방선균이 생산하는 이차대사산물은 자기조절인자(${\gamma}$-butyrolactone autoregulator)라고 불리는 저분자의 신호전달물질과 이에 특이적으로 결합하는 autoregulator receptor protein의 상호작용에 의해 조절되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러므로 non-host에 autoregulator receptor 혹은 pleiotropic regulator의 발현은 이차대사산물 혹은 새로운 대사화합물의 효율적인 생산을 유도할 것으로 기대된다. 희소방선균 Saccharopolyspora erythreae으로부터 receptor (seaR) 유전자의 기능을 연구하기 위해 다른 속의 균주인 Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)로 seaR 유전자를 삽입하여 형질전환하였다. S. coelicolor A3(2)의 형질전환은 oriT, attP, $ermEp^*$과 seaR gene 단편을 가지고 있는 ${\Phi}C31$ 유래의 integration vector인 pEV615 (6.6 kb)를 이용하여 Escherichia coli ET12567/pUZ8002를 DNA 공여체로 이용한 접합전달법을 사용하여 확립하였다. seaR 유전자의 삽입 유무는 PCR방법으로 확인하였고, seaR 유전자의 전사 발현은 RT-PCR방법으로 확인하였다. S. coelicolor A3(2)의 경우 표현형 microarray 실험을 통하여 seaR 유전자의 발현에 따른 표현형의 변화를 확인하였다. 특히, 표현형 microarray 실험에 나타난 tetracycline 항생제 기질에 대하여 wild type이 transformant에 비해 빠르게 성장하는 것은 항균제 감수성 검사와 일치하였다. 이는 tetracycline 생합성 유전자 및 내성 유전자의 발현 억제에 따른 변화라고 예상할 수 있으며 이를 위하여 tetracycline 생합성 관련 유전자 및 내성 유전자의 발현 패턴 분석등과 같은 분자 수준에서의 연구가 필요할 것으로 생각된다.

RNase E는 대장균(Escherichia coli)에서 수많은 RNA의 가공 및 분해에 관여하는 필수적인 효소이다. RNase E의 효소 활성은 RraA와 RraB에 의해 조절된다. 그람양성균인 Streptomyces coelicolor는 RNase ES, RraAS1, RraAS2라고 명명되는 RNase E와 RraA의 동족체를 가지고 있다. 이 연구에서는 S. coelicolor 유래의 RraAS1이 E. coli에서 RNase E의 효소활성을 저해하는지 연구하였다. 대장균에서 RraAS1의 발현은 RNase E의 과발현에 의해 감소된 세포생장을 더욱 저하시켰으며, RNase E의 기질인 rpsO, ftsZ, rnhB mRNA의 양을 감소시키는 것을 확인 하였다. 이러한 RraAS1의 효과는 공동면역침전실험을 수행한 결과에서 유추할 수 있듯이, Rne 단백질과 RraAS1의 결합으로 유도되는 것으로 보인다. 이러한 결과는 RraAS1이 대장균에서 RNase E의 리보핵산 가수분해 활성을 유도함을 시사한다.

Streptomyces속 균주개발의 수단으로서 이용할 목적으로 원형질체 융합방법의 확립을 시도하였다. 특히 융합빈도를 높이고 실험을 간편화하는데 역점을 두었다. 원형질체의 형성 및 재생빈도는 균의 배양시간에 따라 변하였는데 대수기에서 수확한 균체로부터 가장 높은 빈도의 수율을 얻었다. 원형질체의 형성은 다른 용균효소를 사용하지 않고 Lysozyme 단독처리 만으로도 충분히 가능하였고 원형질체의 세포막 재생은 Monolay법 보다는 Overlay법이 훨씬 좋은 결과를 주었다. Monolay법은 1.8%, Overly법은 14%의 재생빈도를 나타냈다. 본 실험에서 PEG1000 (50% W/V)를 사용한 원형질체 융합방법으로 얻은 S. coelicolor의 재조합체의 빈도는 $1.8 {\times} 10^{-2}$이었다.

The SCO3388 gene from Streptomyces coelicolor is homologous to tmrB, the tunicamycin resistance gene of Bacillus subtilis. The SCO3388-inactivation strain (SY-tbl-1) was generated by replacing SCO3388 with thiostrepton resistance gene. Spores of S. coelicolor derivatives were prepared on mannitol-soy flour (MS) agar on which SY-tbl-1 displayed no significant defect in growth and development. When plated on R4 agar, spores of SYtbl-1 displayed retardation in growth and sporulation, whereas its mycelium gave rise to normal growth. Thus, SCO3388 is suggested to be involved in the dormant spore germination. Expression of SCO3388 under the ermE1 promoter restored but only partially the ability to sporulate in SY-tbl-1. Neither SY-tbl-1 nor SY-tbl-1/ermE1p-SCO3388 showed a difference in tunicamycin resistance to the wild type whereas, interestingly, the introduction of ermE1p-SCO3388 dramatically enhanced spore survival to heat and detergent treatments, suggesting that SCO3388 might play a role in the maintenance of spore cell wall integrity.

The filamentous soil bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor is known to produce four distinct antibiotics. The simultaneous global regulation for the biosynthesis of those four antibiotics was previously confirmed by absA and absB mutations that blocked all four antibiotics' biosynthesis without influencing their morphological differentiation. To study the complex regulatory cascade that controls the secondary metabolism in Streptomyces, a new abs-like mutation was characterized. namely absR, which is slightly leaky on a complete R2YE medium, yet tight on a minimal medium. A genetic analysis of the absR locus indicated that it is located at 10 o'clock on the genetic map, near the site of absA. A cloned copy of the absA gene that encoded bacterial two-component regulatory kinases did not restore antibiotic biosyntheis to the absR mutant. Accordingly, it is proposed that absR is another abs-type mutation which is less tight than the previously identified absA or absB mutations income medium conditions, and can be used to characterize another global regulatory gene for secondary metabolete formation in S. coelicolor.

Doxorubicin, produced by Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952, is tightly regulated by dnrO, dnrN, and dnrI regulators. Genome mining of S. peucetius revealed the presence of the IclR (doxR) type family of transcription regulator mediating the signal-dependent expression of operons at the nonribosomal peptide synthetase gene cluster. Overexpression of doxR in native strain strongly repressed the drug production. Furthermore, it also had a negative effect on the regulatory system of doxorubicin, wherein the transcript of dnrI was reduced to the maximum level in comparision with the other two. Interestingly, the overexpression of the same gene also had strong inhibitory effects on the production of actinorhodin (blue pigment) and undecylprodigiosin (red pigment) in Streptomyces coelicolor M145, herboxidiene production in Streptomyces chromofuscus ATCC 49982, and spinosyn production in Saccharopolyspora spinosa NRRL 18395, respectively. Moreover, DoxR exhibited pleiotropic effects on the production of blue and red pigments in S. coelicolor when grown in different agar media, wherein the production of blue pigment was inhibited in R2YE medium and the red pigment was inhibited in YEME medium. However, the production of both blue and red pigments from S. coelicolor harboring doxR was halted in ISP2 medium, whereas S. coelicolor produced both pigmented antibiotics in the same plate. These consequences demonstrate that the on and off production of these antibiotics was not due to salt stress or media compositions, but was selectively controlled in actinomycetes.

The Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) genome contains six operons (rrnA to F) for ribosomal RNA synthesis. Transcription from rrnD occurs from four promoters (p1 to p4). We found that transcripts from the p1 and p3 promoters were most abundant in vivo in the early exponential phase. However, at later phases of exponential and stationary growth, transcripts from the p1 promoter decreased drastically, with the p3 and p4 transcripts constituting the major forms. Partially purified RNA polymerase supported transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, whereas pure reconstituted RNA polymerase with core enzyme (E) and the major vegetative sigma factor ${\sigma}^{HrdB}$ ($E{\cdot}{\sigma}^{HrdB}$) did not. In order to assess any potential requirement for additional factor(s) that allow transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, we fractionated a partially purified RNA polymerase preparation by denaturing gel filtration chromatography. We found that transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters required factor(s) of about 30-35 kDa in addition to RNAP holoenzyme ($E{\cdot}{\sigma}^{HrdB}$). Therefore, transcription from the p3 and p4 promoters, which contain a consensus -10 region but no -35 for ${\sigma}^{HrdB}$ recognition, are likely to be regulated by transcription factor(s) that modulate RNA polymerase holoenzyme activity in S. coelicolor.

Exogenous S-adenosyl-L-methionine (AdoMet) enhances the production of actinorhodin in Streptomyces coelicolor. Thirty compounds related structurally with AdoMet were tested for their actinorhodin production. The relationships between the structures of the compounds tested and their actinorhodin production were analyzed using computational methods, and the molecules containing both bulky substituents at the C6 position of adenine and the long 5'-alkyl chain of adenosine were predicted to show high actinorhodin production.

Culture pH change has some important roles in signal transduction and secondary metabolism. We have already reported that acidic pH shock enhanced actinorhodin production in Streptomyces coelicolor. Among many potential governing factors on pH variation, the putative $Na^+/H^+$ antiporter (sha) genes in S. coelicolor have been investigated in this study to elucidate the association of the sha on pH variation and secondary metabolism. Through the transcriptional analysis and overexpression experiments on 8 sha genes, we observed that most of the sha expressions were promoted by pH shock, and in the opposite way the pH changes and actinorhodin production were enhanced by the overexpression of each sha. We also confirmed that sha8 especially has a main role in maintaining cell viability and pH homeostasis through $Na^+$ extrusion, in salt effect experiment under the alkaline medium condition by deleting sha8. Moreover, this gene was observed to have a function of pH recovery after pH variation such as the pH shock, being able to cause the sporulation. However, actinorhodin production was not induced by the only pH recovery. The sha8 gene could confer on the host cell the ability to recover pH to the neutral level after pH variation like a pH drop. Sporulation was closely associated with this pH recovery caused by the action of sha8, whereas actinorhodin production was not due to such pH variation patterns alone.
