Erro-prone PCR에 의해서 열안정성이 향상된 Streptomyces coelicolor A(3) 유래의 L-threonine aldolase를 Corynebacterium glutamicum R에서 과잉발현시키기 위하여 Corynebacterium용 vector plasmid인 pCRB1의 SD배열과 개시코든사이의 1염기를 제거한 고발현용 vector plasmid인 pCG-H44(2)를 구축하였다. pCG-H (2)에 의해서 형질전환된 C. glutamicum R 균주(CGH44-2)에서 L-TA를 발현시킨 결과, 기존의 Corynebacterium용 vector plasmid인 pCRB1(CGH44-1)보다 L-TA의 발현량이 높았다. L-threo-DOPS의 합성을 위한 최적조건은 $30^{\circ}C$, 0.1 M cirtric acid buffer(pH 7.0)이었으며, 0.1% TritonX-100를 첨가하였을 경우 보다 높은 활성을 보였다. 최적조건하에서 CGH44-2를 whole cell biocatalyst로 이용한 반복회분식반응에서 재조합대장균을 숙주로 이용한 경우보다 재조합Corynebacterium을 이용하였을 경우, 목적하는 L-threo-DOPS의 합성이 안정적으로 이루어졌다.

Mutants blocked at the earliest stages of morphological development in Streptomyces species are called bld mutants. We have cloned bldB gene ORF from Slividans. Genomic Southern blot analysis for main strains S.lividans, S.seoulensis, S.coelicolor A3(2), and S.griseus indicated that bldB gene is conserved in all main Streptomyces strains.(omitted)

We identified a 1,134-bp putative type III polyketide synthase from the sequence analysis of Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952, named Sp-RppA, which is characterized as 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene synthase and shares 33% identity with SCO1206 from S. coelicolor A3(2) and 32% identity with RppA from S. griseus. The 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene synthase is known to catalyze the sequential decarboxylative condensation, intramolecular cyclization, and aromatization of an oligoketide derived from five units of malonyl-CoA to give 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxynaphthalene, which spontaneously oxidizes to form 2,5,7-trihydroxy-1,4-naphthoquinone (flaviolin). In this study, we report the in vivo expression and in vitro synthesis of flaviolin from purified gene product (Sp-RppA).

S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM) is a ubiquitous biomolecule serving mainly as a methyl donor. Our recent studies revealed that SAM controls antibiotic production in Streptomyces. In this study, the functional mode of SAM was studied in S. coelicolor and S. antibioticus ATCC11891, employing S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), a methylation reaction product of SAM. Actinorhodin biosynthesis did not require SAM as a methyl donor, whereas SAH enhanced the actinorhodin biosynthesis up to the level comparable to SAM, and the most effective concentration of SAH was higher than that of SAM. In the case of oleandomycin that requires SAM for its biosynthesis, both SAM and SAH at the concentration as low as 100 mM showed comparable efficacy in enhancing the production; SAM at 1 mM concentration additionally stimulated to give a 5-fold enhancement of oleandomycin production. In vitro autophosphorylation of protein kinase AfsK was found to be activated by both SAM and SAH, as well as other structurally related compounds. Our studies demonstrate that SAM regulates antibiotic biosynthesis in a mode independent of its role as a methyl donor and suggest that SAM acts directly as an intracellular signaling molecule for Streptomyces.

AfsR2 과발현 S. lividans TK21을 이용하여 DNA microarray를 수행하였다. 그 결과, phosphate starvation과 관련 있는 42개의 유전자들이 up-regulated 되었으며, 특히 SCO4139 (pstB, phosphate ABC transport system ATP-binding protein)와 SCO4142 (pstS, phosphate-binding protein precursor)는 afsR2가 phosphate와 같은 nutrient starvation에 적극적으로 관여한다는 것을 나타내며, SCO4228 (putative phosphate transport system regulatory protein)은 기존에 수행되었던 2D-electrophoresis 연구나 afsS null S. coelicolor를 이용한 DNA microarray 연구에서도 공통적으로 보고되었던 유전자로서 phosphate lilitation에 대한 afsR2의 효과가 지속적으로 검증되고 있음을 뜻한다. 또한 afsR2 과발현을 통해서 sigma factor인 SCO2954 (sigL)과 SCO5147 (sigE)의 발현이 유도되었으며 두 유전자의 구조적인 특징을 고려해 보았을 때 afsR2가 RNA polymerase와의 linker로서의 역할을 추측해 볼 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라 whi 관련 유전자들의 발현 또한 afsR2에 의해 증가되었다. 이는 afsR2가 단순히 2차 대사물질 생합성 조절에만 관여하는 것이 아니라 형태적 분화에 작용함으로써 최종적으로 여러 2차 대사물질의 합성을 유도한다고 말할 수 있다. 이러한 결과들을 토대로 afsR2가 기존에 항생제 생합성에만 관여하는 global regulatory 조절인자가 아닌 방선균이 stationary phase로 전환되는 시점에서 형태적 분화에 영향을 미치고 phosphate limitation stress를 줄여주는 2차 대사의 key-factor regulatory 유전자임을 알 수 있다.

Because of their selectivity and catalytic efficiency, BVMOs are highly valuable biocatalysts for the chemoenzymatic synthesis of a broad range of useful compounds. In this study, we investigated the microbial Baeyer-Villiger oxidation and sulfoxidation of thioanisole and bicyclo[3.2.0]hept-2-en-6-one using whole Escherichia coli cells that recombined with each of the Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases originated from Pseudomonas aeruginosa PAOl and two from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The three BVMOs were identified in the microbial genome database by a recently described protein sequence motif; e.g., BVMO motif(FXGXXXHXXXW). The reaction products were identified as (R)-/(S)-sulfoxide and 2-oxabicyclo/3-oxabicyclo[3.3.0]oct-6-en-2-one by GC-MS analysis. Consequently, this study demonstrated that the three enzymes can indeed catalyze the Baeyer-Villiger reaction as a biocatalyst, and effective annotation tools can be efficiently exploited as a source of novel BVMOs.

Streptomyces avermitilis produces clinically useful drugs such as avermectins and oligomycins. Its genome contains approximately 33 cytochrome P450 genes and they seem to play important roles in the biosynthesis of many secondary metabolites. The SAV_7130 gene from S. avermitilis encodes CYP158A3. The amino acid sequence of this enzyme has high similarity with that of CYP158A2, a biflaviolin synthase from S. coelicolor A3(2). Recombinant S. avermitilis CYP158A3 was heterologously expressed and purified. It exhibited the typical P450 Soret peak at 447 nm in the reduced CO-bound form. Type I binding spectral changes were observed when CYP158A3 was titrated with myristic acid; however, no oxidative product was formed. An analog of flaviolin, 2-hydroxynaphthoquinone (2-OH NQ) displayed similar type I binding upon titration with purified CYP158A3. It underwent an enzymatic reaction forming dimerized product. A homology model of CYP158A3 was superimposed with the structure of CYP158A2, and the majority of structural elements aligned. These results suggest that CYP158A3 might be an orthologue of biflaviolin synthase, catalyzing C-C coupling reactions during pigment biosynthesis in S. avermitilis.

The relationship between morphological differentiation and production of trypsin-like protease (TLP_ in streptomycetes was studied. All the Streptomyces spp.In this study produced TLP just before the onset of aerial mycelium formation. Addition of TLP inhibitor, TLCK, to the top surface of colonies inhibited aerial mycelium formation as well as TLP inhibitor, TLCK, to the top surface of colonies inhibited aerial mycelium formation as well as TLP activity. Addition of 2% glucose to the Bennett agar medium repressed both the aerial mycelium formation and TLP production in S. abuvaviensis, S. coelicolor A3(2), S exfoliatus, S. microflavus, S. roseus, s. lavendulae, and S. rochei. However the addition of glucose did not affect S. limosus, S. felleus, S. griseus, S. phaechromogenes, and S. rimosus. The glucose repression on aerial mycelium formation and production of TLP was relieved by the addition of glucose anti-metabolite (methyl .alpha.-glucopyranoside). Therefore, it was concluded that TLP production is coordinately regulated with morphological differentiation and TLP activity is essential for morphological differentiation in streptomycetes. The proposed role of TLP is that TLP participates in the degradation of substrate mycelium protein for providing nutrient for aerial mycelial growth.

Sequence analysis of the metabolically rich genome of Streptomyces peucetius ATCC 27952 revealed a 2,199 bp sesquiterpene alcohol (germacradienol) synthase-encoding gene from the germacradienol synthase/terpene cyclase gene cluster. The gene was named spterp13, and its putative function is as a germacradienol synthase/terpene cyclase. The amino acid sequence of Spterp13 shows 66% identity with SAV2163 (GeoA) from S. avermitilis MA4680 and 65% identity with SCO6073 from S. coelicolor A3(2), which produces germacradienol/geosmin. The full-length recombinant protein was heterologously expressed as a his-tagged fusion protein in Escherichia coli, purified, and shown to catalyze the $Mg^{2+}$-dependent conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to the germacradienol, which was verified by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.

Structurally, herboxidiene contains the tetrahydropyran acetic acid moiety and a side chain including a conjugated diene, and has been isolated from Streptomyces chromofuscus ATCC 49982. Its production was significantly elevated nearly 13.5-fold (0.74 g/l) in a medium supplemented with glycerol (medium No. 6A6), and was more efficacious (1.08 g/l; 19.8-fold) in fed-batch fermentation at 36 h in medium No. 6A6, from Streptomyces chromofuscus. For further enhancement, regulatory genes metK1-sp and afsR-sp from Streptomyces peucetius were overexpressed using an expression vector, pIBR25, and similarly ACCase from Streptomyces coelicolor and two genes, metK1-sp and afsR-sp, were also overexpressed using an integration vector, pSET152, under the control of the strong $ermE^*$ promoter in Streptomyces chromofuscus. Only the recombinant strains S. chromofuscus SIBR, S. chromofuscus GIBR, and S. chromofuscus AFS produced more herboxidiene than the parental strain in optimized medium No. 6A6 with an increment of 1.32-fold (0.976 g/l), 3.85-fold (2.849 g/l), and 1.7-fold(1.258 g/l) respectively.
