Establishment of a highly efficient conjugation protocol for Streptomyces kanamyceticus ATCC12853.

ABSTRACT: Kanamycin B as the secondary metabolite of wild-type Streptomyces kanamyceticus (S. kanamyceticus) ATCC12853 is often used for the synthesis of dibekacin and arbekacin. To construct the strain has the ability for kanamycin B production; the pSET152 derivatives from Escherichia coli ET12567 were introduced to S. kanamyceticus by intergeneric conjugal transfer. In this study, we established a reliable genetic manipulation system for S. kanamyceticus. The key factors of conjugal transfer were evaluated, including donor-to-recipient ratio, heat-shock, and the overlaying time of antibiotics. When spores were used as recipient, the optimal conjugation frequency was up to 6.7 × 10-6 . And mycelia were used as an alternative recipient for conjugation instead of spores; the most suitable donor-to-recipient ratio is 1:1 (107 :107 ). After incubated for only 10-12 hr and overlaid with antibiotics subsequently, the conjugation frequency can reach to 6.2 × 10-5 which is sufficient for gene knockout and other genetic operation. Based on the optimized conjugal transfer condition, kanJ was knocked out successfully. The kanamycin B yield of kanJ-disruption strain can reach to 543.18 ± 42 mg/L while the kanamycin B yield of wild-type strain was only 46.57 ± 12 mg/L. The current work helps improve the content of kanamycin B in the fermentation broth of S. kanamyceticus effectively to ensure the supply for the synthesis of several critical semisynthetic antibiotics.

Project description:UNLABELLED:Conjugative DNA transfer in mycelial Streptomyces is a unique process involving the transfer of a double-stranded plasmid from the donor into the recipient and the subsequent spreading of the transferred plasmid within the recipient mycelium. This process is associated with growth retardation of the recipient and manifested by the formation of circular inhibition zones, named pocks. To characterize the unique Streptomyces DNA transfer machinery, we replaced each gene of the conjugative 12.1-kbp Streptomyces venezuelae plasmid pSVH1, with the exception of the rep gene required for plasmid replication, with a hexanucleotide sequence. Only deletion of traB, encoding the FtsK-like DNA translocase, affected efficiency of the transfer dramatically and abolished pock formation. Deletion of spdB3, spd79, or spdB2 had a minor effect on transfer but prevented pock formation and intramycelial plasmid spreading. Biochemical characterization of the encoded proteins revealed that the GntR-type regulator TraR recognizes a specific sequence upstream of spdB3, while Orf108, SpdB2, and TraR bind to peptidoglycan. SpdB2 promoted spheroplast formation by T7 lysozyme and formed pores in artificial membranes. Bacterial two-hybrid analyses and chemical cross-linking revealed that most of the pSVH1-encoded proteins interacted with each other, suggesting a multiprotein DNA translocation complex of TraB and Spd proteins which directs intramycelial plasmid spreading. IMPORTANCE:Mycelial soil bacteria of the genus Streptomyces evolved specific resistance genes as part of the biosynthetic gene clusters to protect themselves from their own antibiotic, making streptomycetes a huge natural reservoir of antibiotic resistance genes for dissemination by horizontal gene transfer. Streptomyces conjugation is a unique process, visible on agar plates with the mere eye by the formation of circular inhibition zones, called pocks. To understand the Streptomyces conjugative DNA transfer machinery, which does not involve a type IV secretion system (T4SS), we made a thorough investigation of almost all genes/proteins of the model plasmid pSVH1. We identified all genes involved in transfer and intramycelial plasmid spreading and showed that the FtsK-like DNA translocase TraB interacts with multiple plasmid-encoded proteins. Our results suggest the existence of a macromolecular DNA translocation complex that directs intramycelial plasmid spreading.
