Project description:Streptomycetes are saprophytic bacteria that grow on complex polysaccharides, such as cellulose, starch, chitin and chitosan. For the monomeric building blocks glucose, maltose and N-acetylglucosamine the metabolic pathway is well documented, but that of glucosamine (GlcN) is currently unknown. Importantly, GlcN is lethal to Streptomyces coelicolor nagB mutants, which lack glucosamine-6-phosphate deaminase activity. Here we report that spontaneous and directed mutations in the gene for the ROK-family protein RokL6 (SCO1447) relieve GlcN toxicity in nagB mutants of S. coelicolor. RNA sequencing, ChIP-Seq and over-expression studies revealed that RokL6 acts by directly repressing SCO1448, which encodes a sugar exporter; RokL6 thereby only binds to the rokL6-SCO1448 intergenic region in vivo, with consensus binding site C(T)TATCAGG - 7 nt - CCTGATAG(A). The exact transcriptional start sites for rokL6 and SCO1448 were determined using 5’RACE. RokL6 represses the transcription of both rokL6 and SCO1448 by binding to overlapping promoter sequences. Taken together, our data show that RokL6 and SCO1448 are novel GlcN-related genes, whereby RokL6 directly controls the transcription of SCO1448. The latter is a key protein in the defense of S. coelicolor against the toxicity of GlcN in a nagB-mutant background, most likely via the export of GlcN-derived toxic intermediates.

Project description:Members of the ROK family of proteins are mostly transcriptional regulators and kinases that generally relate to the control of primary metabolism, whereby its member glucose kinase acts as the central control protein in carbon control in Streptomyces. Here, we show that deletion of SCO6008 (rok7B7) strongly affects carbon catabolite repression (CCR), growth, and antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor. Deletion of SCO7543 also affected antibiotic production, while no major changes were observed after deletion of the rok family genes SCO0794, SCO1060, SCO2846, SCO6566, or SCO6600. Global expression profiling of the rok7B7 mutant by proteomics and microarray analysis revealed strong upregulation of the xylose transporter operon xylFGH, which lies immediately downstream of rok7B7, consistent with the improved growth and delayed development of the mutant on xylose. The enhanced CCR, which was especially obvious on rich or xylose-containing media, correlated with elevated expression of glucose kinase and of the glucose transporter GlcP. In liquid-grown cultures, expression of the biosynthetic enzymes for production of prodigionines, siderophores, and calcium-dependent antibiotic (CDA) was enhanced in the mutant, and overproduction of prodigionines was corroborated by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization-time-of-flight analysis. These data present Rok7B7 as a pleiotropic regulator of growth, CCR, and antibiotic production in Streptomyces.

Project description:ROK-family proteins have been described to act either as sugar kinases or as transcriptional regulators. Few ROK-family regulators have been characterized so far and most of them are involved in carbon catabolite repression. RokB (Sco6115) has originally been identified in a DNA-affinity capturing approach as a possible regulator of the heterologously expressed novobiocin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces coelicolor M512. Interestingly, both, the rokB deletion mutants as well as its overexpressing mutants showed significantly reduced novobiocin production in the host strain S.coelicolor M512. We identified the DNA-binding site for RokB in the promoter region of the novobiocin biosynthetic genes novH-novW. It overlaps with the novH start codon which may explain the reduction of novobiocin production caused by overexpression of rokB. Bioinformatic screening coupled with surface plasmon resonance based interaction studies resulted in the discovery of five RokB binding sites within the genome of S. coelicolor. Using the genomic binding sites, a consensus motif for RokB was calculated, which differs slightly from previously determined binding motifs for ROK-family regulators. The annotations of the possible members of the so defined RokB regulon gave hints that RokB might be involved in amino acid metabolism and transport. This hypothesis was supported by feeding experiments with casamino acids and L-tyrosine, which could also explain the reduced novobiocin production in the deletion mutants.

Project description:A tetR family transcriptional regulatory gene (SCO1712) was identified as a global antibiotic regulatory gene from a Streptomyces interspecies DNA microarray analysis. SCO1712 disruption in Streptomyces coelicolor not only upregulated antibiotic biosynthesis through pathway-specific regulators when a previously identified pleiotropic downregulatory wblA was expressed but also further stimulated antibiotic production in a wblA deletion mutant, implying that SCO1712 might encode a novel antibiotic downregulator.

Project description:Streptomyces are the soil-dwelling bacteria with a complex lifecycle and a considerable ability to produce a variety of secondary metabolites. Osmoregulation is important for their lifecycle in nature. In the genome of Streptomyces coelicolor M145, SCO3128 (encodes a putative fatty acid desaturase), SCO3129 (encodes a putative TetR family regulator) and SCO3130 (encodes a putative l-carnitine dehydratase) constitute a transcriptional unit, and its transcript was found to be in response to osmotic stress. Disruption of SCO3130 led to a bald phenotype on MMG medium and the mycelia lysis on the edge of the colony when KCl/NaCl was added to the medium. These results indicated that SCO3130 is important for the osmotic stress resistance in S. coelicolor. Transcriptional analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) demonstrated that SCO3129 repressed the transcription of SCO3128-3130 operon through directly binding to the promoter region of SCO3128, indicating that SCO3129 regulates the transcription of SCO3128-3130 in response to osmotic stress.

Project description:In Streptomyces coelicolor, we identified a para-hydroxybenzoate (PHB) hydroxylase, encoded by gene pobA (SCO3084), which is responsible for conversion of PHB into PCA (protocatechuic acid), a substrate of the ?-ketoadipate pathway which yields intermediates of the Krebs cycle. We also found that the transcription of pobA is induced by PHB and is negatively regulated by the product of SCO3209, which we named PobR. The product of this gene is highly unusual in that it is the apparent fusion of two IclR family transcription factors. Bioinformatic analyses, in vivo transcriptional assays, electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs), DNase I footprinting, and isothermal calorimetry (ITC) were used to elucidate the regulatory mechanism of PobR. We found that PobR loses its high affinity for DNA (i.e., the pobA operator) in the presence of PHB, the inducer of pobA transcription. PHB binds to PobR with a KD of 5.8 ?M. Size-exclusion chromatography revealed that PobR is a dimer in the absence of PHB and a monomer in the presence of PHB. The crystal structure of PobR in complex with PHB showed that only one of the two IclR ligand binding domains was occupied, and defined how the N-terminal ligand binding domain engages the effector ligand.

Project description:ArgR is the regulator of arginine biosynthesis genes in Streptomyces species. Transcriptomic comparison by microarrays has been made between Streptomyces coelicolor M145 and its mutant S. coelicolor ?argR under control, unsupplemented conditions, and in the presence of arginine. Expression of 459 genes was different in transcriptomic assays, but only 27 genes were affected by arginine supplementation. Arginine and pyrimidine biosynthesis genes were derepressed by the lack of ArgR, while no strong effect on expression resulted on arginine supplementation. Several nitrogen metabolism genes expression as glnK, glnA and glnII, were downregulated in S. coelicolor ?argR. In addition, downregulation of genes for the yellow type I polyketide CPK antibiotic and for the antibiotic regulatory genes afsS and scbR was observed. The transcriptomic data were validated by either reverse transcription-PCR, expression of the gene-promoter coupled to the luciferase gene, proteomic or by electrophoresis mobility shift assay (EMSA) using pure Strep-tagged ArgR. Two ARG-boxes in the arginine operon genes suggest that these genes are more tightly controlled. Other genes, including genes encoding regulatory proteins, possess a DNA sequence formed by a single ARG-box which responds to ArgR, as validated by EMSA.

Project description:The overexpression of a regulatory gene of the TetR family (SCO3201) originating either from Streptomyces lividans or from Streptomyces coelicolor was shown to strongly repress antibiotic production (calcium-dependent antibiotic [CDA], undecylprodigiosin [RED], and actinorhodin [ACT]) of S. coelicolor and of the ppk mutant strain of S. lividans. Curiously, the overexpression of this gene also had a strong inhibitory effect on the sporulation process of S. coelicolor but not on that of S. lividans. SCO3201 was shown to negatively regulate its own transcription, and its DNA binding motif was found to overlap its -35 promoter sequence. The interruption of this gene in S. lividans or S. coelicolor did not lead to any obvious phenotypes, indicating that when overexpressed SCO3201 likely controls the expression of target genes of other TetR regulators involved in the regulation of the metabolic and morphological differentiation process in S. coelicolor. The direct and functional interaction of SCO3201 with the promoter region of scbA, a gene under the positive control of the TetR-like regulator, ScbR, was indeed demonstrated by in vitro as well as in vivo approaches.

Project description:Nickel ions serve in the correct folding and function of microbial enzymes implicated in metabolic processes. Although nickel ions are indispensable for the survival of cells, the intracellular level of nickel ions needs to be properly maintained as excessive levels of nickel ions are toxic. Nur, a nickel-uptake regulator belonging to the Fur family, is a nickel-responsive transcription factor that controls nickel homeostasis and antioxidative response in Streptomyces coelicolor. Nur was purified and crystallized at 295 K. A 2.4 A native data set and a 3.0 A Ni-MAD data set were collected using synchrotron radiation. The Nur crystals belong to space group P3(1), with unit-cell parameters a = b = 78.17, c = 50.39 A. Assuming the presence of two molecules in the asymmetric unit, the solvent content is estimated to be about 54.7%.
