Project description:We identified genome-wide binding regions of NdgR in Streptomyces coelicolor using chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq). We constructed 6×myc-tagged NdgR strain using homologous recombination with myc-tagging vector. Analysis of the sequencing data aligned to Streptomyces coelicolor genome database (NC_003888).
Project description:We performed ribosome profiling which is the deep-sequencing of mRNA fragments protected by translating ribosome for two Streptomyces species through different growth phases to provide the translatome data
Project description:This study compared the genome of Streptomyces rimosus rimosus against that of Streptomyces coelicolor. It also compared 4 strains with changes in oxytetracycline production and derived from G7, the type strain, against G7. Keywords: Comparative genomic hybridization
Project description:Bacteria isolated from potato scab lesions in Finland or northern Sweden were analyzed using microarrays, PCR, and sequencing. Data indicate wide genetic variability in pathogenicity islands among S.turgidiscabies and S.scabies strains. Thirteen Streptomyces scabies and turgidiscabies strains from two different growings, Streptomyces reticulisabiei reference strain DSM41804 and Streptomyces scabies reference strain ATCC49173 were hybridized. Data were analyzed in single channel mode.
Project description:Two component sensor-response regulator systems (TCSs) are very common in the genomes of the Streptomyces species that have been fully sequenced to date. It has been suggested that this large number is an evolutionary response to the variable environment that Streptomyces encounter in soil. Notwithstanding this, TCSs are also more common in the sequenced genomes of other Actinomycetales when these are compared to the genomes of most other eubacteria. In this study, we have used DNA/DNA genome microarray analysis to compare fourteen Streptomyces species and one closely related genus to Streptomyces coelicolor in order to identify a core group of such systems. This core group is compared to the syntenous and non-syntenous TCSs present in the genome sequences of other Actinomycetales in order to separate the systems into those present in Actinomycetales in general, the Streptomyces specific systems and the species specific systems. Horizontal transfer does not seem to play a very important role in the evolution of the TCS complement analyzed in this study. However, cognate pairs do not necessarily seem to evolve at the same pace, which may indicate the evolutionary responses to environmental variation may be reflected differently in sequence changes within the two components of the TCSs. The overall analysis allowed subclassification of the orphan TCSs and the TCS cognate pairs and identification of possible targets for further study using gene knockouts, gene overexpression, reporter genes and yeast two hybrid analysis.
Project description:RNA seq analysis was performed using adpA-deleted and adpA-overexpressed Streptomyces clavuligerus strains to determine its regulatory effect on tunicamycin and other secondary metabolites production
Project description:The RNA sequencing approach was utilized to carry out a comparative transcriptome analysis between Streptomyces hygroscopicus 5008 wild-type and a genetically engineered strain. The A-factor-like cascade play an important role in the regulation of validamycin biosynthesis by Streptomyces hygroscopicus 5008, and the pleiotropic regulator AdpA-H may positively regulate the transcription of gene cluster for the biosynthesis. shbR1 and shbR3 as the A-factor receptor homolog genes, could repress the transcription of AdpA-H. By tandem deletions of these genes, the production and productivity of validamcyin was significantly enhanced. To explore the effects of the shbR1/R3 double deletion of the overall cellular metabolism, the RNA sequencing approach was utilized to carry out a comparative transcriptome analysis between wild-type and shbR1/shbR3 double mutant (genetically engineered strain).
Project description:Gene expression in Streptomyces turgidiscabies pathogenicity island was studied after transferring cells into thaxtomin A inducing medium OBB using Agilent 60mer oligonucleotide array with probes designed for S.scabies and S.turgidiscabies. Gene expression study was used to confirm results of gene prediction.
Project description:Chitin is the second most abundant biopolymer present in soils and is utilized by antibiotic-producing Streptomyces species. Its monomer, N-acetylglucosamine (NAG), regulates the developmental program of the model organism Streptomyces coelicolor. NAG blocks differentiation when growing on rich medium whilst it promotes development on poor culture media. We report here the negative effect of NAG on tacrolimus (FK506) production in Streptomyces tsukubaensis NRRL 18488 growing on a defined rich medium. Using microarrays technology, we found that GlcNAc represses the transcription of fkbN, encoding the main transcriptional activator of the tacrolimus biosynthetic cluster, and of ppt1, encoding a phosphopantheteinyltransferase involved in tacrolimus biosynthesis. On the contrary, NAG stimulated transcription of genes related to amino acid and nucleotide biosynthesis, DNA replication, RNA translation, glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, and key gene members of the PHO regulon. The results obtained support those previously reported for S. coelicolor, but some important differences were observed
