Comparative Transcriptome Analysis Demonstrates the Positive Effect of the Cyclic AMP Receptor Protein Crp on Daptomycin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces roseosporus.

ABSTRACT: Daptomycin, which is produced by Streptomyces roseosporus, has been characterized as a novel cyclic lipopeptide antibiotic that is effective against Gram-positive bacteria. The biosynthesis of daptomycin is regulated by various factors. In the present study, we demonstrated that the cyclic AMP receptor protein (Crp) plays an important role in producing daptomycin in the S. roseosporus industrial strain. We found that daptomycin production from the crp deletion strain decreased drastically, whereas production from the crp overexpression strain increased by 22.1%. Transcriptome and qPCR analyses showed that some genes related to the daptomycin biosynthetic gene cluster (dpt) and the pleiotropic regulator (adpA) were significantly upregulated. RNA-seq also shows Crp to be a multifunctional regulator that modulates primary metabolism and enhances precursor flux to secondary metabolite biosynthesis. These results provide guidance for the development and improvement of potential natural products.

Project description:Klebsiella pneumoniae is the predominant pathogen isolated from liver abscesses of diabetic patients in Asian countries. However, the effects of elevated blood glucose levels on the virulence of this pathogen remain largely unknown. Type 3 fimbriae, encoded by the mrkABCDF genes, are important virulence factors in K. pneumoniae pathogenesis. In this study, the effects of exogenous glucose and the intracellular cyclic AMP (cAMP) signaling pathway on type 3 fimbriae expression regulation were investigated. The production of MrkA, the major subunit of type 3 fimbriae, was increased in glucose-rich medium, whereas cAMP supplementation reversed the effect. MrkA production was markedly increased by cyaA or crp deletion, but slightly decreased by cpdA deletion. In addition, the mRNA levels of mrkABCDF genes and the activity of PmrkA were increased in ?crp strain, as well as the mRNA levels of mrkHIJ genes that encode cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP)-related regulatory proteins that influence type 3 fimbriae expression. Moreover, the activities of PmrkHI and PmrkJ were decreased in ?lacZ?crp strain. These results indicate that CRP-cAMP down-regulates mrkABCDF and mrkHIJ at the transcriptional level. Further deletion of mrkH or mrkI in ?crp strain diminished the production of MrkA, indicating that MrkH and MrkI are required for the CRP regulation of type 3 fimbriae expression. Furthermore, the high activity of PmrkHI in the ?lacZ?crp strain was diminished in ?lacZ?crp?mrkHI, but increased in the ?lacZ?crp?mrkJ strain. Deletion of crp increased the intracellular c-di-GMP concentration and reduced the phosphodiesterase activity. Moreover, we found that the mRNA levels of multiple genes related to c-di-GMP metabolism were altered in ?crp strain. These indicate that CRP regulates type 3 fimbriae expression indirectly via the c-di-GMP signaling pathway. In conclusion, we found evidence of a coordinated regulation of type 3 fimbriae expression by the CRP-cAMP and c-di-GMP signaling pathways in K. pneumoniae.
