Most of the biosynthetic pathways for secondary metabolites are influenced by carbon metabolism and supply of cytosolic NADPH. We engineered carbon distribution to the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) and redesigned the host to produce high levels of NADPH and primary intermediates from the PPP. The main enzymes producing NADPH in the PPP, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase (encoded by zwf1 and zwf2) and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (encoded by zwf3), were overexpressed with opc encoding a positive allosteric effector essential for Zwf activity in various combinations in Streptomyces lividans TK24. Most S. lividans transformants showed better cell growth and higher concentration of cytosolic NADPH than those of the control, and S. lividans TK24/pWHM3-Z23O2 containing zwf2+zwf3+opc2 showed the highest NADPH concentration but poor sporulation in R2YE medium. S. lividans TK24/pWHM3-Z23O2 in minimal medium showed the maximum growth (6.2 mg/ml) at day 4. Thereafter, a gradual decrease of biomass and a sharp increase of cytosolic NADPH and sedoheptulose 7-phosphate between days 2 and 4 and between days 1 and 3, respectively, were observed. Moreover, S. lividans TK24/pWHM3-Z23O2 produced 0.9 times less actinorhodin but 1.8 times more undecylprodigiosin than the control. These results suggested that the increased NADPH concentration and various intermediates from the PPP specifically triggered undecylprodigiosin biosynthesis that required many precursors and NADPH-dependent reduction reaction. This study is the first report on bespoke metabolic engineering of PPP routes especially suitable for producing secondary metabolites that need diverse primary precursors and NADPH, which is useful information for metabolic engineering in Streptomyces.

A kanamycin producer, Streptomyces kanamyceticus IFO 13414 is highly resistant to kanamycin. Cloning of the kanamycin resistance genes in S. lividans 1326 with pIJ702 gave several kanamycin resistant transformants. Two transformants, S. lividans SNUS 90041 and S. lividan. SNUS 91051 showed similar resistance patterns to various aminoglycoside antibiotics. Gene mapping experiments revealed that plasmids pSJ5030 and pSJ2131 isolated from the transformants have common resistant gene fragments. Subcloning of pSJ5030 gave a 1.8 Kb gene fragment which showed resistance to kanamycin. Cell free extracts of S. lividans SNUS 90041, S. lividans SNUS 91051 and subclone a S. lividans SNUS 91064 showed kanamycin acetyltransferase activity. The detailed gene map is included.

Cloning of the gene encoding extracellular .betha.-lactamase from Streptomyces sp. SMF13 in a plasmid pIJ702 and expression of the gene in Streptomyces invidans were carried out. Optimal conditions for the formation of protoplasts of S.lividans and the regeneration of the protoplasts were evaluated. Streptomyces sp. SMF-13 was selected as a donor strain of .betha.-lactamase gene and totla DNA of the strain was partially digested with Sau3A I. DNA fragments ranged from 4kb to 10 kb were ligated to pIJ702 AT Bgl II site and then the ligated DNAs were transformed to the protoplasts of S, livivans. The transformation efficiency was $2 *10^{3}$ .$\mu$g DNA for the ligated DNA mixture. One colony among a thousand colonies regenerated showed extracellular .betha.-lactamase and the size of the inserted DNA fragment was estimated to be 3.94 kb. The .betha.-lactamase activity in the culture broth of the recombinant strain was maximum at 3 days culture to be 1.0 unit/ml.

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)

The secE gene of Streptomyces lividans TK24 was cloned by the polymerase chain reaction method with synthetic oligonucleo- tide primers designed on the basis of the nucleotide sequences of Streptomyces coelicolor secE-nusG-rplK operon. The deduced amino acid sequences of the SecE were highly homologous to those of other known SecE protein, that is 36.8%, 30.4%, 80.0%, and 80.9%, similarity to E. coli, Bacillus subtilis, Streptomyces griseus, Streptomyces virginiae SecE, respectively and exactly same with Streptomyces coelicolor SecE. It means that in spite of evolutionary differences, the genes for protein translocation machinery are highly conserved in eubacteria. The gene organization of secE-nusG-rplK is also similar to that of E. coli, B. subtilis, and streptomycetes.

Segregational instability of a recombinant plasmid, pDML6, encoding extracellular $\beta$-lactamase in Streptomyces lividans PD6 was characterized by growth kinetic analysis. The quantitative determination of the plasmid harbored in the mycelia was evaluated with mycelia fragmented mechanically, and also with colonies regenerated from protoplasts. Conditions for the formation of protoplasts and regeneration of protoplasts were established. The maximal specific growth rates of the host strain and the plasmid-harboring strain in a chemically defined medium without selection pressure were the same. The probability of plasmid loss from the harbouring cells was higher at higher growth rates. Mathematical models for the prediction of cell growth, substrate uptake, and accumulation of the cloned gene product were developed.

Genetic determinant for the secondary metabolism was studied in heterologous expression in Streptomyces lividans TK-24 using Streptomyces griseus ATCC 10137 as a donor strain. Chromosomal DNA of S. griseus was ligated into the high-copy number Streptomyces shuttle plasmid, pWHM3, and introduced into S. lividans TK-24. A plasmid clone with 4.3-kb BamHI DNA of S. griseus (pMJJ201) was isolated by detecting for stimulatory effect on actinorhodin production by visual inspection. The 4.3-kb BamHI DNA was cloned into pWHM3 under the control of the strong constitutive ermEp promoter in both directions (pMJJ202); ermEp promoter-mediated transcription for coding sequence reading right to left: pMJJ203; ermEp promoter-mediated transcription for coding sequence reading left to right) and reintroduced into S. lividans TK-24. The production of actinorhodin was markedly stimulated due to introduction of pMJJ202 on regeneration agar. The introduction of pMJJ202 also stimulated production of actinorhodin and undecylproidigiosin in submerged culture employing the actinorhodin production medium. Introduction of pMJJ203 resulted in a marked decrease of production of the two pigments. Nucleotide sequence analysis of the 4.3-kb region revealed three coding sequences: two coding sequences reading left to right, ORF1 and ORF2, one coding sequence reading right to left, ORF3. Therefore, it was suggested that the ORF3 product was responsible for the stimulation of antibiotic production. The C-terminal region of ORF3 product showed a local alignment with Myb-related transcriptional factors, which implicated that the ORF3 product might be a novel DNA-binding protein related to the regulation of secondary metabolism in Streptomyces.

Streptomyces griseus trypsin (SGT)을 코드하는 sprT 유전자와 그 하류에 존재하는 두 개의 조절 유전자 rsgtR1 및 sgtR2를 동시에 갖고 있는 재조합 벡터 pWHM3-TR1R2를 S. lividans TK24 및 S. griseus IFO 13350에 도입하여, 트립신의 생산성을 더욱 증대시킬 수 있는 배지를 조사하였다. S. lividans TK24/pWHM3-TR1R2의 경우 배양 5일을 기준으로 R2YE에서 가장 높은 생산성(0.74 unit/mL)을 나타냈고, C5/L. (0.66 unit/mL), Livid (0.08 unit/mL), NDSK(0.06 unit/mL) 순으로 나타났다 S. griseus IFO 13350/pWHM3-TR1R2의 경우에는 전반적으로 배양 7일에 트립신 활성이 가장 높았으며, C5/L (1.518 unit/mL), R2YE(1.284 unit/mL), NDSK (0.932 unit/mL), Livid (0.295 unit/mL) 순으로 나타났다. S. griseus IFO 13350/pWHM3-TR1R2를 C5/L 배지에서 7일간 배양한 배양액으로부터 $25%{\sim}60%$ ammonium sulfate 침전, CM-sepharose 및 Sp-sepharose column chromatography를 통하여 트립신을 고순도로 정제할 수 있었다. 최종 purification fold는 6.5배, 순수 정제된 트립신의 specific activity는 69,252 unit/mg, 회수율은 1.4%이었다.

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.

Probing Streptomyces albus ATCC 21838 chromosomal DNA with a proline tRNA sequence resulted in an isolation of a putative integrating element in the 6.4-kb EcoRI fragment. It was found that Streptomyces lividans TK-24 transformed with a cloned DNA fragment on a multicopy plasmid, produced a higher level of spore pigment and mycelial red pigment on a regeneration agar. Furthermore, the transformant S. lividans TK-24 produced a markedly increased level of undecylprodigiosin in a broth culture. A nucleotide sequence analysis of the cloned region revealed several open reading frames homologous to the integrases of integrating plasmids or temperate bacteriophages, signal-transducing regulatory proteins with a conserved ATP-binding domain, oxidoreductases ($\beta$-ketoacyl reductase), and an AraC-like transcriptional regulator. To examine the effect on antibiotic production, each coding region was overexpressed separately from the other genes in the region in S. lividans TK-24 with; pJHS3044 for the expression of the signal-transducing regulatory protein homologue, pJHS3045 for the homologue of oxidoreductase, and pJHS3051 for the homologue of the AraC-like transcriptional regulator. Phenotypic studies of S. lividans TK-24 strains harboring plasmids for the overexpression of individual genes suggested the following effects of the genes on antibiotic production: The oxidoreductase homologue stimulated the production of actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin, which was influenced by the culture conditions; the homologue of the AraC-like transcriptional regulator was the most effective factor in antibiotic production within all the culture conditions tested; the signal-transducing regulatory protein homologue repressed the effect due to the homologue of the AraC-like transcriptional regulator, however, the antibiotic production was derepressed upon entering the stationary phase.
