IM-2 is one of the butyrolactone autoregulators of Streptomyces, which triggers production of a blue pigment in Streptomyces sp. FRI-5 at a concentration of 0.6 ng/ml. In the absence of IM-2, Streptomyces sp. FRI-5 was found to produce d-cycloserine. However, the addition of IM-2 at 5-h cultivation stopped both growth and d-cycloserine production, and instead induced production of several different antibiotics. The IM-2-induced antibiotics were isolated from the culture broth, and assigned as the nucleoside antibiotics, showdomycin and minimycin. Therefore, IM-2 was concluded to be a global regulator of a secondary metabolism, which not only induced the production of nucleoside antibiotics but also suppressed d-cycloserine production.  相似文献

IM-2 [(2R,3R,1'R)-2-1'-hydroxybutyl-3-hydroxymethyl gamma-butanolide] is a gamma-butyrolactone autoregulator which, in Streptomyces lavendulae FRI-5, switches off the production of D-cycloserine but switches on the production of a blue pigment and several nucleoside antibiotics. To clarify the in vivo function of an IM-2-specific receptor (FarA) in the IM-2 signaling cascade of S. lavendulae FRI-5, a farA deletion mutant was constructed by means of homologous recombination. On several solid media, no significant difference in morphology was observed between the wild-type strain and the farA mutant (strain K104), which demonstrated that the IM-2-FarA system does not participate in the morphological control of S. lavendulae FRI-5. In liquid media, the farA mutant overproduced nucleoside antibiotics and produced blue pigment earlier than did the wild-type strain, suggesting that the FarA protein acts primarily as a negative regulator on the biosynthesis of these compounds in the absence of IM-2. However, contrary to the IM-2-dependent suppression of D-cycloserine production in the wild-type strain, overproduction of D-cycloserine was observed in the farA mutant, indicating for the first time that the presence of both IM-2 and intact FarA are necessary for the suppression of D-cycloserine biosynthesis.  相似文献

The presence of -butyrolactone autoregulators and their receptor proteins were investigated in five representative strains of non-Streptomyces actinomycetes producing commercially important secondary metabolites. Ethyl acetate extracts of culture were assayed using wild-type S. virginiae for virginiae butanolide, S. lavendulae FRI-5 for IM-2, and S. griseus HH1 for A-factor. Actinoplanes teichomyceticus and Amycolatopsis mediterranei were shown to produce autoregulators. Corresponding autoregulator-binding activities were found in the crude cell-free lysates of these strains, using the binding assay with tritium-labeled autoregulator analogues as ligands, which suggests that non-Streptomyces actinomycetes might have autoregulator-dependent signaling cascades.  相似文献

Virginiae butanolides (VBs) and IM-2 are members of Streptomyces hormones called ‘butyrolactone autoregulators’ which regulate the antibiotic production in Streptomyces species at nanomolar concentrations. Cell-free extract of a VB-A overproducer, Streptomyces antibioticus NF-18, is capable of catalyzing the final step of the autoregulator biosynthesis, namely, the NADPH-dependent reduction of 6-dehydroVB-A. However, physico-chemical analyses of the purified enzymatic products revealed that, in addition to the VB-type isomer [(2R,3R,6S)-enantiomer], IM-2-type isomers [(2R,3R,6R)- and (2S,3S,6S)-enantiomers] were also produced from (±)-6-dehydroVB-A, suggesting the existence of several 6-dehydroVB-A reductases with respective stereoselectivities. The reductase activity of the crude extracts was separated into two activity peaks, peak I (major) and peak II (minor), by DEAE-5PW HPLC. Chiral HPLC analyses demonstrated that peak I enzyme and peak II enzyme catalyzed the production of (2R,3R,6S), (2R,3R,6R) and (2S,3S,6S) isomers at ratios of 46:1:3.2 and 4.9:1:1.5, respectively, indicating clearly that S. antibioticus NF-18 possesses at least two 6-dehydroVB-A reductases: one much favored toward VB-A biosynthesis, the other with relaxed stereoselectivity capable of synthesizing both VB-type and IM-2-type autoregulators.  相似文献

The genome of streptomycetes has the ability to produce many novel and potentially useful bioactive compounds, but most of which are not produced under standard laboratory cultivation conditions and are referred to as silent/cryptic secondary metabolites. Streptomyces lavendulae FRI-5 produces several types of bioactive compounds. However, this strain may also have the potential to biosynthesize more useful secondary metabolites. Here, we activated a silent biosynthetic gene cluster of an uncharacterized compound from S. lavendulae FRI-5 using heterologous expression. The engineered strain carrying the silent gene cluster produced compound 5, which was undetectable in the culture broth of S. lavendulae FRI-5. Using various spectroscopic analyses, we elucidated the chemical structure of compound 5 (named lavendiol) as a new diol-containing polyketide. The proposed assembly line of lavendiol shows a unique biosynthetic mechanism for polyketide compounds. The results of this study suggest the possibility of discovering more silent useful compounds from streptomycetes by genome mining and heterologous expression.  相似文献

Sequencing of a 4.3-kb DNA region from the chromosome of Streptomyces argillaceus, a mithramycin producer, revealed the presence of two open reading frames (ORFs). The first one (orfA) codes for a protein that resembles several transport proteins. The second one (mtmR) codes for a protein similar to positive regulators involved in antibiotic biosynthesis (DnrI, SnoA, ActII-orf4, CcaR, and RedD) belonging to the Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory protein (SARP) family. Both ORFs are separated by a 1.9-kb, apparently noncoding region. Replacement of the mtmR region by an antibiotic resistance cassette completely abolished mithramycin biosynthesis. Expression of mtmR in a high-copy-number vector in S. argillaceus caused a 16-fold increase in mithramycin production. The mtmR gene restored actinorhodin production in Streptomyces coelicolor JF1 mutant, in which the actinorhodin-specific activator ActII-orf4 is inactive, and also stimulated actinorhodin production by Streptomyces lividans TK21. A 241-bp region located 1.9 kb upstream of mtmR was found to be repeated approximately 50 kb downstream of mtmR at the other end of the mithramycin gene cluster. A model to explain a possible route for the acquisition of the mithramycin gene cluster by S. argillaceus is proposed.  相似文献

An incomplete oligoketide (PK; ‘polyketide’) gene cluster, aur1, responsible for the production of an angucycline-like antibiotic auricin was identified in Streptomyces aureofaciens CCM 3239. A region downstream of the aur1 was cloned and sequenced, revealing 28 new genes encoding putative protein products involved in deoxysugar biosynthesis and other putative PK-related biosynthetic functions. In addition, a gene, bpsA, encoding a protein similar to non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPSs) was identified in this region. A deduced protein product of the gene showed the highest similarity to NRPSs IndC from Erwinia chrysanthemi and BpsA from Streptomyces lavendulae, both involved in the biosynthesis of a blue pigment indigoidine. S. aureofaciens CCM 3239 was found to produce an extracellular blue pigment with identical properties as indigoidine. A deletion mutant of bpsA in S. aureofaciens CCM 3239 failed to produce the blue pigment. In addition, the deletion of bpsA had a positive effect on auricin production. The results indicate the involvement of the bpsA gene in biosynthesis of the indigoidine blue pigment in S. aureofaciens CCM 3239.  相似文献

Quantifying target microbial populations in complex communities remains a barrier to studying species interactions in soil environments. Quantitative PCR (qPCR) assays were developed for quantifying pathogenic Streptomyces scabiei and antibiotic-producing Streptomyces lavendulae strains in complex soil communities. This assay will be useful for evaluating the competitive dynamics of streptomycetes in soil.Streptomyces spp. are ubiquitous soil bacteria that are noted for their capacity to produce a vast array of bioactive compounds, including antibiotics (10). Antibiotic-mediated species interactions are believed to be important to Streptomyces fitness and plant disease biocontrol in soil, and yet quantitative data on Streptomyces interactions in soil are limited. Moreover, because the impacts of one species on another can be mediated through interactions with other microbes in the community, detecting these impacts requires a sensitive and accurate method for quantifying the target populations within a complex community. Here, we describe a sensitive and specific assay that targets a short hypervariable region of the 16S rRNA gene to distinguish among Streptomyces organisms in complex soil communities. Streptomyces strains DL93 (Streptomyces lavendulae, an antibiotic producer that is effective in plant disease biocontrol [9]) and DL87 (Streptomyces scabiei, a plant pathogen) were studied in the present work. This approach has significant potential to shed light on the diversity and complexity of Streptomyces species interactions in soil.  相似文献

Streptomyces albus J1074 is a streptomycete strain widely used as a host for expression of secondary metabolite gene clusters. Bioinformatic analysis of the genome of this organism predicts the presence of 27 gene clusters for secondary metabolites. We have used three different strategies for the activation of some of these silent/cryptic gene clusters in S. albus J1074: two hybrid polyketide-non-ribosomal peptides (PK-NRP) (antimycin and 6-epi-alteramides), a type I PK (candicidin), a non-ribosomal peptides (NRP) (indigoidine) and glycosylated compounds (paulomycins). By insertion of a strong and constitutive promoter in front of selected genes of two clusters, production of the blue pigment indigoidine and of two novel members of the polycyclic tetramate macrolactam family (6-epi-alteramides A and B) was activated. Overexpression of positive regulatory genes from the same organism also activated the biosynthesis of 6-epi-alteramides and heterologous expression of the regulatory gene pimM of the pimaricin cluster activated the simultaneous production of candicidins and antimycins, suggesting some kind of cross-regulation between both clusters. A cluster for glycosylated compounds (paulomycins) was also identified by comparison of the high-performance liquid chromatography profiles of the wild-type strain with that of a mutant in which two key enzymes of the cluster were simultaneously deleted.  相似文献

Background

Beyond pathway engineering, the metabolic state of the production host is critical in maintaining the efficiency of cellular production. The biotechnologically important yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae adjusts its energy metabolism based on the availability of oxygen and carbon sources. This transition between respiratory and non-respiratory metabolic state is accompanied by substantial modifications of central carbon metabolism, which impact the efficiency of metabolic pathways and the corresponding final product titers. Non-ribosomal peptide synthetases (NRPS) are an important class of biocatalysts that provide access to a wide array of secondary metabolites. Indigoidine, a blue pigment, is a representative NRP that is valuable by itself as a renewably produced pigment.

Results

Saccharomyces cerevisiae was engineered to express a bacterial NRPS that converts glutamine to indigoidine. We characterize carbon source use and production dynamics, and demonstrate that indigoidine is solely produced during respiratory cell growth. Production of indigoidine is abolished during non-respiratory growth even under aerobic conditions. By promoting respiratory conditions via controlled feeding, we scaled the production to a 2 L bioreactor scale, reaching a maximum titer of 980 mg/L.

Conclusions

This study represents the first use of the Streptomyces lavendulae NRPS (BpsA) in a fungal host and its scale-up. The final product indigoidine is linked to the activity of the TCA cycle and serves as a reporter for the respiratory state of S. cerevisiae. Our approach can be broadly applied to investigate diversion of flux from central carbon metabolism for NRPS and other heterologous pathway engineering, or to follow a population switch between respiratory and non-respiratory modes.

The marine roseobacter Phaeobacter sp. strain Y4I synthesizes the blue antimicrobial secondary metabolite indigoidine when grown in a biofilm or on agar plates. Prior studies suggested that indigoidine production may be, in part, regulated by cell-to-cell communication systems. Phaeobacter sp. strain Y4I possesses two luxR and luxI homologous N-acyl-l-homoserine lactone (AHL)-mediated cell-to-cell communication systems, designated pgaRI and phaRI. We show here that Y4I produces two dominant AHLs, the novel monounsaturated N-(3-hydroxydodecenoyl)-l-homoserine lactone (3OHC12:1-HSL) and the relatively common N-octanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (C8-HSL), and provide evidence that they are synthesized by PhaI and PgaI, respectively. A Tn5 insertional mutation in either genetic locus results in the abolishment (pgaR::Tn5) or reduction (phaR::Tn5) of pigment production. Motility defects and denser biofilms were also observed in these mutant backgrounds, suggesting an overlap in the functional roles of these systems. Production of the AHLs occurs at distinct points during growth on an agar surface and was determined by isotope dilution high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (ID-HPLC-MS/MS) analysis. Within 2 h of surface inoculation, only 3OHC12:1-HSL was detected in agar extracts. As surface-attached cells became established (at ∼10 h), the concentration of 3OHC12:1-HSL decreased, and the concentration of C8-HSL increased rapidly over 14 h. After longer (>24-h) establishment periods, the concentrations of the two AHLs increased to and stabilized at ∼15 nM and ∼600 nM for 3OHC12:1-HSL and C8-HSL, respectively. In contrast, the total amount of indigoidine increased steadily from undetectable to 642 μM by 48 h. Gene expression profiles of the AHL and indigoidine synthases (pgaI, phaI, and igiD) were consistent with their metabolite profiles. These data provide evidence that pgaRI and phaRI play overlapping roles in the regulation of indigoidine biosynthesis, and it is postulated that this allows Phaeobacter sp. strain Y4I to coordinate production of indigoidine with different growth-phase-dependent physiologies.  相似文献
