shows significant homology to the transposable element Tn4811 located near the ends of the S. lividans 66 chromosome. 相似文献

A method was developed for the heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene clusters in different Streptomyces strains and for the modification of these clusters by single or multiple gene replacements or gene deletions with unprecedented speed and versatility. Lambda-Red-mediated homologous recombination was used for genetic modification of the gene clusters, and the attachment site and integrase of phage phiC31 were employed for the integration of these clusters into the heterologous hosts. This method was used to express the gene clusters of the aminocoumarin antibiotics novobiocin and clorobiocin in the well-studied strains Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans, which, in contrast to the natural producers, can be easily genetically manipulated. S. coelicolor M512 derivatives produced the respective antibiotic in yields comparable to those of natural producer strains, whereas S. lividans TK24 derivatives were at least five times less productive. This method could also be used to carry out functional investigations. Shortening of the cosmids' inserts showed which genes are essential for antibiotic production. 相似文献

The Escherichia coli positive selection vector pEcoR251 was ligated with the broad host range, high copy number Streptomyces plasmid pIJ702 to produce pLR591, a Streptomyces-E. coli positive selection shuttle vector. The EcoRI and thiostrepton resistance genes of pLR591 were expressed in E. coli and Streptomyces lividans respectively. The positive selection shuttle vector pLR591 facilitates the construction in E. coli of genomic libraries which can be screened in Streptomyces strains. 相似文献

The 8.8-kb amplifiable unit of DNA of Streptomyces achromogenes subsp. rubradiris, AUD-Sar 1, which carries 0.8-kb terminal direct repeats and a spectinomycin resistance determinant, can mediate high-level amplification of an AUD-Sar 1-derived 8.0-kb DNA sequence not only in S. achromogenes but also in the heterologous host Streptomyces lividans. This was seen upon introduction of AUD-Sar 1 into chloramphenicol-sensitive strains of S. lividans via the temperature-sensitive (39 degrees C) plasmid pMT660, which contains the thiostrepton resistance gene tsr. Following the cultivation of transformants at 39 degrees C on media containing spectinomycin, a number of strains which were unable to grow on thiostrepton and which carried the amplified 8.0-kb DNA sequence as arrays of 200 to 300 copies of tandem 8.0-kb repeats were found. Chloramphenicol-resistant strains of S. lividans did not yield amplified sequences under similar conditions. Studies with plasmids carrying inserted antibiotic resistance genes at two sites of AUD-Sar 1 yielded coamplified sequences which contain the inserted DNA. Transformation with a plasmid carrying a 1.0-kb deletion in AUD-Sar 1 followed by growth under similar conditions yielded a 7.0-kb repeated DNA sequence. Southern analysis revealed the absence of vector sequences located on the right side of AUD-Sar 1 in the input plasmids in all examined DNA samples of amplified strains. In contrast, a majority of the samples revealed the presence at unit copy level of AUD-Sar 1 left-adjacent sequences which are part of the input plasmids and in several samples the presence of certain vector sequences located near them. The results suggest input plasmid integration into the S. lividans chromosome prior to the generation of the amplified sequences and the deletion of AUD-Sar 1 adjacent sequences. 相似文献

Here we describe the rep gene, isolated from an environmental DNA library, which when transformed into Streptomyces species resulted in increased production of secondary metabolites and accelerated sporulation. We show that Streptomyces lividans strains bearing rep are particularly useful as expression hosts for heterologous antibiotic production. 相似文献

We report that transformation of Streptomyces lividans with cloned DNA of the SLP1 genetic element results in integration of the element at the same chromosomal locus (attB) normally occupied by SLP1 in its original host, Streptomyces coelicolor, and in S. lividans that has received SLP1 by mating. We constructed SLP1 derivatives that can integrate foreign DNA at the attB site and used these to introduce adventitious DNA sequences into the S. lividans chromosome. We also identified three regions of SLP1 essential for its integration and demonstrated that integration of the SLP1 element does not require expression of functions necessary for stable maintenance or transfer of extrachromosomal forms of SLP1. 相似文献

微生物次级代谢产物是药物先导化合物的重要源泉之一。随着测序技术的迅猛发展,越来越多的微生物基因组得以测序完成。伴随着测序技术的进步,生物信息学也得到了快速发展。基因组序列分析发现,链霉菌和丝状真菌等微生物中存在大量的已知的或未知的次级代谢物生物合成基因簇(secondary metabolite-biosynthetic gene clusters,SM-BGCs)。然而,在实验室培养条件下大部分基因簇无法表达或表达量很低,导致难以发现这些基因簇所对应的代谢产物,人们将这类基因簇称为“隐性基因簇”或“沉默基因簇”。通过调节基因簇中特异调控基因或基因簇外全局性调控基因的表达,对代谢途径的定向改造,以及将基因簇导入异源宿主等策略,能够激活部分隐性基因簇的表达。通过激活隐性基因簇的表达,能够发现通过常规实验室培养无法获得的具有独特生物活性的新结构代谢产物,成为创新药物的重要来源之一。然而,这些基因簇激活策略都严重依赖于对特定菌株或宿主的遗传操作。近年来,通过模拟自然混合培养中微生物间相互作用,开发了通过混合特定微生物菌株在厌氧或好氧条件下激活隐性基因簇的方法,称之为共培养激活策略。这种策略不... 相似文献

A method to select for transposable elements from Streptomyces spp. by using insertional inactivation of a repressor gene that functions in Escherichia coli was developed. Plasmid pCZA126, which can replicate in Streptomyces spp. or E. coli, contains a gene coding for the lambda cI857 repressor and a gene, under repressor control, coding for apramycin resistance. E. coli cells containing the plasmid are apramycin sensitive but become apramycin resistant if the cI857 repressor gene is disrupted. Plasmids propagated in Streptomyces spp. can be screened for transposable elements that have disrupted the cI857 gene by transforming E. coli cells to apramycin resistance. This method was used to isolate a new 1.6-kilobase insertion sequence, IS493, from Streptomyces lividans CT2. IS493 duplicated host DNA at the target site, had inverted repeats at its ends, and contained two tandem open reading frames on each strand. IS493 was present in three copies in the same genomic locations in several S. lividans strains. Two of the copies appeared to be present in regions of similar DNA context that extended at least 11.5 kilobases. Several other Streptomyces spp. did not appear to contain copies of IS493. 相似文献

SLP1int is a conjugative Streptomyces coelicolor genetic element that can transfer to Streptomyces lividans and integrate site specifically into the genome of the new bacterial host. Recombination of SLP1 previously has been shown to occur within nearly identical 112-base-pair att sequences on the plasmid and host chromosome. We report here that both integrative recombination and intermolecular transfer of SLP1int require no more than a 48-base-pair segment of the att sequence and that SLP1 transfer occurs by a conservative rather than a replicative mechanism. The functions responsible for the excision of the element as a discrete DNA segment are induced during the conjugal transfer of SLP1. 相似文献

The biopharmaceutical market has come a long way since 1982, when the first biopharmaceutical product, recombinant human insulin, was launched. Just over 200 biopharma products have already gained approval. The global market for biopharmaceuticals which is currently valued at over US$99 billion has been growing at an impressive compound annual growth rate over the previous years. To produce these biopharmaceuticals and other industrially important heterologous proteins, different prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression systems are used. All expression systems have some advantages as well as some disadvantages that should be considered in selecting which one to use. Choosing the best one requires evaluating the options--from yield to glycosylation, to proper folding, to economics of scale-up. No host cell from which all the proteins can be universally expressed in large quantities has been found so far. Therefore, it is important to provide a variety of host-vector expression systems in order to increase the opportunities to screen for the most suitable expression conditions or host cell. In this overview, we focus on Streptomyces lividans, a Gram-positive bacterium with a proven excellence in secretion capacity, as host for heterologous protein production. We will discuss its advantages and disadvantages, and how with systems biology approaches strains can be developed to better producing cell factories. 相似文献

Recombinant strains of S. lividans capable of secreting streptavidin were isolated. Various constructions containing either streptavidin gene copies integrated within a chromosome or a streptavidin gene within the secretory vector were investigated. S. lividans SA2 containing a gene copy integrated within the chromosome had the maximum productivity amounting to 60-80 per cent of the S. avidinii productivity. New vectors for Streptomyces used in the study are described. 相似文献

Antibiotic production in many streptomycetes is influenced by extracellular gamma-butyrolactone signalling molecules. In this study, the gene scbA, which had been shown previously to be involved in the synthesis of the gamma-butyrolactone SCB1 in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), was deleted from the chromosome of Streptomyces lividans 66. Deletion of scbA eliminated the production of the antibiotic stimulatory activity previously associated with SCB1 in S. coelicolor. When the S. lividans scbA mutant was transformed with a multi-copy plasmid carrying the gene encoding the pathway-specific activator for either actinorhodin or undecylprodigiosin biosynthesis, production of the corresponding antibiotic was elevated significantly compared to the corresponding scbA(+) strain carrying the same plasmid. Consequently, deletion of scbA may be useful in combination with other strategies to construct host strains capable of improved bioactive metabolite production. 相似文献

Natural products produced by microorganisms are important starting compounds for drug discovery. Secondary metabolites, including antibiotics, have been isolated from different Streptomyces species. The production of these metabolites depends on the culture conditions. Therefore, the development of a new culture method can facilitate the discovery of new natural products. Here, we show that mycolic acid-containing bacteria can influence the biosynthesis of cryptic natural products in Streptomyces species. The production of red pigment by Streptomyces lividans TK23 was induced by coculture with Tsukamurella pulmonis TP-B0596, which is a mycolic acid-containing bacterium. Only living cells induced this pigment production, which was not mediated by any substances. T. pulmonis could induce natural-product synthesis in other Streptomyces strains too: it altered natural-product biosynthesis in 88.4% of the Streptomyces strains isolated from soil. The other mycolic acid-containing bacteria, Rhodococcus erythropolis and Corynebacterium glutamicum, altered biosynthesis in 87.5 and 90.2% of the Streptomyces strains, respectively. The coculture broth of T. pulmonis and Streptomyces endus S-522 contained a novel antibiotic, which we named alchivemycin A. We concluded that the mycolic acid localized in the outer cell layer of the inducer bacterium influences secondary metabolism in Streptomyces, and this activity is a result of the direct interaction between the mycolic acid-containing bacteria and Streptomyces. We used these results to develop a new coculture method, called the combined-culture method, which facilitates the screening of natural products. 相似文献

Structural analysis of loci involved in pSAM2 site-specific integration in Streptomyces 总被引:13,自引:0,他引:13
pSAM2 is an 11-kb plasmid integrated in the Streptomyces ambofaciens ATCC23877 and ATCC15154 genomes and found additionally as a free replicon in an uv derivative. After transfer into S. ambofaciens DSM40697 (devoid of pSAM2) or into Streptomyces lividans, specific integration of pSAM2 occurred very efficiently. A 58-bp sequence (att) present in both pSAM2 (attP) and S. ambofaciens strain DSM40697 (attB) attachment regions is found at the boundaries (attL and attR) of integrated pSAM2 in S. ambofaciens strain ATCC23877. The S. lividans chromosomal integration zone contained an imperfectly conserved att sequence (attB), and the integration event of pSAM2 was located within a 49-bp sequence of attB. Only one primary functional attB sequence was present in the S. lividans or S. ambofaciens DSM40697 total DNA. The integration zone of S. lividans hybridized with the integration zone of S. ambofaciens DSM40697. The two integration zones were homologous only to the right side of the att sequence. The conserved region contained an open reading frame (ORF A) with a stop codon located 99 bp from the attB sequence in both strains. S. ambofaciens DSM40697 contained DNA sequences related to pSAM2 on the left side of the att site. The att sequence was included in a region conserved in Streptomyces antibioticus, Streptomyces actuosus, Streptomyces bikiniensis, Streptomyces coelicolor, Streptomyces glaucescens, and Streptomyces parvulus. Site-specific integration of a pSAM2 derivative was characterized in another unrelated strain, Streptomyces griseofuscus. This strain contained an imperfectly conserved 58-bp attB sequence, and the integration event took place within a 45-bp sequence of attB. Site-specific integration of pSAM2 in three nonrelated Streptomyces strains suggests the wide host range of pSAM2 integration in Streptomyces. 相似文献

We cloned a 9.4-kb DNA fragment from Streptomyces scabies ATCC 41973 that allows the nonpathogen Streptomyces lividans 66 TK24 to necrotize and colonize potato tuber slices and produce scab-like symptoms on potato minitubers. Deletion analysis demonstrated that activity was conferred by a 1.6-kb DNA region. Sequence analysis of a 2.4-kb DNA fragment spanning the DNA region necessary for activity revealed three open reading frames (ORFs). The deduced amino acid sequence of ORF1, designated ORFtnp, showed high levels of identity with the first 233 amino acids of the putative transposases of the IS1164 elements from Rhodococcus rhodochrous (71%) and Mycobacterium bovis (68%), members of the Staphylococcus aureus IS256 family of transposases. No significant homologies to ORF2 and ORF3 were found in the nucleic acid and protein databases. ORFtnp is located 5' of ORF3. ORF2 is incomplete and is located 3' of ORF3. Subcloning of the individual ORFs demonstrated that ORF3, designated nec1, is sufficient for necrotizing activity in S. lividans 66 TK24. S. lividans 66 TK24 expressing nec1 does not produce thaxtomin A but produces an unidentified extracellular water-soluble compound that causes necrosis on potato tuber discs. The G+C content of nec1 suggests that it has moved horizontally from another genus. Southern analysis of ORFtnp and nec1 demonstrate that these genes are physically linked in Streptomyces strains, including S. scabies and Streptomyces acidiscabies strains, that are pathogenic on potato and that produce the phytotoxin thaxtomin A. These data suggest that nec1 may have been mobilized into S. scabies through a transposition event mediated by ORFtnp. 相似文献
