A new method of plasmid DNA transfer from the donor strain Escherichia coli S17-1 to the erythomycin-producing strain Saccharopolyspora erythraea and avermectin-producing strain Streptomyces avermitilis via intergeneric conjugation was proposed. The optimal parameters of the method were chosen for increasing the efficiency of crosses and ensuring easily reproducible results. The behavior of the multicopy plasmid pPM803 and the integration vector pTO1 along with a number of new plasmids specially created by us, was examined in these strains. A new plasmid vector (pSI60) capable of integrating into the chromosome of actinomycetes at the integration site of the temperate actinophage phi C31 was constructed. This vector possesses unique sites convenient for cloning and may be stably maintained in exconjugants of S. avermitilis and in the model strain Streptomyces lividans. The gene encoding resistance to spectinomycin and streptomycin was cloned into the vector pSI60 in this strain. For cloning in strain Sac. erythraea, vectors pSI261-280, which integrate into the chromosome via homology with the cloned DNA and can be stably maintained in exconjugants, were constructed. 相似文献

Streptomyces globisporus1912 produces a novel angucycline antitumor antibiotic landomycin E (LE). To study the LE biosynthetic gene cluster in detail, a system for the conjugal transfer of the integrative plasmid pSET152 fromEscherichia coliinto S. globisporus1912 has been developed. It was shown that this plasmid integrates into two sites of the S. globisporuschromosome and is stably inherited under nonselective conditions. pSET152+exconjugants of the strain 1912 are characterized by a significant decrease in LE synthesis (by 50–90%). A negative effect of pSET152 integration on antibiotic production was observed even upon the use of the recipient strain with increased LE synthesis, although in this case, the level of LE production in exconjugants was 120–150% of that in the original strain 1912. Based on pSET152, a vector system for gene knockouts in S. globisporuswas developed. The effectivity of this system was shown in the example of disruption of the lndAgene encoding the key enzyme of LE synthesis (-ketoacylsynthase). Inactivation of this gene was shown to lead to the cessation of LE biosynthesis. 相似文献

Summary A gene encoding -glucanase activity from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens was subcloned in both orientations into plasmid shuttle vector pSA3. In only one orientation could a co-integrate be generated with the conjugative plasmid pVA797. The plasmid co-integrate was conjugated into Lactobacillus helveticus strain CNRZ450, where it was stably maintained without antibiotic selection and exhibited -glucanase activity. This method of introducing cloned DNA into thermophilic lactobacilli will facilitate the study of heterologous gene expression in non-transformable species.

Summary Polyethylene glycol (PEG) efficiently mediated the transformation ofStreptomyces avermitilis protoplasts by plasmid DNA to yield 107 transformants per g of plasmid DNA. Under conditios in which the maximum transformation frequency was observed, the cotransformation frequency exceeded 10%. The number of transformants increased linearly with the amount of DNA and number ofS. avermitilis protoplasts. Relaxed and supercoiled, but not linear DNA transformed protoplasts efficiently. Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO)-mediated transformation of protoplasts was 1000-fold less efficient. PEG and, less efficiently, DMSO also mediated the transformation of whole cells ofS. avermitilis by DNA. 相似文献

Summary The transmission of the yeast 2 m DNA plasmid has been examined in heterokaryons formed between a haploid donor cell containing the plasmid and a haploid recipient cell lacking the plasmid. Strains lacking the plasmid were mated to donor strains and cytoductants, haploid exconjugants arising from heterokaryons, were selected. The cytoductants bearing the genotype of the recipient cells were then tested for the presence of 2 m DNA. The frequency with which the recipient received plasmid copies varied between 0 and 46%. This frequency depended on the recipient strain but was not highly dependent on whether or not the donor strain carried a kar1 mutation. Exceptional cytoductants, which had acquired a chromosome from the mating partner, were examined and found to have a much greater probability of acquiring plasmid DNA than cytoductants in general. This correlation supports the contention that plasmid copies are associated with the nucleus. In one mating the donor strain contained nearly equal amounts of two physically distinct plasmid types. Of the cytoductants bearing the recipient genotype which had acquired the plasmid during mating, most contained only one of the two plasmid types present in the donor. Analysis of this result using a Poisson distribution indicates that the average number of plasmid copies transmitted between nuclei of a heterokaryon is 0.2. 相似文献

Summary A newly isolated strong Streptomyces promoter (P1) has been cloned in front of the xylA gene of Streptomyces violaceoniger. This led to a strong and constitutive expression. To avoid instability of plasmid and glucose isomerase activity, the P1-xylA gene has been integrated into the chromosome using the integrative vector pTS55. The resultant CBS1 strain has about seven times higher glucose-isomerase activity in absence of xylose compared to that of wild type strain fully induced by xylose. In addition, glucose isomerase specific activity of the CBS1 strain increases in the secondary growth phase, in contrast to wild type strain. 相似文献

Summary A derivative of the IncP-1 plasmid RP1, temperature-sensitive for maintenance, was inserted into the Pseudomonas aeruginosa chromosome by selection for a plasmid marker (carbenicillin resistance) at nonppermissive temperature. In one strain, PAO 1000, the plasmid was stably integrated in the trpA, B gene cluster mapped at 27 min, as shown by the following evidence. (i) Trp+ transductants lost all plasmid markers. (ii) Cleared lysates of PAO 1000 showed no plasmid band typical of the autonomous RP1 in agarose gel electrophoresis. (iii) No transfer of carbenicillin resistance by PAO 1000 was detectable. (iv) PAO 1000 mobilised the chromosome from an origin at, or very near, the plasmid insertion site with high frequency (recovery of proximal markers 10–3 per donor). Matings on the plate with and without interruption of conjugation showed that chromosome transfer was unidirectional. (v) Recombinants from PAO 1000-mediated crosses did not inherit plasmid markers or the trpA, B mutation. A derivative of PAO 1000 was obtained which had lost the Hfr property and all plasmid markers except carbenicillin resistance. This strain (PAO 1001), when carrying the autonomous RP1 plasmid, was capable of unidirectional chromosome mobilisation like PAO 1000, but with 50-fold lower efficiency. We propose that integration of the temperature-sensitive RP1 plasmid in PAO 1000 occurred via transposition of Tnl, the element specifying carbenicillin resistance. 相似文献

Summary Replication of the Streptomyces ghanaensis plasmid pSG5 was shown to be temperature sensitive. The pSG5 replicon is stably inherited at temperatures below 34° C, but is lost at incubation temperatures above this. A family of cloning vectors was constructed using the pSG5 minimal replicon and different marker genes. The vectors obtained are small in size, have an intermediate copy number, possess a broad host range and are compatible with some other streptomycete vector systems. By increasing the incubation temperature, these vectors can be eliminated from their host cells very efficiently. The suitability of the pSG5 vector family for mutating chromosomal genes by gene disruption was demonstrated: pBN10, a pSG5 derivative containing an internal fragment of the phosphinothricyl-alanyl-alanine (PTT) resistance gene pat, was integrated into the chromosomal pat gene of the PTT-producer Streptomyces viridochromogenes thus inactivating PTT resistance. The integrated pBN10 plasmid was rescued from the chromosome, together with an adjacent fragment carrying DNA of the PTT biosynthetic cluster. 相似文献

A new integrative vector (pCJR24) was constructed for use in the erythromycin producer Saccharopolyspora erythraea and in other actinomycetes. It includes the pathway-specific activator gene actII–ORF4 from the actinorhodin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces coelicolor. The actI promoter and the associated ribosome binding site are located upstream of an NdeI site (5′-CATATG-3′) which encompasses the actI start codon allowing protein(s) to be produced at high levels in response to nutritional signals if these signals are faithfully mediated by the ActII–ORF4 activator. Several polyketide synthase genes were cloned in pCJR24 and overexpressed in S. erythraea after integration of the vector into the chromosome by homologous recombination, indicating the possibility that the S. coelicolor promoter/activator functions appropriately in S. erythraea. pCJR24-mediated recombination was also used to place the entire gene set for the erythromycin-producing polyketide synthase under the control of the actI promoter. The resulting strain produced copious quantities of erythromycins and precursor macrolides when compared with wild-type S. erythraea. The use of this system provides the means for rational strain improvement of antibiotic-producing actinomycetes. 相似文献

A Streptomyces bikiniensis DNA fragment complementing a deficiency in streptomycin (Sm) production was cloned on the plasmid vector pIJ385. Host strain S. bikiniensis SD1 used as the recipient in cloning displayed deficiency in biosynthesis of N-methyl-l-glucosamine, one of the moieties of Sm. The cloned fragment on the multicopy plasmid pIJ385 conferred sevenfold increase in Sm production in comparison with the wild-type parental strain. By subcloning, the region complementing the Sm deficiency of SD1 was narrowed to a 3.0-kb fragment. 相似文献

Molecular characterization of a gene from Saccharopolyspora erythraea (Streptomyces erythraeus) which is involved in erythromycin biosynthesis 总被引:11,自引:2,他引:9
A 7.3 kbp DNA fragment, encompassing the erythromycin (Em) resistance gene (ermE) and a portion of the gene cluster encoding the biosynthetic genes for erythromycin biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora erythraea (formerly Streptomyces erythraeus) has been cloned in Streptomyces lividans using the plasmid vector pIJ702, and its nucleotide sequence has been determined using a modified dideoxy chain-termination procedure. In particular, we have examined the region immediately 5′ of the resistance determinant, where the tandem promoters for ermE overlap the promoters for a divergently transcribed coding sequence (ORF). Disruption of this ORF using an integrational pIJ702-based plasmid vector gave mutants which were specifically blocked in erythromycin biosynthesis, and which accumulated 3-O-α-L-mycarosylerythronolide B: this behaviour is identical to that of previously described eryC1 mutants. The eryC1-gene product, a protein of subunit Mr 39200, is therefore involved either as a structural or as a regulatory gene in the formation of the deoxyamino-sugar desosamine or in its attachment to the macro-lide ring. 相似文献

Summary Electroporation was used as a method to transform intact cells of Bacillus thuringiensis and B. cereus. With our optimized method a range of plasmid vectors could be transformed into strains of B. thuringiensis at frequencies of up to 107 transformants/g DNA. This high frequency allows cloning experiments to be bone directly in B. thuringiensis. A bifunctional vector capable of replicating in Escherichia coli and in Bacillus spp. was constructed. The kurhd1 protoxin gene was cloned into this shuttle vector to produce plasmid pXI93, then transformed into B. thuringiensis HDl cryB and B. cereus 569K. The cloned protoxin gene was expressed in sporulating cultures of both strain HD1 cryB (pXI93) and 569K (pXI93), producing crystal protein active in biotests against larvae of Heliothis virescens. This demonstrates the usefulness of the electroporation method for the introduction of cloned toxin genes, in either their native or modified form, into a variety of host strains. 相似文献

Summary A BamHI restriction endonuclease fragment, B7, which is replicated first among all other fragments derived from the Bacillus subtilis chromosome, was cloned in Escherichia coli using as vector a hybrid plasmid pMS102 that can replicate both in E. coli and B. subtilis. Digestion of pMS102 with BamHI produced two fragments and the smaller one was replaced by the B7 fragment.The cloned plasmid pMS102-B7 exhibited some peculiar properties that were not observed with plasmids containing other fragments from the B. subtilis chromosome. (1) E. coli cells harboring this plasmid stuck to each other and to glass. This property was more apparent when cells were grown in poor media. (2) E. coli cells tended to lose the plasmid spontaneously when they were grown without the selective pressure favorable to the plasmid. (3) The frequency of transformation of B. subtilis by pMS102-B7 was less than 1/1,000 of that by the vector plasmid pMS102. The number of copies of pMS102-B7 present in the transformants was also markedly reduced, although the pUB110 origin of replication on the vector was intact and should be functional in B. subtilis. This inhibitory effect of the B7 fragment on plasmid replication was confirmed more directly by developing a semi in vitro replication system using protoplasts.Both in E. coli and B. subtilis the B7 fragment affected replication of its own molecule but not that of the coexisting plasmid with an identical replication system. The implication of the function of the B7 fragment in the initiation of the B. subtilis chromosome will be discussed. 相似文献

An S-adenosylmethionine synthetase (SAM-s) gene from Streptomyces spectabilis was integrated along with vector DNA into the chromosome of a Saccharopolyspora erythraea E2. Elevated production of SAM was observed in the recombinant strain Saccharopolyspora erythraea E1. The results from the bioassay showed that the titer of erythromycin was increased from 920 IU ml−1 by E2 to approximately 2,000 IU ml−1 by E1. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis revealed that there was a 132% increase in erythromycin A compared
with the original strain, while the erythromycin B, the main impurity component in erythromycin, was decreased by 30%. The
sporulation process was inhibited, while the SAM-s gene was expressed. The addition of the exogenous SAM also inhibited sporulation
and promoted an increase in erythromycin titers.

Development of natural products for therapeutic use is often hindered by limited availability of material from producing organisms.
The speed at which current technologies enable the cloning, sequencing, and manipulation of secondary metabolite genes for
production of novel compounds has made it impractical to optimize each new organism by conventional strain improvement procedures.
We have exploited the overproduction properties of two industrial organisms—Saccharopolyspora erythraea and Streptomyces fradiae, previously improved for erythromycin and tylosin production, respectively—to enhance titers of polyketides produced by genetically
modified polyketide synthases (PKSs). An efficient method for delivering large PKS expression vectors into S. erythraea was achieved by insertion of a chromosomal attachment site (attB) for φC31-based integrating vectors. For both strains, it was discovered that only the native PKS-associated promoter was
capable of sustaining high polyketide titers in that strain. Expression of PKS genes cloned from wild-type organisms in the
overproduction strains resulted in high polyketide titers whereas expression of the PKS gene from the S. erythraea overproducer in heterologous hosts resulted in only normal titers. This demonstrated that the overproduction characteristics
are primarily due to mutations in non-PKS genes and should therefore operate on other PKSs. Expression of genetically engineered
erythromycin PKS genes resulted in production of erythromycin analogs in greatly superior quantity than obtained from previously
used hosts. Further development of these hosts could bypass tedious mutagenesis and screening approaches to strain improvement
and expedite development of compounds from this valuable class of natural products. 相似文献

Summary We have constructed /SPP1 hybrid phages by in vitro ligation of EcoRI fragments of the Bacillus subtilis phage SPP1 DNA to a lambdoid bacteriophage vector. EcoRI digestion of SPP1 generated 15 DNA fragments of which 13 could be cloned. The SPP1 DNA of such hybrids was stably maintained and replicated in Escherichia coli, as indicated by marker rescue experiments in B. subtilis. EcoRI fragment 1 of SPP1 could not be cloned although subfragments of fragment 1 resulting from spontaneous deletions which occurred during the cloning regime were consistently obtained. A region within EcoRI fragment 1 responsible for its incompatibility with replication in E. coli was defined by these experiments.Part of this work was taken from the doctoral thesis of E.P.A. submitted to the Freie Universität, Berlin 1979 相似文献

Summary Fragments of the E. coli chromosome that carry the dnaB groPB534 or groPB612 alleles have been cloned into a cosmid vector. The resulting recombinant plasmids contained the genes uvrA, groP (B534 or B612), and lexA. Further subcloning into high copy number plasmids, during which the uvrA and lexA genes were removed successively, yielded a groPB534 and groPB612 DNA fragment of about 2.4 kb each. Both fragments contained an overlapping 1.8 kb segment of DNA in which the sites of all restriction enzymes tested were identical. The size of these dnaB gene fragments were further delimited by deletion analysis.In E. coli groPB534 in which wild-type and A mutants do not replicate (Georgopoulos and Herskowitz 1971) phage replication is rescued if the strain contains the groPB534 gene on high copy number plasmids. On the contrary, in E. coli groPB612, which is temperature-sensitive for its groP character, replication of and A is abolished at 30° C if the strain contains the groPB612 recombinant plasmid. On the other hand, replication of B remains unaffected whether or not the groP strains harbor the isogenic dnaB gene-containing plasmid. The results suggest that within the cell not only the quality but also the relative amounts of dnaB and P protein are crucial for phage replication. 相似文献

Summary A number of deletions in the glucose kinase (glk) region of the Streptomyces coelicolor chromosome were found among spontaneous glk mutants. The deletions were identified by probing Southern blots of chromosomal DNA from glk mutants with cloned glk DNA. The deletions ranged in size from 0.3 kb to greater than 2.9 kb. When cloned glk DNA was introduced on a C31 phage vector into a glk mutant that contained a deletion of the entire homolgous chromosomal glk region, glucose kinase activity was detected in extracts of these cells. The entire coding information for at least a subunit of glucose kinase is there-fore present on the cloned glk DNA. The 0.3 kb glk chromosomal deletion was used to demonstrate that transfer of chromosomal glk mutations on the the C31::glk phage could occur by recombination in vivo. Since glk mutations frequently arise from deletion events, a method was devised for inserting the cloned glk DNA at sites in the chromosome for which cloned DNA is available, and thus facilitating the isolation of deletions in those DNA regions. C31::glk vectors containing a deletion of the phage att site cannot lysogenize S. coelicolor recipients containing a deletion of the glk chromosomal gene unless these phages contain S. coelicolor chromosomal DNA. In such lysogens, the glk gene becomes integrated into the chromosome by homologous recombination directed by the chromosomal insert on the phage DNA. In appropriate selective conditions, mutants which contain deletions of the glk gene that extend into the adjacent host DNA can be easily isolated. This method was used to insert glk into the methylenomycin biosynthetic genes, and isolate derivatives with deletions of host DNA from within the prophage into the adjacent host DNA. Phenotypic and Southern blot analysis of the deletions showed that there are no genes essential for methylenomycin biosynthesis for at least 13 kb to the left of a region concerned with negative regulation of methylenomycin biosynthesis. Many of the deletions also removed part of the C31 prophage. 相似文献

Influence of cloned regulatory genes on nogalamycin biosynthesis by Streptomyces nogalater LV65 strain has been studied. Gene snorA from the S. nogalater genome was cloned in multicopy replicative plasmid pSOKA and integrative plasmid pR3A. Introduction of these plasmids into
S. nogalater wild type cells resulted in enhanced nogalamicin biosynthesis. A similar effect was observed at heterologous expression of
gene (p)ppGpp-synthetase gene relA cloned from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Heterologous expression of genes absA2 from Streptomyces ghanaensis ATCC14672 and lndYR from genome Streptomyces globisporus 1912 decreased synthesis of antibiotic. The study results indicate the presence of homologs of these genes in chromosome
of S. nogalater, their possible participation in regulation of nogalamicin biosynthesis, and provide us with a possibility for genetic design
of the strains with higher synthesis of this antibiotic. 相似文献
