Multi-Omics Analysis of the Effect of cAMP on Actinorhodin Production in Streptomyces coelicolor.

ABSTRACT: Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) has been known to play an important role in regulating morphological development and antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor. However, the functional connection between cAMP levels and antibiotic production and the mechanism by which cAMP regulates antibiotic production remain unclear. In this study, metabolomics- and transcriptomics-based multi-omics analysis was applied to S. coelicolor strains that either produce the secondary metabolite actinorhodin (Act) or lack most secondary metabolite biosynthesis pathways including Act. Comparative multi-omics analysis of the two strains revealed that intracellular and extracellular cAMP abundance was strongly correlated with actinorhodin production. Notably, supplementation of cAMP improved cell growth and antibiotic production. Further multi-omics analysis of cAMP-supplemented S. coelicolor cultures showed an increase of guanine and the expression level of purine metabolism genes. Based on this phenomenon, supplementation with 7-methylguanine, a competitive inhibitor of reactions utilizing guanine, with or without additional cAMP supplementation, was performed. This experiment revealed that the reactions inhibited by 7-methylguanine are mediating the positive effect on growth and antibiotic production, which may occur downstream of cAMP supplementation.

Project description:The transcription factor AdpA is a key regulator controlling both secondary metabolism and morphological differentiation in Streptomyces. Due to its critical functions, its expression undergoes multilevel regulations at transcriptional, posttranscriptional, and translational levels, yet no posttranslational regulation has been reported. Sulfane sulfur, such as hydro polysulfide (HSnH, n ≥ 2) and organic polysulfide (RSnH, n ≥ 2), is common inside microorganisms, but its physiological functions are largely unclear. Here, we discovered that sulfane sulfur posttranslationally modifies AdpA in Streptomyces coelicolor via specifically reacting with Cys62 of AdpA to form a persulfide (Cys62-SSH). This modification decreases the affinity of AdpA to its self-promoter PadpA, allowing increased expression of adpA, further promoting the expression of its target genes actII-4 and wblA. ActII-4 activates actinorhodin biosynthesis, and WblA regulates morphological development. Bioinformatics analyses indicated that AdpA-Cys62 is highly conserved in Streptomyces, suggesting the prevalence of such modification in this genus. Thus, our study unveils a new type of regulation on the AdpA activity and sheds a light on how sulfane sulfur stimulates the production of antibiotics in Streptomyces. IMPORTANCE Streptomyces species produce a myriad of natural products with (potential) clinical applications. While the database of biosynthetic gene clusters is quickly expanding, their regulation mechanisms are rarely known. Sulfane sulfur species are commonly present in microorganisms with unclear functions. Here, we discovered that sulfane sulfur increases actinorhodin (ACT) production in S. coelicolor. The underlying mechanism is that sulfane sulfur specifically reacts with AdpA, a global transcription factor controlling both ACT gene cluster and morphological differentiation-related genes, to form sulfhydrated AdpA. This modification changes the dynamics of AdpA-controlled gene networks and leads to high expression of ACT biosynthetic genes. Given the wide prevalence of AdpA and sulfane sulfur in Streptomyces, this mechanism may represent a common regulating pattern of all AdpA-controlled biosynthetic pathways. Thus, this finding provides a new strategy for mining and activating valuable biosynthetic gene clusters.
