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:The chromosomes of several widely used laboratory derivatives of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) were found to have 1.06 Mb inverted repeat sequences at their termini (i.e. long-terminal inverted repeats; L-TIRs), which are 50 times the length of the 22 kb TIRs of the sequenced S. coelicolor strain M145. The L-TIRs include 1005 annotated genes and increase the overall chromosome size to 9.7 Mb. The 1.06 Mb L-TIRs are the longest reported thus far for an actinomycete, and are proposed to represent the chromosomal state of the original soil isolate of S. coelicolor A3(2). S. coelicolor A3(2), M600 and J1501 possess L-TIRs, whereas approximately half the examined early mutants of A3(2) generated by ultraviolet (UV) or X-ray mutagenesis have truncated their TIRs to the 22 kb length. UV radiation was found to stimulate L-TIR truncation. Two copies of a transposase gene (SCO0020) flank 1.04 Mb of DNA in the right L-TIR, and recombination between them appears to generate strains containing short TIRs. This TIR reduction mechanism may represent a general strategy by which transposable elements can modulate the structure of chromosome ends. The presence of L-TIRs in certain S. coelicolor strains represents a major chromosomal alteration in strains previously thought to be genetically similar.

Project description:The goal was to study the dfactionation of different lignocelullose (glucose, wheat bran, wheat straw) by Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and the corresponding production of secondary metabolites. This was performed by multi-omic experiment such as transcriptomic/metabolomic and leads to the production of new metabolites. For that, the strain Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) was subjected to two carbon sources in triplicate (wheat bran and glucose as control). Enzymatic activities were studied at different times and the expression of CAZYmes was studied by transcriptomic in order to detect which enzymes are needed for each carbon source
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.
