Abstract

Novel cytochrome P450 hydroxylase (CYP) genes were isolated and characterized from P. autotrophica cosmid DNA library using an actinomycete CYP-specific PCR product as a screening probe. The cosmids containing four unique CYP genes (pESK601, 602, 603, 604, 605) were identified, and the four CYP genes were completely sequenced to be homologous to other known Actinomycetes CYP genes involved in various secondary metabolic pathways. Among all novel actinomycete CYP genes found in P. autotrophica, the CYP genes present in pESK601 were revealed to be highly homologous to the CYP genes involved in polyene-type amphotericin and nystatin antibiotic biosynthesis. The nucleotide sequences of the CYP flanking region in pESK601 also revealed the polyene-type biosynthetic genes, implying the presence of a cryptic polyene-type antifungal biosynthetic gene cluster in P. autotrophica.

본 논문에서는 희소 방선균, Pseudonocardia autotrophica(KCTC 9441) 유래 신규 Cytochrome P450 hydroxylase(CYP) 유전자들을 분리하여 염기서열 특성을 규명하였으며, 기존에 밝혀진 다른 방선균 유래 CYP 유전자들과의 연관성을 알아보았다. 이를 위하여 P. autotrophica의 cosmid DNA library를 제작하였고, 방선균에서 발견되는 CYP 유전자군의 보존된 서열로부터 제작된 degenerate primers를 이용한 PCR을 수행하여, P. autotrophica cosmid DNA library를 검색하였다. P. autotrophica cosmid DNA library검색 결과, P. autotrophica에는 염기서열이 서로 다른 4종의 신규 CYP유전자가 존재함이 확인되었으며 (CYP601-1, 601-2, 602, 605), 이들 신규 CYP유전자들은 방선균 유래 2차대사산물의 생합성에 관여하는 CYP유전자와 높은 유사성을 나타냈다. 특히, pESK601에서 확인된 CYP 유전자 및 주변 유전자의 염기서 열을 검색한 결과, polyene 계열의 항진균제, amphotericin과 nystatin의 생합성 유전자들과 매우 높은 유사성을 보임으로써, P. autotrophica에는 신규polyene계열의 항진균제 화합물의 생합성 유전자 군이 존재함도 규명되었다.
