Cloning, sequencing and function ofsanA, a gene involved in nikkomycin biosynthesis ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes

Several genetically stable mutants blocked in nikkomycin biosynthesis were obtained after the slightly germinated spores ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes, a nikkomycin producer, were treated with ultra violet radiation. One of the mutants is the same in morpholotical differentiation as the wild type strain and is designated as NBB19. A DNA library was constructed using plasmid pIJ702 as cloning vector, NBB19 as cloning recipient. A 6 kb DNA fragment which can genetically complement NBB19 was cloned when screening the library for antifungal activity. Sequence analysis showed that the 3 kbBgl II -Sal I fragment contains one complete ORF (ORF1) and one partial ORF (ORF2). ORF1 is designated assanA. sanA is 1 365 bp, encoding a protein consisting of 454 amino acid residues. Database searching indicated thatsanA is homologous to the hypothetical methyltransferase inPyrococcus horikoshii with 25% identities and 41% positives. Disruptant ofsanA lost the ability to synthesize nikkomycin. It indicated thatsanA is a novel gene which is essential for nikkomycin biosynthesis.     

Disruption of sabR affects nikkomycin biosynthesis and morphogenesis in Streptomyces ansochromogenes

The gene, sabR, encoding a receptor for -butyrolactone, was cloned from the genomic DNA of Streptomyces ansochromogenes 7100. Its deduced protein shows strong homology to several -butyrolactone-binding proteins in Streptomyces. Disruption of sabR retarded nikkomycin production in liquid media containing glucose or glycerol as carbon source. Sporulation of sabR disruption mutants was earlier than the parent strain on solid media with glucose or glycerol as carbon source. However, disruption of sabR had no effect on either nikkomycin production or sporulation on media containing mannitol as carbon source, suggesting that sabR is a pleiotropic regulatory gene that controls the onset of nikkomycin production and sporulation in S. ansochromogenes and is related to the utilization of carbon source.

Structure and function of sawB , a gene involved in differentiation of Streptomyces ansochromogenes

A partial DNA library ofStreptomyces ansochromogenes 7100 was constructed by using plasmid pl J702 as vector and white mutant W19 as recipient. About 3 000 clones were obtained, two of which gave rise to the grey phenotype as wild type 7100. The plasmids were isolated from two transformants. The result indicated that the 5.2 kb and 5.8 kb DNA fragments were inserted into plJ702. The resulting recombinant plasmids were designated as pNL-1 and pNL-2 respectively. The 1.25 kbPstl I -Apa I DNA fragment from pNL-1 was recognized as its complementarity to W19 strain. The nucleotide sequence of the 3.0 kbPst I DNA fragment including 1.25 kb was determined and analyzed. The result indicated that this DNA fragment contains one complete open reading frame (ORF1) which encodes a protein with 295 amino acid residues, and this gene was designated assawB. The deduced protein has 81% amino acid identities in comparison with that encoded bywhiH inStreptomyces coelicolor. The function ofsawB gene was studied by using strategy of gene disruption, and the resultingsawB mutant failed to form spores and produced loosely coiled aerial hyphal. The result showed thatsawB is closely related to hyphal coiling and sporulation in S.ansochromogenes, and also indicated that thesawB can complementwhiH mutant (C119) to restore the grey phenotype ofStreptomyces coelicolor J 1501 (wild type).

Application of lat gene disruption to increase the clavulanic acid production of Streptomyces clavuligerus

A 1.7 kb fragment of lat was obtained from Streptomyces clavuligerus NRRL 3585, and recombinant plasmid pKC1139-lat, which was used to disrupt the lat gene was constructed. pKC1139-lat was introduced into S. clavuligerus by bi-parental conjugation from Escherichia coli ET12567 to S. clavuligerus. The apramcin-resistant transformants were obtained and through homogeneous single-crossover between recombinant plasmid pKC1139-lat and the S. clavuligerus chromosome lat disrupted mutant strains were obtained. The genome of S. clavuligerus NRRL 3585 and the lat disrupted mutants were analyzed by PCR technique, the bioactivity of cephamycin C in the two kinds of strains were also tested. Both results proved that lat was disrupted by the insertion of pKC1139 in the lat disrupted mutants. And the production of clavulanic acid of these two kinds of strains were analyzed by HPLC with different incubation time interval (96 and 120 h), and the yield in the lat mutants was approximately 2.6 fold higher at their highest production point.     

Effects of protein kinase inhibitors on in vitro protein phosphorylation and cellular differentiation of Streptomyces griseus

Summary In vitro phosphorylation reactions using extracts of Streptomyces griseus cells and -[³²P]ATP revealed the presence of multiple phosphorylated proteins. Most of the phosphorylations were distinctly inhibited by staurosporine and K-252a which are known to be eukaryotic protein kinase inhibitors. The in vitro experiments also showed that phosphorylation was greatly enhanced by manganese and inhibition of phosphorylation by staurosporine and K-252a was partially circumvented by 10 mM manganese. A calcium-activated protein kinase(s) was little affected by these inhibitors. Herbimycin and radicicol, known to be tyrosine kinase inhibitors, completely inhibited the phosphorylation of one protein. Consistent with their in vitro effects the protein kinase inhibitors inhibited aerial mycelium formation and pigment production by S. griseus. All these data suggest that S. griseus possesses several protein kinases of eukaryotic type which are essential for morphogenesis and secondary metabolism. In vitro phosphorylation of some proteins in a staurosporine-producing Streptomyces sp. was also inhibited by staurosporine, K-252a and herbimycin, which suggests the presence of a mechanism for self-protection in this microorganism.     

横断山区龙蜥属(Diploderma)物种生境偏好和形态分化

横断山区是全球25个生物多样性热点之一,其生态安全和生物多样性保护备受国内外关注。经济社会发展给横断山区特有龙蜥属动物带来许多新的挑战,大量原始生境被道路修建和水电工程彻底破坏,有些物种甚至在局部地区灭绝。因此及时开展龙蜥保护生态学相关研究,对准确制定保护行动计划非常关键。生境偏好与形态分化是保护生态学研究的重要内容。采用样线和样方法,对横断山区9个龙蜥属物种生境因子进行了测量。同时借助野外标本采集和标本馆标本测量,对19个龙蜥属物种进行了形态量化。采用广义线性混合模型（Generalized Linear Mixed Model,GLMM）和基于系统发育的广义最小二乘法（Phylogenetic Generalized Least-Squares,PGLS）对龙蜥生境偏好和形态学分化进行了分析。结果表明,来自不同生境的龙蜥对生境因子具有特殊的偏好。灌丛型龙蜥更偏好石块灌丛、阳坡、较陡、平均石块粒径较大、温度适中的生境,偏好生境中往往有两头毛（Incarvillea arguta）分布;林地型龙蜥偏好乔木、较陡的上坡位和植被覆盖率高的生境,偏好生境中往往有红花羊蹄甲（Bauhinia×blakeana）分布。从形态分化方面看,灌丛型和林地型龙蜥在体型大小和运动形态方面均发生了明显地分化,对雄性而言,林地型龙蜥尾长、鼻眼距、第4指长以及第4趾爪长大于灌丛型龙蜥,而灌丛型龙蜥吻长和胫骨长大于林地型龙蜥。对雌性而言,尾长、头长、吻长、鼻眼距、第4指长、第4趾长以及第4趾爪长均为林地型龙蜥大于灌丛型。研究为横断山区龙蜥生境偏好和形态分化提供了直接证据,有助于理解龙蜥对干热河谷生境的适应策略,同时为科学制定龙蜥保护计划提供重要支撑。     

Effect of biodelignification of rice straw on humification and humus quality by Phanerochaete chrysosporium and Streptomyces badius

The effect of biodelignification of rice straw by two different ligninolytic organisms, Phanerochaete chrysosporium (white-rot fungus) and Streptomyces badius (actinomycetes), on humus quality was investigated during a 56-day incubation at 30 °C. Lignin degradation, the release of humic extract (HE), humic acid (HA) and fulvic acid (FA), E4/E6 ratio of HA, and humification index (HI, HA/FA) were measured during the incubation. Lignin was degraded by both organisms, but to different extents. Lignin was degraded to 41% and 31% by P. chrysosporium and S. badius, respectively. HE released by P. chrysosporium and S. badius were, respectively, 2.10 and 2.13 times larger than that in the control at the maximum values. A significant correlation between lignin degradation and humus-related parameters involving HA fraction showed that both organisms are converting lignin to humic substances.
