Summary Production of cephamycin and clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus is controlled by the phosphate concentration. Phosphate represses the biosynthesis of cephamycin synthetase, expandase and clavulanic acid synthetase. In the presence of 2 mM phosphate, the specific activities of expandase, cephamycin synthetase and clavulanic acid synthetase were higher than in the presence of 75 mM phosphate. The specific activity of cephamycin synthetase is maximal with an initial phosphate concentration of 10 mM, whereas the specific activity of expandase is maximal with 1 mM phosphate. A correlation between cephamycin synthetase specific activity and expandase specific activity was established at phosphate concentrations higher than 10 mM. This shows that the expandase is an important enzyme in the mechanism by which the phosphate concentration affects the biosynthesis of cephamycin. 相似文献

Production of cephamycin c and clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus was investigated using different media in shake flask condition. Highest cell growth (3.8 g/L) was observed in glycerol, sucrose, proline and glutamic acid (GSPG) medium. Although, GSPG medium supported maximum growth, it was least effective for the synthesis of both cephamycin and clavulanic acid. Yield of cephamycin and clavulanic acid was maximum in dextrin and K medium, respectively. High and low level of constituents of dextrin medium, affected production of both cephamycin and clavulanic acid. Biosynthesis of clavulanic acid was associated with production of cephamycin c. 相似文献

Summary Seven mutants of Streptomyces clavuligerus blocked in the biosynthesis of clavulanic acid, cephamycin C, or both antibiotics, have been isolated and characterized. Mutants nca1 and nca2 were unable to synthesize clavulanic acid but produced cephamycin C. Mutants nce1 and nce2 were completely blocked in cephamycin C production but formed clavulanic acid. A third group (mutants ncc1, ncc4 and ncc5) failed to produce both antibiotics. Arginase activity (forming ornithine) was very low in mutants ncc1 and ncc5. All the mutants blocked in clavulanic acid biosynthesis showed a normal ornithine--aminotransferase activity. Mutant ncc1, blocked in cephamycin biosynthesis, lacked completely lysine--aminotransferase (forming -aminoadipic acid) and isopenicillin N synthase. Two other mutants (nce2 and nce5) lacked isopenicillin N synthase. There was a good correlation between the isopenicillin N synthase and the lysine--aminotransferase activities of the nca mutants and the ability of those strains to produce cephamycin C. The condensing enzyme involved in the formation of the clavulanic acid nucleus appears to be different from the isopenicillin N synthase.Dedicated to Professor H.-J.

Palm and palm-kernel oils and their olein and stearin fractions were suitable as the main carbon sources for growth and production of clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus. However, oleic and lauric acids were not utilized for growth. A spontaneous mutant, which was selected for higher cephamycin C production, also produced more clavulanic acid with these oils in the medium. 相似文献

Carbon catabolite regulation of cephamycin C and expandase biosynthesis in Streptomyces clavuligerus
Ahmed Lebrihi Gerard Lefebvre Pierre Germain 《Applied microbiology and biotechnology》1988,28(1):44-51
Summary
Streptomyces clavuligerus produces cephamycin C while growing on chemically defined basal medium. Cephamycin C production takes place during the exponential growth phase and is accompanied by vigorous activity of the cephamycin C synthetase system and of expandase. An excessive amount of glycerol decreases cephamycin C production. Its negative effect appears to be greatest when it is added in the first phase of fermentation either alone or in the presence of starch. Starch excess also reduces cephamycin C production, but its effect is slight compared with glycerol. Glycerol hinders cephamycin C production by the repression of the cephamycin C synthetase system and particularly expandase biosynthesis. Starch and glycerol inhibit neither cephamycin C synthetase nor expandase activities. However, the phosphorylated intermediates of the glycolytic pathway, glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-phosphate, strongly inhibit expandase activity. 相似文献

Linkage between structural and regulatory genes implies that a direct correlation should exist between the spatio-temporal distribution of their expression. Green fluorescent protein (GFP) and cyan fluorescent protein (CFP) were used as reporters to analyze simultaneously expression of lysine-epsilon-aminotransferase (LAT) and its corresponding genetic regulator, CcaR. The isogenic strain containing lat::gfp and ccaR::cfp in the chromosome produced cephamycin C at levels similar to wild type Streptomyces clavuligerus. Confocal laser scanning microscopy revealed that expression of both LAT and CcaR in liquid culture was temporally dynamic and spatially heterogeneous in S. clavuligerus mycelia. During the early culture stage only a part of the mycelia began to express LAT and CcaR at low levels. As the culture aged, expression levels and the population of mycelia expressing LAT and CcaR increased and were followed late in the growth cycle by a reduction of the mycelia population expressing LAT and CcaR. The approach provides a precise simultaneous temporal-spatial expression profile and corroborates the regulatory linkage between ccaR and lat in S. clavuligerus. 相似文献

Cephamycin C-producing microorganisms use two enzymes to convert cephalosporins to their 7alpha-methoxy derivatives. Here we report the X-ray structure of one of these enzymes, CmcI, from Streptomyces clavuligerus. The polypeptide chain of the enzyme folds into a C-terminal Rossmann domain and a smaller N-terminal domain, and the molecule packs as a hexamer in the crystal. The Rossmann domain binds S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) and the demethylated product, S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine, in a fashion similar to the common binding mode of this cofactor in SAM-dependent methyltransferases. There is a magnesium-binding site in the vicinity of the SAM site with a bound magnesium ion ligated by residues Asp160, Glu186 and Asp187. The expected cephalosporin binding site near the magnesium ion is occupied by polyethyleneglycol (PEG) from the crystallisation medium. The geometry of the SAM and the magnesium binding sites is similar to that found in cathechol O-methyltransferase. The results suggest CmcI is a methyltransferase, and its most likely function is to catalyse the transfer of a methyl group from SAM to the 7alpha-hydroxy cephalosporin in the second catalytic reaction of cephamycin formation. Based on the docking of the putative substrate, 7alpha-hydroxy-O-carbamoyldeacetylcephalosporin C, to the structure of the ternary CmcI-Mg2+-SAM complex, we propose a model for substrate binding and catalysis. In this model, the 7-hydroxy group of the beta-lactam ring ligates the Mg2+ with its alpha-side facing the methyl group of SAM at a distance that would allow methylation of the hydroxyl-group. 相似文献

Simultaneous production and decomposition of clavulanic acid during Streptomyces clavuligerus cultivations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Clavulanic acid (CA) was produced by Streptomyces clavuligerus in medium containing glycerol and soy meal or soy meal extract. With regard to growth and CA productivity, the microorganism
showed significant differences if solid soy meal as such or its extract were applied as the major nitrogen source. If the
extract is used, growth and CA production take place simultaneously and in the stationary phase the CA concentration is stagnant
or reduces. If soy meal is used, growth is threefold faster and CA is only generated in the stationary phase. In the case
of using the soy meal extract, the decrease of the CA concentration is mainly due to decomposition or re-metabolisation of
CA in the presence of the microorganism. This conclusion is supported by in vivo and in vitro data on CA decomposition.

Among four different commercially available nitrogen sources containing soybean derivatives, a protein extract of soybean gave the highest yield for clavulanic acid production by Streptomyces clavuligerus. A statistical method based on factorial design of experiments was applied to optimise the medium. An empirical model was obtained by applying response surface statistical analysis. The analysis of variance showed that concentrations of protein extract of soybean and glycerol and the interaction between these two variables were significant at 95% level of confidence. The maximum clavulanic acid concentration obtained in 72 h was 1.2 g l–1. 相似文献

In this work, in silico flux balance analysis is used for predicting the metabolic behavior of Streptomyces clavuligerus during clavulanic acid production. To choose the best objective function for use in the analysis, three different optimization problems are evaluated inside the flux balance analysis formulation: (i) maximization of the specific growth rate, (ii) maximization of the ATP yield, and (iii) maximization of clavulanic acid production. Maximization of ATP yield showed the best predictions for the cellular behavior. Therefore, flux balance analysis using ATP as objective function was used for analyzing different scenarios of nutrient limitations toward establishing the effect of limiting the carbon, nitrogen, phosphorous, and oxygen sources on the growth and clavulanic acid production rates. Obtained results showed that ammonia and phosphate limitations are the ones most strongly affecting clavulanic acid biosynthesis. Furthermore, it was possible to identify the ornithine flux from the urea cycle and the α‐ketoglutarate flux from the TCA cycle as the most determinant internal fluxes for promoting clavulanic acid production. © 2015 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Biotechnol.

Summary In order to study the mechanism of cephamycin production by streptomycetes and to use genetic recombination in strain development, we undertook genetic studies inStreptomyces lipmanii andS. clavuligerus. S. lipmanii crosses gave 0.005–1.3% prototroph-like colonies, but all segregated back to parental genotypes. Crosses ofS. clavuligerus resulted in lower frequencies of prototroph-like colonies, i.e., 0.00002–0.9%. In ade x ura and ade x his crosses, the recombinant progeny did not segregate back. In arg x ade and arg x his crosses, segregation occurred in about 50% of the progeny. These data demonstrate that true haploid recombinants occur in crosses ofS. clavuligerus. S. lipmanii yielded only heterokaryons and, therefore, is less suitable thanS. clavuligerus for further genetic study. 相似文献

Biosynthesis of cephamycin C in Streptomyces clavuligerus involves the initial conversion of lysine to alpha-aminoadipic acid. Lysine-6-aminotransferase and piperideine-6-carboxylate dehydrogenase carry out this two-step reaction, and genes encoding each of these enzymes are found within the cephamycin C gene cluster. However, while mutation of the lat gene causes complete loss of cephamycin production, pcd mutants still produce cephamycin at 30% to 70% of wild-type levels. Cephamycin production by pcd mutants could be restored to wild-type levels either by supplementation of the growth medium with alpha-aminoadipic acid or by complementation of the mutation with an intact copy of the pcd gene. Neither heterologous PCR nor Southern analyses showed any evidence for the presence of a second pcd gene. Furthermore, cell extracts from pcd mutants lack detectable PCD activity. Cephamycin production in the absence of detectable PCD activity suggests that S. clavuligerus must have some alternate means of producing the aminoadipyl-cysteinyl-valine needed for cephamycin biosynthesis. 相似文献

Expansion of the clavulanic acid gene cluster: identification and in vivo functional analysis of three new genes required for biosynthesis of clavulanic acid by Streptomyces clavuligerus

Clavulanic acid is a potent inhibitor of beta-lactamase enzymes and is of demonstrated value in the treatment of infections by beta-lactam-resistant bacteria. Previously, it was thought that eight contiguous genes within the genome of the producing strain Streptomyces clavuligerus were sufficient for clavulanic acid biosynthesis, because they allowed production of the antibiotic in a heterologous host (K. A. Aidoo, A. S. Paradkar, D. C. Alexander, and S. E. Jensen, p. 219-236, In V. P. Gullo et al., ed., Development in industrial microbiology series, 1993). In contrast, we report the identification of three new genes, orf10 (cyp), orf11 (fd), and orf12, that are required for clavulanic acid biosynthesis as indicated by gene replacement and trans-complementation analysis in S. clavuligerus. These genes are contained within a 3.4-kb DNA fragment located directly downstream of orf9 (cad) in the clavulanic acid cluster. While the orf10 (cyp) and orf11 (fd) proteins show homologies to other known CYP-150 cytochrome P-450 and [3Fe-4S] ferredoxin enzymes and may be responsible for an oxidative reaction late in the pathway, the protein encoded by orf12 shows no significant similarity to any known protein. The results of this study extend the biosynthetic gene cluster for clavulanic acid and attest to the importance of analyzing biosynthetic genes in the context of their natural host. Potential functional roles for these proteins are proposed. 相似文献

The effect of the nitrogen source in the production medium on the level of clavulanic acid production by Streptomyces clavuligerus has been investigated. Batch cultures using two types of synthetic culture medium and two types of complex culture medium containing soybean derivatives were employed. To allow comparison of the various media, all of them were formulated with 4.0 g total nitrogen/l. It was observed that the production of clavulanic acid using synthetic medium reached values slightly greater than those usually found in the literature. However, in trials with complex media, it was found that when Samprosoy 90NB (protein extract of soybean) was utilized, production of clavulanic acid went up to 920 mg/l, twice as high as when soy meal was used, and notably higher than values reported in the literature (300–500 mg/l) for complex medium. 相似文献
