Abstract

In order to study the effect of the receptor protein (SeaR), which is isolated from Saccharopolyspora erythraea, we introduced the SeaR gene to Streptomyces virginiae as host strains. An effective transformation procedure for S. virginiae was established based on transconjugation by Escherichia coli ET12567/pUZ8002 with a ${\varphi}C31$-derived integration vector, pSET152, which contained int, oriT, attP, and $ermEp^{\ast}$ (erythromycin promotor). Therefore, the pEV615 was introduced into S. virginiae by conjugation and integrated at the attB locus in the chromosome of the recipients by the ${\varphi}C31$ integrase (int) function. Transformants of S. virginiae containing the SeaR gene were confirmed by PCR and transcriptional expression of the SeaR gene in the transformants was analyzed by RT-PCR, respectively. And, we examined the production time of virginiamycins in the culture media of both the transformants and the wild type. The production time of virginiamycins in the wild type and transformants was the same. When 100 ng/ml of synthetic $VB-C_6$ was added to the state of 6 or 8 hour cultivation of wild type and transformants, respectively, the virginiamycins production was induced, meaning that the virginiamycins production in the wild type was detected 2 h early than transformants. From these results, SeaR expression was also affected to virginiamycins production in transformants derived from S. virginiae. In this study, we showed that the SeaR protein worked as a repressor in transformants.

본 연구는 희소방선균 Saccharopolyspora erythreae receptor gene (SeaR)의 기능을 연구하기 위해 다른 속의 균주인 Streptomyces virginiae에 SeaR 유전자를 도입하였다. S. virginiae의 형질전환은 oriT, attP, $ermEp^{\ast}$과 SeaR 유전자 단편을 가지고 있는 ${\varphi}C31$ 유래의 integration vector인 pEV615 (6.6 kb)를 이용하여 Escherichia coli ET12567/pUZ8002를 DNA 공여체(donor)로 이용한 접합전달법(conjugal transfer)을 사용하여 확립하였다. SeaR 유전자의 삽입 유무는 PCR방법으로 확인하였고, SeaR 유전자의 전사 발현은 RT-PCR방법으로 확인하였다. S. virginiae의 경우, virginiamycins 생산은 wild type (S. virginiae)와 transformants (C1, C3) 모두 최초생산시기가 14시간으로 같았다. $VB-C_6$ 첨가시기에 따른 항생물질 유도능 확인결과 본 배양 4시간에 $VB-C_6$ 첨가 시 wild type과 transformants (C1, C3) 모두 $VB-C_6$에 의한 virginiamycins 생성이 유도되지 않았다. 본배양 6시간, 8시간에 $VB-C_6$ 첨가하였을 시 $VB-C_6$에 의한 virginiamycins 생성이 유도되는 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 $VB-C_6$에 의한 유도의 경우 S. virginiae 내의 BarA에 의해 VMs 생산시기가 2-4시간 단축되었다고 사료되나, transformants C1, C3의 경우 $VB-C_6$ 첨가 시 virginiamycins 생산이 억제되는 것은 SeaR이 virginiamycins 생합성 유전자에 결합하여 억제자로 기능 한다고 추정 되었다. 이러한 결과로 인하여 외부에서 도입된 SeaR gene이 virginiamycins 생산에 영향을 주는 것으로 확인되었다.
