A macrolide 3-O-acyltransferase gene from the midecamycin-producing species Streptomyces mycarofaciens.

ABSTRACT: The Streptomyces mycarofaciens mdmB gene encodes a 3-O-acyltransferase that catalyzes the addition of acetyl and propionyl groups to position 3 of the lactone ring in 16-member macrolide antibiotics like midecamycin and spiramycin. A putative O-methyltransferase gene (mdmC) is immediately downstream of mdmB, and both of these genes are closely linked to the mdmA midecamycin resistance gene.

Cloning of the macrolide antibiotic biosynthesis gene acyA, which encodes 3-O-acyltransferase, from Streptomyces thermotolerans and its use for direct fermentative production of a hybrid macrolide antibiotic.

Project description:A gene encoding the macrolide modification enzyme 3-O-acyltransferase (acyA) was cloned by chromosome walking onto the carbomycin biosynthetic region in Streptomyces thermotolerans TH475, with the 3' region of the gene encoding the macrolide modification enzyme 4"-O-acyltransferase (acyB1) as a probe. A shortened fragment (1.8 kb) containing acyA was subcloned with pIJ350. A high-level tylosin producer, Streptomyces fradiae MBBF, transformed with the plasmid could produce a hybrid macrolide, 3-O-acetyltylosin, most efficiently.

A gene cluster for macrolide antibiotic biosynthesis in Streptomyces venezuelae: architecture of metabolic diversity.

Project description:In a survey of microbial systems capable of generating unusual metabolite structural variability, Streptomyces venezuelae ATCC 15439 is notable in its ability to produce two distinct groups of macrolide antibiotics. Methymycin and neomethymycin are derived from the 12-membered ring macrolactone 10-deoxymethynolide, whereas narbomycin and pikromycin are derived from the 14-membered ring macrolactone, narbonolide. This report describes the cloning and characterization of the biosynthetic gene cluster for these antibiotics. Central to the cluster is a polyketide synthase locus (pikA) that encodes a six-module system comprised of four multifunctional proteins, in addition to a type II thioesterase (TEII). Immediately downstream is a set of genes for desosamine biosynthesis (des) and macrolide ring hydroxylation. The study suggests that Pik TEII plays a role in forming a metabolic branch through which polyketides of different chain length are generated, and the glycosyl transferase (encoded by desVII) has the ability to catalyze glycosylation of both the 12- and 14-membered ring macrolactones. Moreover, the pikC-encoded P450 hydroxylase provides yet another layer of structural variability by introducing regiochemical diversity into the macrolide ring systems. The data support the notion that the architecture of the pik gene cluster as well as the unusual substrate specificity of particular enzymes contributes to its ability to generate four macrolide antibiotics.

Antifungalmycin, an antifungal macrolide from Streptomyces padanus 702

Project description:Two polyene macrolide antibiotics: antifungalmycin (1) and fungichromin (2) were isolated from the culture mycelia of Streptomyces padanus 702 via bioactivity-guided fractionation using various chromatographic procedures. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of spectral analysis, and 1 is a new polyene macrolide. Compounds 1 and 2 showed significant inhibition against Gibberella zeae with EC50 values of 26.71 and 2.21 µg/mL, Fusicoccum sp. (plantain head blight) with EC50 values of 23.4 and 3.17 µg/mL, Mucor ssp. 8894 with EC50 values of 28.80 and 2.11 µg/mL, Ustilaginoidea virens with EC50 values of 26.72 and 0.21 µg/mL, respectively. This shows that the microbial secondary metabolites 1 and 2 have the potential to be developed as agricultural fungicides for use against G. zeae, Fusicoccum sp., Mucor ssp. 8894, and U. virens.

Organization of the biosynthetic gene cluster for the polyketide anthelmintic macrolide avermectin in Streptomyces avermitilis.

Project description:Analysis of the gene cluster from Streptomyces avermitilis that governs the biosynthesis of the polyketide anthelmintic avermectin revealed that it contains four large ORFs encoding giant multifunctional polypeptides of the avermectin polyketide synthase (AVES 1, AVES 2, AVES 3, and AVES 4). These clustered polyketide synthase genes responsible for avermectin biosynthesis together encode 12 homologous sets of enzyme activities (modules), each catalyzing a specific round of polyketide chain elongation. The clustered genes encoding polyketide synthase are organized as two sets of six modular repeats, aveA1-aveA2 and aveA3-aveA4, which are convergently transcribed. The total of 55 constituent active sites makes this the most complex multifunctional enzyme system identified to date. The sequenced DNA region contains 14 additional ORFs, some of which encode polypeptides governing other key steps in avermectin biosynthesis. Between the two sets of polyketide synthase genes lie two genes involved in postpolyketide modification, one of which encodes cynthochrome P450 hydroxylase that probably catalyzes furan ring formation at C6 to C8a. Immediately right of the large polyketide synthase genes is a set of genes involved in oleandrose biosynthesis and its transglycosylation to polyketide-derived aglycons. This cluster includes nine genes, but one is not functional in the biosynthesis of avermectin. On the left side of polyketide synthase genes, two ORFs encoding methyltransferase and nonpolyketide synthase ketoreductase involved in postpolyketide modification are located to the left of the polyketide synthase genes, and an adjacent gene encodes a regulatory function that may be involved in activation of the transcription of avermectin biosynthetic genes.

Characterization of the biosynthetic gene cluster of the polyene macrolide antibiotic reedsmycins from a marine-derived Streptomyces strain.

Project description:BackgroundPolyene antibiotics are important as antifungal medicines albeit with serious side effects such as nephrotoxicity. Reedsmycin (RDM) A (1), produced by marine-derived Streptomyces youssoufiensis OUC6819, is a non-glycosylated polyene macrolide antibiotic with antifungal activity comparable to that of clinically used nystatin. To elucidate its biosynthetic machinery, herein, the rdm biosynthetic gene cluster was cloned and characterized.ResultsThe rdm cluster is located within a 104 kb DNA region harboring 21 open reading frames (ORFs), among which 15 ORFs were designated as rdm genes. The assembly line for RDM A is proposed on the basis of module and domain analysis of the polyketide synthetases (PKSs) RdmGHIJ, which catalyze 16 rounds of decarboxylative condensation using malonyl-CoA as the starter unit (loading module), two methylmalonyl-CoA (module 1 and 2), and fourteen malonyl-CoA (module 3-16) as extender units successively. However, the predicted substrate specificity of AT0 in the loading module is methylmalonyl-CoA instead of malonyl-CoA. Interestingly, the rdm cluster contains a five-gene regulation system RdmACDEF, which is different from other reported polyene gene clusters. In vivo experiments demonstrated the XRE family regulator RdmA and the PAS/LuxR family regulator RdmF function in negative and positive manner, respectively. Notably, inactivation of rdmA and overexpression of rdmF led to increased production of RDM A by ~ 2.0-fold and ~ 2.5-fold, reaching yields of 155.3 ± 1.89 and 184.8 ± 9.93 mg/L, respectively.ConclusionsBiosynthesis of RDM A is accomplished on a linear assembly line catalyzed by Rdm PKSs harboring a unique AT0 under the control of a complex regulatory system. These findings enable generation of new biologically active RDM derivatives at high yield and with improved properties by engineered biosynthesis.

Ester-Producing Mechanism of Ethanol O-acyltransferase EHT1 Gene in Pichia pastoris from Shanxi Aged Vinegar.

Project description:The ethanol O-acyltransferase EHT1 is an important element of key signaling pathways and is widely expressed in yeast strains. In this study, we investigated the expression of EHT1 in the overexpression lines or knockout system of Pichia pastoris using qRT-PCR and western blotting. The amount of total protein was determined using the Bradford method; the esterase activity was determined using p-nitrophenyl acetate as a substrate, and the production of volatile fatty acids in wild-type, knockout, and over-expression systems was detected using SPME GC-MS. The esterase activity of EHT1-knockout P. pastoris was significantly lower than that in wild type (P<0.01), and the activities of esterase in three EHT1-overexpressing strains-OE-1, OE-2, and OE-3-were significantly higher than those in wild type (P<0.01). In the EHT1-knockout strain products, the contents of nine volatile fatty acids were significantly lower than those in wild type (P<0.01), and the relative percentages of three fatty acids, methyl nonanoate, methyl decanoate, and ethyl caprate, were significantly lower than those in the other six species in the wild-type and knockout groups (P<0.05). The nine volatile fatty acids in the fermentation products of the overexpressed EHT1 gene were significantly higher than those in the wild-type group (P<0.01). The relative percentages of the three fatty acid esters, methyl nonanoate, methyl caprate, and ethyl caprate, were significantly higher than those in the other six species (P<0.05). EHT1 plays an important regulatory role in esterase activity and the production of medium-chain volatile fatty acids.

Cloning, sequencing, and characterizing of soil antibiotic active-producing <i>Streptomyces</i> species-specific DNA markers.

Project description:Association of the antibiotic activity of the soil Streptomyces isolates to their genetic profiles analyzed through RAPD-PCR fingerprints prompted us here in this study to use the most common bands as specific markers to identify homologous proteins within these isolates by cloning, sequencing, and characterizing these markers. Six out of twelve DNA bands ranged between 600 and 1350 bp previously obtained by RAPD-PCR analysis were purified out of the RAPD gels, and then cloned into pGEM-T Easy vector system. Success of the cloning process was confirmed by digesting purified plasmids with EcoRI. The clones namely No. 54, 55, 20, 56, 57, and 58 were sequenced using the DNA BigDye Terminator Sequencing System utilizing the M13 primer. Results indicated that the size of the inserted sequences is 599, 566, 522, 870, 857, and 254 bp, in clones No. 54. 55, 20, 56, 57, and 58, respectively. Homologous proteins of the six cloned sequences generated by DNA blast software indicated that the highest score of protein homology was scored for clone No. 54 with 87 % homology to putative secreted pectate lyase [Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2)]. The other clones showed less homology with 77 % homology for the clones No. 55 and 56, 73 % homology for the clone No. 20, and 55 % homology for the clones No. 57 and 58. The association of homologous proteins to the reported RAPD pattern is confirmed here for the first time, and the resulting DNA cloned fragments deserve further molecular analysis.

Mining and engineering exporters for titer improvement of macrolide biopesticides in Streptomyces.

Project description:Exporter engineering is a promising strategy to construct high-yield Streptomyces for natural product pharmaceuticals in industrial biotechnology. However, available exporters are scarce, due to the limited knowledge of bacterial transporters. Here, we built a workflow for exporter mining and devised a tunable plug-and-play exporter (TuPPE) module to improve the production of macrolide biopesticides in Streptomyces. Combining genome analyses and experimental confirmations, we found three ATP-binding cassette transporters that contribute to milbemycin production in Streptomyces bingchenggensis. We then optimized the expression level of target exporters for milbemycin titer optimization by designing a TuPPE module with replaceable promoters and ribosome binding sites. Finally, broader applications of the TuPPE module were implemented in industrial S. bingchenggensis BC04, Streptomyces avermitilis NEAU12 and Streptomyces cyaneogriseus NMWT1, which led to optimal titer improvement of milbemycin A3/A4, avermectin B1a and nemadectin α by 24.2%, 53.0% and 41.0%, respectively. Our work provides useful exporters and a convenient TuPPE module for titer improvement of macrolide biopesticides in Streptomyces. More importantly, the feasible exporter mining workflow developed here might shed light on widespread applications of exporter engineering in Streptomyces to boost the production of other secondary metabolites.

Regulation of the biosynthesis of the macrolide antibiotic spiramycin in Streptomyces ambofaciens.

Project description:Streptomyces ambofaciens synthesizes the macrolide antibiotic spiramycin. The biosynthetic gene cluster for spiramycin has been characterized for S. ambofaciens. In addition to the regulatory gene srmR (srm22), previously identified (M. Geistlich et al., Mol. Microbiol. 6:2019-2029, 1992), three putative regulatory genes had been identified by sequence analysis. Gene expression analysis and gene inactivation experiments showed that only one of these three genes, srm40, plays a major role in the regulation of spiramycin biosynthesis. The disruption of srm22 or srm40 eliminated spiramycin production while their overexpression increased spiramycin production. Expression analysis was performed by reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) for all the genes of the cluster in the wild-type strain and in the srm22 (srmR) and srm40 deletion mutants. The results from the expression analysis, together with the ones from the complementation experiments, indicated that Srm22 is required for srm40 expression, Srm40 being a pathway-specific activator that controls most, if not all, of the spiramycin biosynthetic genes.
