Genomic Insights and Synthetic Biology Applications of Marine Actinomycete Streptomyces griseoincarnatus HNS054.

ABSTRACT: The marine bacterium Streptomyces sp. HNS054 shows promise as a platform for producing natural products. Isolated from a marine sponge, HNS054 possesses several desirable traits for bioengineering: rapid growth, salt tolerance, and compatibility with genetic tools. Its genome contains 21 potential biosynthetic gene clusters, offering a rich source of natural products. We successfully engineered HNS054 to increase the production of aborycin and actinorhodin by 4.5-fold and 1.2-fold, respectively, compared to S. coelicolor M1346 counterparts. With its unique features and amenability to genetic manipulation, HNS054 emerges as a promising candidate for developing novel marine-derived drugs and other valuable compounds.

Project description:With the development of synthetic biology in the field of (actinobacterial) specialized metabolism, new tools are needed for the design or refactoring of biosynthetic gene clusters. If libraries of synthetic parts (such as promoters or ribosome binding sites) and DNA cloning methods have been developed, to our knowledge, not many vectors designed for the flexible cloning of biosynthetic gene clusters have been constructed. We report here the construction of a set of 12 standardized and modular vectors designed to afford the construction or the refactoring of biosynthetic gene clusters in Streptomyces species, using a large panel of cloning methods. Three different resistance cassettes and four orthogonal integration systems are proposed. In addition, FLP recombination target sites were incorporated to allow the recycling of antibiotic markers and to limit the risks of unwanted homologous recombination in Streptomyces strains when several vectors are used. The functionality and proper integration of the vectors in three commonly used Streptomyces strains, as well as the functionality of the Flp-catalyzed excision, were all confirmed. To illustrate some possible uses of our vectors, we refactored the albonoursin gene cluster from Streptomyces noursei using the BioBrick assembly method. We also used the seamless ligase chain reaction cloning method to assemble a transcription unit in one of the vectors and genetically complement a mutant strain.IMPORTANCE One of the strategies employed today to obtain new bioactive molecules with potential applications for human health (for example, antimicrobial or anticancer agents) is synthetic biology. Synthetic biology is used to biosynthesize new unnatural specialized metabolites or to force the expression of otherwise silent natural biosynthetic gene clusters. To assist the development of synthetic biology in the field of specialized metabolism, we constructed and are offering to the community a set of vectors that were intended to facilitate DNA assembly and integration in actinobacterial chromosomes. These vectors are compatible with various DNA cloning and assembling methods. They are standardized and modular, allowing the easy exchange of a module by another one of the same nature. Although designed for the assembly or the refactoring of specialized metabolite gene clusters, they have a broader potential utility, for example, for protein production or genetic complementation.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the cytotoxic activity of actinomycete isolated from marine sediment.MethodsIn the present study the DNA was isolated and the ITS region of 16s rRNA was amplified by polymerase chain reaction, using two universal bacterial primers, 1492R (5'-GGTTACCTTGTTAC GACTT-3') and Eubac27F (5'-AGAGTTTGATCCTGGCTC AG-3'). The amplified products were purified using TIANgel mini purification kit, ligated to MD18-T simple vector (TaKaRa), and transformed into competent cells of Escherichia coli DH5α. 16S rRNA gene fragment was sequenced using forward primer M13F (-47) and reverse primer M13R (-48). Blast search sequence similarity was found against the existing non-redundant nucleotide sequence database thus, identified as Streptomyces sp SU, Streptomyces rubralavandulae strain SU1, Streptomyces cacaoi strain SU2, Streptomyces cavourensis strain SU3, Streptomyces avidinii strain SU4, Streptomyces globisporus strain SU5, Streptomyces variabilis strain SU6, Streptomyces coelicolor strain SU 7. Among the eight identified isolates, one actinomycete Streptomyces avidinii strain SU4 was selected for further study.ResultsCrude extract of the actinomycete isolate exhibited IC50 in 64.5 µg against Hep-2 cell line, 250 µg in VERO cell line. This value is very close to the criteria of cytotoxicity activity for the crude extracts, as established by the American National Cancer Institute (NCI) is in IC50 < 30 µg/mL. The GC MS analysis showed that the active principle might be 1,2-benzenedicarboxylic acid, bis(2-methylpropyl) ester (12.17%), isooctyl phthalate (15.29%) with the retention time 15.642 and 21.612, respectively.ConclusionsThis study clearly proves that the marine sediment derived actinomycetes with bioactive metabolites can be expected to provide high quality biological material for high throughout biochemical and anticancer screening programs. These results help us to conclude that the potential of using metabolic engineering and post genomic approaches to isolate more bioactive compounds and make their possible commercial application is not far off.
