  • Streptomyces lividans is one of the most commonly-used streptomyetes strain as a molecular cloning and expression host. Unlike its close relative S. coelicolor, however, S. lividans rarely produces secondary metabolite such as actinorhodin in a typical glucose-containing culture condition due to insufficient expression of some antibiotic regulatory genes including afsR2. Although multiple copies of afsR2 or a glycerol-specific culture condition stimulated actinorhodin production in S. lividans, both failed to stimulate actinorhodin production in S. lividans cultured in a typical glucose-containing medium. To generate a culture-condition-independent actinorhodin-overproducing S. lividans strain the afsR2 gene was integrated into the S. lividans TK21 chromosome via homologous recombination, followed by the genetic confirmation. This S. lividans strain produced a significant amount of actinorhodin in both glucose-containing liquid and plate cultures, with higher actinorhodin productivity compared to the S. lividans containing multiple copies of afsR2. These results suggest that a chromosomal integration of a single copy of an antibiotic regulatory gene is a promising method for the development of a stable antibiotic-overproducing streptomycetes strain.

  • 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.

  • While the biosynthetic gene cluster encoding the pigmented antibiotic actinorhodin is present in the two closely related bacterial species, Streptomyces lividans and Streptomyces coelicolor, it normally is expressed only in S. coelicolor---generating the deep blue colonies responsible for the S. coelicolor name. However, multiple copies of the afsR2 gene, which activates actinorhodin synthesis, result in the ability of S. lividansto also synthesize large amounts of actinorhodin. Here we report that the phenotypic property that historicially distinguishes these two Streptomycesspecies is determined conditionally by the carbon source used for culture. Whereas growth on glucose repressed actinorhodin production in S. lividans, culture on solid media containing glycerol as the sole carbon source dramatically increased the expression of afsR2 mRNA---leading to extensive actinorhodin synthesis by S. lividansand obliterating its phenotypic distinction from S. coelicolor. afsR2 transcription under these conditions was developmentally regulated, rising sharply at the time of aerial mycelium formation and coinciding temporally with the onset of actinorhodin production. Our results, which identify media-dependent parallel pathways that regulate actinorhodin synthesis in S. lividans, demonstrate carbon source control of actinorhodin production through the regulation of afsR2 mRNA synthesis. The nucleotide sequences of afsR2 revealed two putative important domains; the domain containing direct repeats in the middle and the domain homologous to sigma factor sequence in the C-terminal end. In this work, we constructed various sized afsR2-derivatives and compared the actinorhodin stimulating effects in S. lividans TK21. The experimental data indicate that the domain homologous to sigma factor sequence in the C-terminal end of afsR2 plays a critical role as an antibiotic stimulating function. In addition, we also observed that the single copy integration of afsR2 regulatory gene into S. lividans TK21 chromosome significantly activates antibiotic overproduction.

  • An actinorhodin nonproducing Streptomyces lividans was converted to an actinorhodin overproducer through a single chromosomal integration of an antibiotic regulatory gene, afsR2. This strain exhibited early actinorhodin production and an average of 37.5% higher productivity than the S. lividans containing multiple copies of afsR2 plasmid in a glucose-containing liquid culture.

  • It is known that overexpression of S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM) synthetase or exogenous addition of SAM enhances the production of actinorhodin, one of pigmented antibiotics found from Streptomyces coelicolor. In order to discover a novel compound as a signal molecule to produce actinorhodin instead of SAM, several compounds were synthesized based on the relationships between structures of the SAM analogues and their actinorhodin productivities. Of these, a few compounds showed better productivities of actinorhodin than SAM.

  • Actinorhodin antibiotics produced by Streptomyces lividans TK24 are blue pigments with a weak antibiotic activity, derived from one acetyl-CoA and 15 malonyl-CoA units via a typical ployketide pathway. In an attempt to clone polyketide biosynthetic genes of S. lividans TK24, hybridizing fragments in the genomic DNA of S. lividans TK24 were detected by use of acn and act III polyketide synthase gene probes. Since typical aromatic polyketide bio-synthetic gene clusters are roughly 22-34 Kb long, we constructed in E. coli XL-Blue MR using the Streptomyces-E. coli bifunctional shuttle cosmid vector (pojn46). Then, about 5,000 individual E. coii colonies were thor-oughly screened with acrl-ORFI and actIII probes. From these cosmid libra-ries, 12 positive clones were identified. Restriction analysis and southern hybridization showed two polyketide biosynthetic gene clusters in this organism. These cosmid clones can be transformed into Streptomyces parvulus 12434 for expression test that identify product of actinorhodin biosynthetic genes by heterologous expression. Thus, heterologous expres-sion of a derivative compound of a actinorhodin biosynthetic intermediate was obtained in pKE2430. Expression of these compounds by the trans-formants was detected by photodiode array HPLC analysis of crude extracts.

  • ATP와 L-methionine으로부터 SAM synthetase (MetK)에 의해 생합성 되는 S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)은 세포내 메틸화에 필요한 메틸기를 제공하는 중심적인 공급체의 역할을 할뿐만 아니라 방선균에서는 일차 및 이차대사산물의 생산 조절에 관여하고 있다는 사실이 밝혀졌다. 이에 논 연구에서는 산업적으로 매우 중요한 항진균성 항생물질인 natamycin을 생산하는 S. natalensis로부터 SAM synthetase 코드하는 metK 유전자를 클로닝하고 동정하였다. S. natalensis에서 클로닝된 metK는 1,209 bp의 염기를 가진 유전자로써 아미노산서열에서 S. pristinaespiralis ATCC 25486과 S. peucetius ATCC 27952의 MetK와 96%, S. violaceusniger Tu 4113과 95% 일치하는 매우 높은 상동성을 보였다. 또 pSET152ET 벡터를 이용해 구축한 metK 고발현용 재조합 플라스미드 pCD1를 S. lividans TK24의 genomic DNA에 도입하여 actinorhodin 생산 유도를 시도해 본 결과 R5 고체배지에서 pCD1이 도입되지 않은 균주에서는 actinorhodin 생산을 전혀 확인할 수 없었지만 pCD1이 도입된 형질전환체에서는 actinorhodin 생산이 강하게 유도되었으며 R4 액체배지에서는 actinorhodin 생산량이 10배 증가되었다. 따라서 본 연구를 통해 클로닝된 S. natalensis 유래 metK 유전자는 방선균에서 이차대사산물의 생산을 유도할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • SCO6993 (606 amino acids) in Streptomyces coelicolor belongs to the large ATP-binding regulators of the LuxR family regulators having one DNA-binding motif. Our previous findings predicted that SCO6993 may suppress the production of pigmented antibiotics, actinorhodin, and undecylprodigiosin, in S. coelicolor, resulting in the characterization of its properties at the molecular level. SCO6993-disruptant, S. coelicolor ΔSCO6993 produced excess pigments in R2YE plates as early as the third day of culture and showed 9.0-fold and 1.8-fold increased production of actinorhodin and undecylprodigiosin in R2YE broth, respectively, compared with that by the wild strain and S. coelicolor ΔSCO6993/SCO6993+. Real-time polymerase chain reaction analysis showed that the transcription of actA and actII-ORF4 in the actinorhodin biosynthetic gene cluster and that of redD and redQ in the undecylprodigiosin biosynthetic gene cluster were significantly increased by SCO6993-disruptant. Electrophoretic mobility shift assay and DNase footprinting analysis confirmed that SCO6993 protein could bind only to the promoters of pathway-specific transcriptional activator genes, actII-ORF4 and redD, and a specific palindromic sequence is essential for SCO6993 binding. Moreover, SCO6993 bound to two palindromic sequences on its promoter region. These results indicate that SCO6993 suppresses the expression of other biosynthetic genes in the cluster by repressing the transcription of actII-ORF4 and redD and consequently negatively regulating antibiotic production.
