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: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: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: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:Investigation of whole genome gene expression level changes in Streptomyces avermitilis delta-aveI mutant, compared to the wild-type strain. The mutants analyzed in this study are further described in Chen L, Lu Y., Chen J, Zhang W, Shu D, Qin Z, Yang S, Jiang W. (2008) Characterization of a negative regulator AveI for avermectin biosynthesis in Streptomyces avermitilis NRRL8165. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 80(2): 277-86.
Project description:ForJ, ForF and ForZ are cluster situated regulators of the formicamycin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces forimcae. This ChIP Sequencing experiment was conducted to identify where in the genome these regulators bind in order to identify which transcripts they might regulate.
Project description:The whiH gene is required for the differentiation of aerial hyphae into spores in Streptomyces species. It is a predicted member of the GntR family of transcription factors and has been shown to bind specifically to a sequence in its own promoter. This ChIP-Seq experiment was carried out to determine all the binding sites whiH binds to in the genome of Streptomyces venezuelae. A whiH deletion strain was made and a FLAG tagged whiH protein was expressed in it from a genome-integrated plasmid. Then anti-FLAG antibodies were used for chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by high throughput sequencing. The wild type Streptomyces venezuelae strain (ATCC 10712) was used as a negative control. For both the FLAG-WhiH strain and the WT strain, non-immunoprecipitated (total) DNA was also sequenced to arrive at a background enrichment which could be subtracted from the enrichment in the immunoprecipated sample.
