Project description:The Streptomyces coelicolor two genes operon SCO5784-SCO5785 encodes a two-component system which functions in a similar manner to that of the Bacillus subtilis DegS-DegU system. Propagation of the regulatory gene in high copy number results in the overproduction of several extracellular enzymes, among them the major extracellular protease, as well as in a higher level of synthesis of the antibiotic actinorhodin. This two-component system seems to control various processes characterised by the transition from primary to secondary metabolism in S. coelicolor, as determined by proteomic and transcriptomic analices. The presence of the regulatory gene in high copy number in S. coelicolor additionally seems to elicit a stringent response in the bacterial cell. Therefore, we propose renaming S. coelicolor genes SCO5784 and SCO5785 as degS and degU, respectively.

All microarray analyses were performed with RNA samples obtained from three independent cultures grown under identical conditions. Hybridisation assays were carried out with cDNA obtained from RNA extracted at the late exponential phase of growth (24h). The transcriptional profile of wild type (S. coelicolor M145) cells carrying the multicopy plasmid pIJ487 was compared with that of the same strain carrying the degU gene cloned in the same plasmid under the control of its own promoter (S. coelicolor M28). And the transcriptional profile of wild type (S, coelicolor M145) cells was compared to that of the DegU deficient strain (S. coelicolor I32).
Project description:We determined genes that directly or indirectly regulated by CatR (or PerR), and hydrogen peroxide regulon in Streptomyces coelicolor.
Project description:Global regulation by the Streptomyces coelicolor atypical MerR-like transcription factor BldC. BldC is a transcriptional regulator essential for morphological development and antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor. Here we identify the BldC regulon by means of chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) microarray analysis. The BldC regulon encompasses at least 201 transcriptional units, which include many genes that play key roles in Streptomyces development (e.g., bldC itself, bldB, bldM, whiB, whiD, whiI, sigF, smeA-sffA, hupS), antibiotic production (e.g., afsK) and stress response (e.g., clpB, nsrR, sigE, sigF). All BldC-binding sites identified by ChIP-chip are present in the promoters of the target genes. In vitro DNA-binding experiments show that BldC is capable of binding DNA specifically in the absence of other proteins and suggest that BldC is a minor-groove DNA-binding protein. The regulon of BldC partially overlaps with that of the pleiotropic regulator BldD. BldC and BldD bind to distinct sites in the promoter region of smeA, where they simultaneously repress its transcription.
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:BldD is a transcriptional regulator essential for morphological development and antibiotic production in Streptomyces coelicolor. Here we identify the BldD regulon by means of chromatin immunoprecipitation. The BldD regulon encompasses ~167 transcriptional units, of which more than 20 are known to play important roles in development and/or secondary metabolism. Strikingly, 42 BldD target genes (~25% of the regulon) encode regulatory proteins, stressing the central, pleiotropic role of BldD. Almost all BldD-binding sites identified by ChIP-chip are present in the promoters of the target genes. An exception is the tRNA gene bldA, where BldD binds within the region encoding the primary transcript, immediately downstream of the position corresponding to the processed, mature 3′-end of the tRNA. We identified a novel BldD target gene (cdgA) that influences differentiation and antibiotic production. cdgA encodes a GGDEF domain protein, implicating c-di-GMP in the regulation of Streptomyces development.
Project description:We determined Streptomyces coelicolor genes that are directly regulated by WblC (or WhiB7), an actinobacterial transcription factor that activates expression of intrinsic resistance in response to translation-inhibitory antibiotic stress. Identification of differentially expressed genes in wblC mutant by RNA-seq and WblC binding sites in wild type by ChIP-seq identified more than 300 genes as WblC regulon. This series encompasses the ChIP-seq data of our study.
