Streptomyces coelicolor bald (bld) mutants form colonies of vegetative substrate mycelium, but do not develop aerial hyphae or spore chains. The bldA strains form none of the four antibiotics known to be produced by the parent strain. With a vector derived from the temperate bacteriophage phi C31, a 5.6-kilobase fragment of wildtype DNA was cloned which restored sporulation to five independent bldA mutants when lysogenized with the recombinant phage. The cloned gene(s) was dominant over the mutant alleles. Phage integration by recombination of the cloned bldA+ DNA with the bldA region of each mutant produced mainly sporulating colonies, presumably heterozygous bldA+/bldA partial diploids for the insert DNA. However, a minority of these primary transductants were bald and were apparently homozygous bldA/bldA mutant partial diploids, formed by some homogenetization process. The phages released from the bald lysogens carried bldA mutations and were used to show that bldA+ sequences had been cloned and that fine mapping of the region could be performed. 相似文献

The extracellular proteome of Streptomyces coelicolor grown in a liquid medium was analyzed by using two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time of flight peptide mass fingerprint analysis. Culture supernatants became protein rich only after rapid growth had been completed, supporting the idea that protein secretion is largely a stationary phase phenomenon. Out of about 600 protein spots observed, 72 were characterized. The products of 47 genes were identified, with only 11 examples predicted to be secreted proteins. Mutation in bldA, previously known to impair the stationary phase processes of antibiotic production and morphological differentiation, also induced changes in the extracellular proteome, revealing even greater pleiotropy in the bldA phenotype than previously known. Four proteins increased in abundance in the bldA mutant, while the products of 11 genes, including four secreted proteins, were severely down-regulated. Although bldA encodes the only tRNA capable of efficiently translating the rare UUA (leucine) codon, none of the latter group of genes contains an in-frame TTA. SCO0762, a serine-protease inhibitor belonging to the Streptomyces subtilisin inhibitor family implicated in differentiation in other streptomycetes, was completely absent from the bldA mutant. This dependence was shown to be mediated via the TTA-containing regulatory gene adpA, also known as bldH, a developmental gene that is responsible for the effects of bldA on differentiation. Mutation of the SCO0762 gene abolished detectable trypsin-protease inhibitory activity but did not result in any obvious morphological defects. 相似文献

Genetic and biochemical characterization of the red gene cluster of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Production of the red antibiotic, undecylprodigiosin, by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was studied by DNA cloning and biochemical analysis. Over 21 kb of genomic DNA were cloned, in several segments, into plasmid vectors. The cloned DNA 'complemented' several specific mutations in the red gene cluster. Four red genes (redA, B, E, and F) were mapped to different regions within the cloned DNA. Screening with redE probes for DNA homologies among various streptomycetes revealed hybridizing DNA in three strains, one of them not known to synthesize prodigiosin pigments. Biochemical studies using protoplasted cells revised our interpretation of the nature of redE and redF mutations. Two forms of undecylnorprodigiosin: S-adenosylmethionine O-methyltransferase activity on gel filtration columns were detected: a very high molecular mass peak (greater than 5 MDal) and a 49 kDal) and a 49 kDal peak. Analyses of extracts from red mutants suggested that these two forms are related, and that at least the redE and redF gene products are necessary for O-methyltransferase activity in vivo. Lack of activity of the redE gene in a heterologous host, S. glaucescens, is consistent with the necessity for a biosynthetic complex involving several red gene products for efficient expression. Experiments in liquid antibiotic production medium indicated that prodigiosin compounds in S. coelicolor are examples of 'secondary metabolites' whose synthesis lags behind that of cell mass. The peak of specific activity of O-methyltransferase coincided with the 'late exponential' phase of growth. Thus, understanding the genetic regulation of undecylprodigiosin biosynthesis in S. coelicolor may be relevant to other antibiotic production pathways, and perhaps to 'secondary' metabolism in general. 相似文献

A RelC deletion mutant, KO-100, of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) has been isolated from a collection of spontaneous thiostrepton-resistant mutants. KO-100 grows as vigorously as the parent strain and possesses a 6-bp deletion within the rplK, previously termed relC. When the wild-type rplK gene was propagated on a low-copy-number vector in mutant KO-100, the ability to produce ppGpp, actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin, which had been lost in the RelC mutant, was completely restored. Allele replacement by gene homogenotization demonstrated that the RelC mutation is responsible for the resistance to thiostrepton and the inactivation of ppGpp, actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin production. Western blotting showed that ribosomes from the RelC mutant KO-100 contain only one-eighth the amount of L11 protein found in ribosomes of the parent strain. The impairment of antibiotic production in KO-100 could be rescued by the introduction of mutations that confer resistance to streptomycin (str), which result in alteration of Lys-88 in ribosomal protein S12 to Glu or Arg. No accompanying restoration of ppGpp synthesis was detected in these RelC str double mutants. 相似文献

The phosphopantetheinyl transferase genes SCO5883 (redU) and SCO6673 were disrupted in Streptomyces coelicolor. The redU mutants did not synthesize undecylprodigiosin, while SCO6673 mutants failed to produce calcium-dependent antibiotic. Neither gene was essential for actinorhodin production or morphological development in S. coelicolor, although their mutation could influence these processes. 相似文献

The AbsA two-component signal transduction system, comprised of the sensor kinase AbsA1 and the response regulator AbsA2, acts as a negative regulator of antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor, for which the phosphorylated form of AbsA2 (AbsA2 approximately P) is the agent of repression. In this study, we used chromatin immunoprecipitation to show that AbsA2 binds the promoter regions of actII-ORF4, cdaR, and redZ, which encode pathway-specific activators for actinorhodin, calcium-dependent antibiotic, and undecylprodigiosin, respectively. We confirm that these interactions also occur in vitro and that the binding of AbsA2 to each gene is enhanced by phosphorylation. Induced expression of actII-ORF4 and redZ in the hyperrepressive absA1 mutant (C542) brought about pathway-specific restoration of actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin production, respectively. Our results suggest that AbsA2 approximately P interacts with as many as four sites in the region that includes the actII-ORF4 promoter. These data suggest that AbsA2 approximately P inhibits antibiotic production by directly interfering with the expression of pathway-specific regulators of antibiotic biosynthetic gene clusters. 相似文献

Production of the blue-pigmented antibiotic actinorhodin is greatly enhanced in Streptomyces lividans and Streptomyces coelicolor by transformation with a 2.7-kb DNA fragment from the S. coelicolor chromosome cloned on a multicopy plasmid. Southern analysis, restriction map comparisons, and map locations of the cloned genes revealed that these genes were different from other known S. coelicolor genes concerned with actinorhodin biosynthesis or its pleiotropic regulation. Computer analysis of the DNA sequence showed five putative open reading frames (ORFs), which were named ORFA, ORFB, and ORFC (transcribed in one direction) and ORFD and ORFE (transcribed in the opposite direction). Subcloning experiments revealed that ORFB together with 137 bp downstream of it is responsible for antibiotic overproduction in S. lividans. Insertion of a phi C31 prophage into ORFB by homologous recombination gave rise to a mutant phenotype in which the production of actinorhodin, undecylprodigiosin, and the calcium-dependent antibiotic (but not methylenomycin) was reduced or abolished. The nonproducing mutants were not affected in the timing or vigor or sporulation. A possible involvement of ORFA in antibiotic production in S. coelicolor is not excluded. abaA constitutes a new locus which, like the afs and abs genes previously described, pleiotropically regulates antibiotic production. DNA sequences that hybridize with the cloned DNA are present in several different Streptomyces species. 相似文献
