ORF’s for rubN6 and rubN4 have been annotated as thymidine diphosphate glucose 4-ketoreductase and thymidine diphosphate glucose 3-aminotransferase
by sequence analysis of the rubradirin biosynthetic gene cluster cloned from Streptomyces achromogenes var. rubradiris NRRL 3061. Both ORFs were heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli as His-tagged fusion proteins. The functionalities of TDP-glucose 4-ketoreductase and TDP-glucose 3-aminotransferase were
verified by in vitro enzyme assay, and a biosynthetic pathway for TDP-d-rubranitrose is proposed. 相似文献

Summary A gene conferring high-level resistance to tylosin in Streptomyces lividans and Streptomyces griseofuscus was cloned from a tylosin-producing strain of Streptomyces fradiae. The tylosin-resistance (Tylr) gene (tlrA) was isolated on five overlapping DNA fragments which contained a common 2.6 Kb KpnI fragment. The KpnI fragment contained all of the information required for the expression of the Tylr phenotype in S. lividans and S. griseofuscus. Southern hybridization indicated that the sequence conferring tylosin resistance was present on the same 5 kb SalI fragment in genomic DNA from S. fradiae and several tylosin-sensitive (Tyls) mutants. The cloned tlrA gene failed to restore tylosin resistance in two Tyls mutants derived by protoplast formation and regeneration, and it restored partial resistance in a Tyls mutant obtained by N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) mutagenesis. The tlrA gene conferred resistance to tylosin, carbomycin, niddamycin, vernamycin-B and, to some degree, lincomycin in S. griseofuscus, but it had no effect on sensitivity to streptomycin or spectinomycin, suggesting that the cloned gene is an MLS (macrolide, lincosamide, streptogramin-B)-resistance gene. Twenty-eight kb of S. fradiae DNA surrounding the tlrA gene was isolated from a genomic library in bacteriophage Charon 4. Introduction of these DNA sequence into S. fradiae mutants blocked at different steps in tylosin biosynthesis failed to restore tylosin production, suggesting that the cloned Tylr gene is not closely linked to tylosin biosynthetic genes. 相似文献

Drug discovery relies on the generation of large numbers of structurally diverse compounds from which a potential candidate can be identified. To this end, actinomycetes have often been exploited because of their ability to biosynthesize an impressive array of novel metabolites particularly polyketides. The genetic organization of polyketide synthases (PKSs) makes them readily amenable to manipulation, and thus re-engineering artificial or hybrid PKSs to produce unnatural natural products is a reality. This review highlights two approaches we have used to generate novel polyketides by manipulating genes responsible for starter unit biosynthesis in the Streptomyces maritimus enterocin type II PKS. Our preliminary investigation into the biosynthesis of neomarinone, a rare marine actinomycete-derived meroterpenoid, is also presented. 相似文献

We have analyzed an anthracycline biosynthesis gene cluster fromStreptomyces nogalater. Based on sequence analysis, a contiguous region of 11 kb is deduced to include genes for the early steps in anthracycline biosynthesis, a regulatory gene (snoA) promoting the expression of the biosynthetic genes, and at least one gene whose product might have a role in modification of the glycoside moiety. The three ORFs encoding a minimal polyketide synthase (PKS) are separated from the regulatory gene (snoA) by a comparatively AT-rich region (GC content 60%). Subfragments of the DNA region were transferred toStreptomyces galilaeus mutants blocked in aclacinomycin biosynthesis, and to a regulatory mutant ofS. nogalater. TheS. galilaeus mutants carrying theS. nogalater minimal PKS genes produced auramycinone glycosides, demonstrating replacement of the starter unit for polyketide biosynthesis. The product ofsnoA seems to be needed for expression of at least the genes for the minimal PKS. 相似文献

Streptomyces sp. DSM 41796 produced four major extracellular xylanases with Mr of 145, 120, 60 and 45 kDa. Those of 145 and 60 kDa formed a heterodimer. All xylanases, except that of 120 kDa, were induced by xylose, d-arabinose or sucrose, while commercial xylans induced the 60 kDa xylanase in a major proportion than others, and sugar-cane bagasse pith or lemon peel induced predominantly the 45 kDa xylanase. 相似文献

Functional replacement of the ketosynthase domain of FUM1 for the biosynthesis of fumonisins, a group of fungal reduced polyketides 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The genetic manipulation of the biosynthesis of fungal reduced polyketides has been challenging due to the lack of knowledge on the biosynthetic mechanism, the difficulties in the detection of the acyclic, non-aromatic metabolites, and the complexity in genetically manipulating filamentous fungi. Fumonisins are a group of economically important mycotoxins that contaminate maize-based food and feed products worldwide. Fumonisins contain a linear dimethylated C18 chain that is synthesized by Fum1p, which is a single module polyketide synthase (PKS). Using a genetic system that allows the specific manipulation of PKS domains in filamentous fungus Fusarium verticillioides, we replaced the KS domain of fumonisin FUM1 with the KS domain of T-toxin PKS1 from Cochliobolus heterostrophus. Although PKS1 synthesizes different polyketides, the F. verticillioides strain carrying the chimeric PKS produced fumonisins. This represents the first successful domain swapping in PKSs for fungal reduced polyketides and suggests that KS domain alone may not be sufficient to control the product’s structure. To further test if the whole fumonisin PKS could be functionally replaced by a PKS that has a similar domain architecture, we replaced entire FUM1 with PKS1. This strain did not produce any fumonisin or new metabolites, suggesting that the intrinsic interactions between the intact PKS and downstream enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway may play a role in the control of fungal reduced polyketides. 相似文献

The chromosome of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), a model organism for the genus Streptomyces, contains a cryptic type I polyketide synthase (PKS) gene cluster which was revealed when the genome was sequenced. The ca.
54-kb cluster contains three large genes, cpkA, cpkB and cpkC, encoding the PKS subunits. In
silico analysis showed that the synthase consists of a loading module, five extension modules and a unique reductase as a terminal
domain instead of a typical thioesterase. All acyltransferase domains are specific for a malonyl extender, and have a B-type
ketoreductase. Tailoring and regulatory genes were also identified within the gene cluster. Surprisingly, some genes show
high similarity to primary metabolite genes not commonly identified in any antibiotic biosynthesis cluster. Using western
blot analysis with a PKS subunit (CpkC) antibody, CpkC was shown to be expressed in S. coelicolor at transition phase. Disruption of cpkC gave no obvious phenotype. 相似文献

Traditional methods of species classification and identification of the organism are based on morphological, physiological, biochemical,
developmental and nutritional characteristics. Accurate assignment of taxonomic status to the new biologically active microbial isolates through
existing bioinformatics methods is now very essential and also helpful in chemical characterization of the active molecule produced by
microorganisms. The bacterial strain M4 (ckm7) was isolated from the pre-treated soil sample collected from the agricultural field of Eastern
Uttar Pradesh (U.P.), India and was found to be producing antibacterial and antifungal antibiotics. Taxonomic identification of the isolate belongs
to the genus Streptomyces which was done with the help of sequence analysis and later confirmed by biological activity. Sequence comparison
study of ckm7 showed 98% identical similarity with 16S rRNA gene sequences of Streptomyces spinichromogenes, Streptomyces triostinicus and
Streptomyces capoamus. On the basis of both biological activity and phylogenetic analysis of ckm7, it was concluded that the isolated strain is a
new variant of S. triostinicus. 相似文献

A bacterial strain capable of degrading medium-chain-length polyhydroxyalkanoates (MCL-PHAs) was isolated from a soil sample.
This organism, which was identified as Streptomyces sp. KJ-72, secreted MCL-PHA depolymerase into the culture fluid only when it was cultivated on MCL-PHAs. The extracellular
MCL-PHA depolymerase of the organism was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity by ion exchange column chromatography and
gel filtration. The enzyme consisted of a monomeric subunit having a molecular mass of 27.1 kDa and isoelectric point of 4.7.
The maximum activity was observed at pH 8.7 and 50 °C. The enzyme was sensitive to N-bromosuccinimide and acetic anhydride, indicating the presence of tryptophan and lysine residues in the catalytic domain.
The enzyme was able to hydrolyze various chain-length p-nitrophenyl esters of fatty acids and polycaprolactone as well as various types of MCL-PHAs. However, lipase activity of
the enzyme was not detected. The main hydrolysis product of poly(3-hydroxyheptanoate) was identified to be the dimer of 3-hydroxyheptanoate.

A cluster encoding genes for the biosynthesis of meilingmycin, a macrolide antibiotic structurally similar to avermectin and milbemycin 11, was identified among seven uncharacterized polyketide synthase gene clusters isolated from Streptomyces nanchangensis NS3226 by hybridization with PCR products using primers derived from the sequences of aveE, aveF and a thioesterase domain of the avermectin biosynthetic gene cluster. Introduction of a 24.1-kb deletion by targeted gene replacement resulted in a loss of meilingmycin production, confirming that the gene cluster encodes biosynthesis of this important anthelminthic antibiotic compound. A sequenced 8.6-kb fragment had aveC and aveE homologues (meiC and meiE) linked together, as in the avermectin gene cluster, but the arrangement of aveF (meiF) and the thioesterase homologues differed. The results should pave the way to producing novel insecticidal compounds by generating hybrids between the two pathways. 相似文献

Phylogeny of Streptomyces species and evidence for horizontal transfer of entire and partial antibiotic gene clusters 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The phylogenetic relationships of a collection of streptomycete soil isolates and type strains were resolved by sequence analysis of trpB,a housekeeping gene involved in tryptophan biosynthesis. The analysis confirmed that two isolates were recipients in a gene transfer event, demonstrated by phylogenetic incongruency between trpB and strB1 trees. One strain had acquired the entire streptomycin biosynthetic cluster, whilst the other contained only strRAB1, the resistance gene and two flanking genes from the cluster. Sequence analysis of trpB, as part of a polyphasic approach, was a useful tool in determining intra-generic relationships within the genus Streptomyces. 相似文献

A Streptomyces sp. isolate, from decayed wood shavings, solubilized lignocellulose (LC) and lignin of Pinus radiata, producing about 50 mg acid-precipitable polymeric lignin per g LC. The product was poor in protein and carbohydrates and contained mainly vanillin, guaicol, vanillic and ferulic acids. Hardwood LC is thus suitable for producing APPL as a phenolic chemical feedstock.V.M. Kaluskar is with the Department of Microbiology, J and J Science College, Nadiad 387001, Gujarat, India. B.P.

1444 microorganisms were isolated from soil samples from the northern Thai and screened at 55 °C by using basal medium supplemented with 1% carboxymethyl cellulose as a sole carbon source. One isolate, Streptomyces Ab106, had a high activity of a cellulase-free xylanase also without mannanase activity. The maximum cellulase-free xylanase activities of 3.5, 3.3, 3.1 and 2.7 IU were after growth of the organism with 1% (w/v) corn hull, corncob, bagasse and oat spelt xylan, respectively, at 55 °C for 6 days, respectively. The activity was more than 5 times higher than that at 35 °C. 相似文献

Xylanase and pectinase production by Streptomyces sp. QG-11-3 was stimulated by DL-norleucine, L-leucine, DL-isoleucine, L-lysine monohydrochloride and DL--phenylalanine by up to 3.72- and 2.78-fold, respectively, whereas the combination of DL-norleucine, L-leucine and DL-isoleucine synergistically stimulated the xylanase and pectinase production by up to 6.72- and 5.62-fold, respectively. Glycine, DL-norvaline, DL-methionine, and DL-aspartic acid showed no significant stimulatory effect on enzyme production. 相似文献

The genus Streptomyces is represented in nature by the largest number of species and varieties among the family Actinomycetaceae. They differ greatly in their morphology, physiology, and biochemical activities, producing the majority of known antibiotics. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of 71 Streptomyces spp. isolated from soil samples collected at different places of Venezuela, are presented. A comparative analysis using the statistical software Minitab shows that 67 of these isolates are presumably new strains, since they possess a very low percentage of similarity with other reported species. Only four isolates shared 100% identity with one, two or three reported Streptomyces spp. 相似文献

A Streptomyces sp. was isolated that produced novel thermoalkalotolerant cellulase activity after growth on crystalline cellulose at 50°C.
Three major components of the cellulases (CMCase, Avicelase and cellobiase) were produced with maximal activities (11.8, 7.8
and 3.9 IU/ml) and maximum specific activities 357, 276 and 118 IU/mg protein, respectively, after 120 h growth. Maximum CMCase
activity was between 50 and 60°C measured over 3 h. The enzyme also retained 88% of its maximum activity at 70°C and pH 5,
and 80% of the activity at pH 10 and 50°C when assayed after 1 h. After incubation at 40°C for 1 h with commercial detergent
(Tide) at pH 11, 95% activity was retained. The enzyme mixture produced glucose from crystalline cellulose. 相似文献

Molecular cloning and tissue-specific expression of two cDNAs encoding polyketide synthases from Hypericum perforatum 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two previously uncharacterized cDNAs encoding for polyketide synthases (PKSs), designated as HpPKS1 and HpPKS2, were isolated from Hypericum perforatum. The full-length HpPKS1 was 1573bp containing an open reading frame (ORF) of 1161bp encoding for a 386 amino acid protein. The full-length cDNA of HpPKS2 was 1559bp with an ORF of 1182bp encoding for a 393 amino acid protein. The highly conserved catalytic amino acid residues common to plant-specific PKSs were preserved in both genes. HpPKS1 and HpPKS2 exhibited distinct tissue-specific expression patterns in H. perforatum. The HpPKS1 expression was highest in flower buds and lowest in root tissues. The expression of HpPKS2 was found to be high in flower buds and leaf margins and low in leaf interior parts, stems and roots. The expression of the HpPKS1 was found to correlate with the concentrations of hyperforin and adhyperforin while the expression of HpPKS2 showed correlation with the concentrations of hypericins and pseudohypericins in H. perforatum tissues. 相似文献
