Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2): purification of the enzyme, cloning of the ppc gene and over-expression of the protein in a streptomycete.

ABSTRACT: Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase [PEPC; orthophosphate:oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (phosphorylating); EC 4.1.1.31] is a major anaplerotic enzyme in the polyketide producer Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). PEPC was purified from S. coelicolor and the amino-acid sequences of four tryptic peptides were determined. Synthetic oligonucleotides based on the sequences of two of the peptides hybridized to the same bands in various restriction-enzyme digests of S. coelicolor genomic DNA. This hybridization allowed molecular cloning of an 8 kb BamHI fragment of genomic DNA. Partial DNA sequencing of this fragment showed that it could encode amino acid sequences similar to those of PEPC from other microorganisms. A BamHI/PstI fragment was subcloned into the streptomycete high-copy-number plasmid vector pIJ486 and transferred into Streptomyces lividans. The resulting strain over-expressed PEPC activity 21-fold and also over-expressed a protein with a subunit of 100,000 M(r), the same as that of purified S. coelicolor PEPC.

Direct cloning and heterologous expression of the salinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces albus DSM41398 in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).

Project description:Linear plus linear homologous recombination-mediated recombineering (LLHR) is ideal for obtaining natural product biosynthetic gene clusters from pre-digested bacterial genomic DNA in one or two steps of recombineering. The natural product salinomycin has a potent and selective activity against cancer stem cells and is therefore a potential anti-cancer drug. Herein, we separately isolated three fragments of the salinomycin gene cluster (salO-orf18) from Streptomyces albus (S. albus) DSM41398 using LLHR and assembled them into intact gene cluster (106?kb) by Red/ET and expressed it in the heterologous host Streptomyces coelicolor (S. coelicolor) A3(2). We are the first to report a large genomic region from a Gram-positive strain has been cloned using LLHR. The successful reconstitution and heterologous expression of the salinomycin gene cluster offer an attractive system for studying the function of the individual genes and identifying novel and potential analogues of complex natural products in the recipient strain.

Cloning, purification, and properties of a phosphotyrosine protein phosphatase from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).

Project description:We describe the isolation and characterization of a gene (ptpA) from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) that codes for a protein with a deduced M(r) of 17,690 containing significant amino acid sequence identity with mammalian and prokaryotic small, acidic phosphotyrosine protein phosphatases (PTPases). After expression of S. coelicolor ptpA in Escherichia coli with a pT7-7-based vector system, PtpA was purified to homogeneity as a fusion protein containing five extra amino acids. The purified fusion enzyme catalyzed the removal of phosphate from p-nitrophenylphosphate (PNPP), phosphotyrosine (PY), and a commercial phosphopeptide containing a single phosphotyrosine residue but did not cleave phosphoserine or phosphothreonine. The pH optima for PNPP and PY hydrolysis by PtpA were 6.0 and 6.5, respectively. The Km values for hydrolysis of PNPP and PY by PtpA were 0.75 mM (pH 6.0, 37 degrees C) and 2.7 mM (pH 6.5, 37 degrees C), respectively. Hydrolysis of PNPP by S. coelicolor PtpA were 0.75 mM (pH 6.0, 37 degrees C) and 2.7 mM (pH 6.5, 37 degrees C), respectively. Hydrolysis of PNPP by S. coelicolor PtpA was competitively inhibited by dephostatin with a Ki of 1.64 microM; the known PTPase inhibitors phenylarsine oxide, sodium vanadate, and iodoacetate also inhibited enzyme activity. Apparent homologs of ptpA were detected in other streptomycetes by Southern hybridization; the biological functions of PtpA and its putative homologs in streptomycetes are not yet known.

Biophysical characterization of the enzyme I of the Streptomyces coelicolor phosphoenolpyruvate:sugar phosphotransferase system.

Project description:The first protein in the bacterial phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP):sugar phosphotransferase system is the homodimeric 60-kDa enzyme I (EI), which autophosphorylates in the presence of PEP and Mg2+. The conformational stability and structure of the EI from Streptomyces coelicolor, EI(sc), were explored in the absence and in the presence of its effectors by using several biophysical probes (namely, fluorescence, far-ultraviolet circular dichroism, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and differential scanning calorimetry) and computational approaches. The structure of EI(sc) was obtained by homology modeling of the isolated N- and C-terminal domains of other EI proteins. The experimental results indicate that at physiological pH, the dimeric EI(sc) had a well-folded structure; however, at low pH, EI(sc) showed a partially unfolded state with the features of a molten globule, as suggested by fluorescence, far-ultraviolet circular dichroism, FTIR, and 8-anilino-1-naphthalene-sulfonic acid binding. The thermal stability of EI(sc), in the absence of PEP and Mg2+, was maximal at pH 7. The presence of PEP and Mg2+ did not change substantially the secondary structure of the protein, as indicated by FTIR measurements. However, quenching experiments and proteolysis patterns suggest conformational changes in the presence of PEP; furthermore, the thermal stability of EI(sc) was modified depending on the effector added. Our approach suggests that thermodynamical analysis might reveal subtle conformational changes.

Role of an essential acyl coenzyme A carboxylase in the primary and secondary metabolism of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).

Project description:Two genes, accB and accE, that form part of the same operon, were cloned from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). AccB is homologous to the carboxyl transferase domain of several propionyl coezyme A (CoA) carboxylases and acyl-CoA carboxylases (ACCases) of actinomycete origin, while AccE shows no significant homology to any known protein. Expression of accB and accE in Escherichia coli and subsequent in vitro reconstitution of enzyme activity in the presence of the biotinylated protein AccA1 or AccA2 confirmed that AccB was the carboxyl transferase subunit of an ACCase. The additional presence of AccE considerably enhanced the activity of the enzyme complex, suggesting that this small polypeptide is a functional component of the ACCase. The impossibility of obtaining an accB null mutant and the thiostrepton growth dependency of a tipAp accB conditional mutant confirmed that AccB is essential for S. coelicolor viability. Normal growth phenotype in the absence of the inducer was restored in the conditional mutant by the addition of exogenous long-chain fatty acids in the medium, indicating that the inducer-dependent phenotype was specifically related to a conditional block in fatty acid biosynthesis. Thus, AccB, together with AccA2, which is also an essential protein (E. Rodriguez and H. Gramajo, Microbiology 143:3109-3119, 1999), are the most likely components of an ACCase whose main physiological role is the synthesis of malonyl-CoA, the first committed step of fatty acid synthesis. Although normal growth of the conditional mutant was restored by fatty acids, the cultures did not produce actinorhodin or undecylprodigiosin, suggesting a direct participation of this enzyme complex in the supply of malonyl-CoA for the synthesis of these secondary metabolites.

Genome-scale analysis of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) metabolism.

Project description:Streptomyces are filamentous soil bacteria that produce more than half of the known microbial antibiotics. We present the first genome-scale metabolic model of a representative of this group--Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). The metabolism reconstruction was based on annotated genes, physiological and biochemical information. The stoichiometric model includes 819 biochemical conversions and 152 transport reactions, accounting for a total of 971 reactions. Of the reactions in the network, 700 are unique, while the rest are iso-reactions. The network comprises 500 metabolites. A total of 711 open reading frames (ORFs) were included in the model, which corresponds to 13% of the ORFs with assigned function in the S. coelicolor A3(2) genome. In a comparative analysis with the Streptomyces avermitilis genome, we showed that the metabolic genes are highly conserved between these species and therefore the model is suitable for use with other Streptomycetes. Flux balance analysis was applied for studies of the reconstructed metabolic network and to assess its metabolic capabilities for growth and polyketides production. The model predictions of wild-type and mutants' growth on different carbon and nitrogen sources agreed with the experimental data in most cases. We estimated the impact of each reaction knockout on the growth of the in silico strain on 62 carbon sources and two nitrogen sources, thereby identifying the "core" of the essential reactions. We also illustrated how reconstruction of a metabolic network at the genome level can be used to fill gaps in genome annotation.

Heterologous expression and purification of encapsulins in <i>Streptomyces coelicolor</i>.

Project description:In recent years a large number of encapsulin nanocompartment-encoding operons have been identified in bacterial and archaeal genomes. Encapsulin-encoding genes and operons from GC-rich Gram-positive bacteria, particularly of the phylum Actinobacteria, are often difficult to overexpress and purify in a soluble form using standard Escherichia coli expression systems. Here, we present a protocol to heterologously overexpress encapsulin nanocompartments and encapsulin-containing operons in Streptomyces coelicolor. Successful encapsulin production begins with the transfer of a Streptomyces expression plasmid, encoding the gene(s) of interest, via conjugation to the model actinobacterium S. coelicolor. After growing the conjugated S. coelicolor culture to the optimal optical density, protein production is induced by the addition of the inducer thiostrepton, followed by expression in liquid culture for 1-3 days. Cells are lysed and encapsulin proteins purified using ammonium sulfate precipitation and size exclusion chromatography. The method outlined in this protocol can be utilized to improve cargo loading and overall soluble expression of encapsulin systems when compared to expression in E. coli.•Clone an encapsulin-encoding gene or operon into a Streptomyces expression vector.•Transfer the Streptomyces expression vector to S. coelicolor via conjugation.•Heterologously express and purify empty or cargo-loaded encapsulins from S. coelicolor.

Expression, purification and X-ray crystallographic analysis of thioredoxin from Streptomyces coelicolor.

Project description:Thioredoxins are ubiquitous proteins that serve as reducing agents and general protein disulfide reductases. In turn, they are reduced by electrons obtained from the NADPH-containing thioredoxin reductase. Thioredoxins have been isolated and characterized from a large number of organisms. The Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor contains three thioredoxins that are involved in unknown biological processes. trxA from S. coelicolor was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli and the protein purified and crystallized using the hanging-drop method of vapour diffusion. The crystal structure of thioredoxin A has been determined at 1.5 A resolution using a synchrotron-radiation source. The protein reveals a thioredoxin-like fold with a typical CXXC active site. The crystal exhibits the symmetry of space group P2(1)2(1)2, with unit-cell parameters a = 43.6, b = 71.8, c = 33.2 A.

Enhanced expression of S-adenosylmethionine synthetase causes overproduction of actinorhodin in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).

Project description:We found that a 46-kDa protein is highly expressed in an actinorhodin-overproducing Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) mutant (KO-179), which exhibited a low-level resistance to streptomycin. The protein was identified as S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) synthetase, which is a product of the metK gene. Enzyme assay revealed that SAM synthetase activity in strain KO-179 was 5- to 10-fold higher than in wild-type cells. The elevation of SAM synthetase activity was found to be associated with an increase in the level of intracellular SAM. RNase protection assay revealed that the metK gene was transcribed from two distinct promoters (p1 and p2) and that enhanced expression of the MetK protein in the mutant strain KO-179 was attributed to elevated transcription from metKp2. Strikingly, the introduction of a high-copy-number plasmid containing the metK gene into wild-type cells resulted in a precocious hyperproduction of actinorhodin. Furthermore, the addition of SAM to the culture medium induced Act biosynthesis in wild-type cells. Overexpression of metK stimulated the expression of the pathway-specific regulatory gene actII-ORF4, as demonstrated by the RNase protection assay. The addition of SAM also caused hyperproduction of streptomycin in Streptomyces griseus. These findings implicate the significant involvement of intracellular SAM in initiating the onset of secondary metabolism in STREPTOMYCES:
