Streptoalloteichus hindustanus ATCC 31219, a nebramycin complex producer, is similar to Streptomyeces tenebrarius in a viewpoint of resistance to a wide range of aminoglycoside antibiotics. S. tenebrarius has resistance mechanisms of 16s rRNA methylation and aminogycoside modification. However, it is not known whether resistance mechanisms of Stall. hindustanus are the same as in S. tenebrarius. Therefore, we have tried to isolate resistance determinants from Stall. hindustanus. Two different types of aminoglycoside resistance determinants were isolated from Stall. hindustanus and expressed in Streptomyces lividans TK24. The apramycin resistance gene (amr) and the tobramycin resistance gene (tmr) isolated from Stall. hindustanus showed broad resistance spectrum against a dozen of aminoglycoside antibiotics. The complete nucleotide sequences of apramycin resistance gene (amr) were determined. The deduced amino acid sequence of the amr gene of Stall hindustanus ATCC 31219 showed extensive sequence homology to the 16s rRNA methylase gene (kamB) of S. tenebrarius.

Tobramycin 고생산성 변이주를 쉽고 신속하게 선별하 수 있는 screening 방법을 개발하였다. 고농도의 apramycin이 포함된 배지를 사용함으로서 nebramycin 생산성이 낮은 변이주들은 1차적으로 제거할 수 있었다. 모균주인 S. tenerbarius ATCC 17920에는 저지환을 나타내지 못하고 생산성이 향상된 변이주의 경우에만 저지환을 형성하는 strain No.23을 토양으로부터 분리하여 Ps. paucimobilis로 동정하였고 1차 선별된 변이주들 중 tobramycin 생산성이 높은 균주들을 선별하기 위한 피검균으로 사용하였다. 이러한 screening 전략으로 strain No.23에 명확히 저지환을 나타내는 변이주 58주를 얻었고, HPLC를 이용하여 각 변이주의 tobramycin 생산성을 비교 측정한 결과 모균주에 비해 3-8배 생산성이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

The aminoglycoside multiple-resistance determinant from Streptoalloteichus hindustanus was cloned into Streptomyces lividans and named nbrB. The 1.2-kb ApaI- BclI fragment encompassing nbrB was located within a 2.6-kb ApaI fragment by successive subcloning experiments. The complete DNA nucleotide sequence of 1.2-kb containing nbrB was determined. The sequence contains an open reading frame that putatively encodes a polypeptide of 281 amino acids with a predicted molecular weight of 30,992. The deduced amino acid sequence of nbrB shows identities of 85.1% to kgmB of S. tenebrarius, 59.6% to sgm of Micromonospora zionensis, and 57.7% to grm of M. rosea. The similarity of nbrB to kgmB suggests that nbrB encodes a 16S rRNA methylase similar to that encoded by kgmB and that both genes might be derived from a common ancestral gene.
