Heterologous expression and antitumor activity analysis of syringolin from Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B728a.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Syringolin, synthesized by a mixed non-ribosomal peptide synthetase/polyketide synthetase in Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae (Pss) B728a, is a novel eukaryotic proteasome inhibitor. Meanwhile, directly modifying large fragments in the PKS/NRPS gene cluster through traditional DNA engineering techniques is very difficult. In this study, we directly cloned the syl gene cluster from Pss B301D-R via Red/ET recombineering to effectively express syringolin in heterologous hosts. RESULTS:A 22 kb genomic fragment containing the sylA-sylE gene cluster was cloned into the pASK vector, and the obtained recombinant plasmid was transferred into Streptomyces coelicolor and Streptomyces lividans for the heterologous expression of syringolin. Transcriptional levels of recombinant syl gene in S. coelicolor M145 and S. lividans TK24 were evaluated via RT-PCR and the production of syringolin compounds was detected via LC-MS analysis. The extracts of the engineered bacteria showed cytotoxic activity to B16, 4T1, Meth-A, and HeLa tumor cells. It is noteworthy that the syringolin displayed anticancer activity against C57BL/6 mice with B16 murine melanoma tumor cells. Together, our results herein demonstrate the potential of syrinolin as effective antitumor agent that can treat various cancers without apparent adverse effects. CONCLUSIONS:This present study is the first to report the heterologous expression of the entire syl gene cluster in Streptomyces strains and the successful expression of syringolin in both S. coelicolor M145 and S. lividans TK24. Syringolin derivatives demonstrated high cytotoxicity in vitro and in vivo. Hence, this paper provided an important foundation for the discovery and production of new antitumor compounds.

Project description:Production of the biosurfactant syringafactin by the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae B728a is a surface contact-dependent trait. Expression of syfA, as measured using a gfp reporter gene fusion was low in planktonic cells in liquid cultures but over 4-fold higher in cells immobilized on surfaces as varied as glass, plastic, paper, parafilm, agar, membrane filters, and leaves. Induction of syfA as measured by GFP fluorescence was rapid, occurring within two hours after immobilization of cells on surfaces. Comparison of the global transcriptome by RNA sequencing of planktonic cells in a nutrient medium with that of cells immobilized for 2 hours on filters placed on this solidified medium revealed that, in addition to syfA, 3156 other genes were differentially expressed. Genes repressed in immobilized cells included those involved in quaternary ammonium compound (QAC) metabolism and transport, compatible solute production, carbohydrate metabolism and transport, organic acid metabolism and transport, phytotoxin synthesis and transport, amino acid metabolism and transport, and secondary metabolism. Genes induced in immobilized cells included syfA plus those involved in translation, siderophore synthesis and transport, nucleotide metabolism and transport, flagellar synthesis and motility, lipopolysaccharide (LPS) synthesis and transport, energy generation, transcription, chemosensing and chemotaxis, replication and DNA repair, iron-sulfur proteins, peptidoglycan/cell wall polymers, terpenoid backbone synthesis, iron metabolism and transport, and cell division. That many genes are rapidly differentially expressed upon transfer of cells from a planktonic to an immobilized state suggests that cells experience the two environments differently. It seems possible that surface contact initiates anticipatory changes in P. syringae gene expression, which enables rapid and appropriate physiological responses to the different environmental conditions such as might occur in a biofilm. Such responses could help cells survive transitions from aquatic habitats fostering planktonic traits to attachment on surfaces, conditions that alternatively occur on leaves.
