Project description:Purpose: Streptomyces albulus is an industrial producer of ε-poly-L-lysine, an antimicrobial cationic homo poly-amino acid used practically as a natural food preservative. Here, we present RNA sequencing data set unveiling differentially expressed transcripts during ε-poly-L-lysine production in the most extensively studied poly-L-Lys producer, S. albulus NBRC14147. Methods: During the poly-L-Lys fermentation, cells grown for 8 hours and 35 hours were harvested as growth phase cells and production phase cells, respectively, and total RNA were extracted individually. A 100-bp paired-end mRNA sequencing was performed for each sample on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system. Result: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we were able to map more than 44 million sequence reads per sample to the reference genome (GenBank accession number ASM385166v1). Differential gene expression analysis was performed using the edgeR. The RNA-seq data revealed that a total of 2449 genes were considered to be differentially expressed during poly-L-Lys production using a fold change cutoff of log2 less than -1 and greater than 1 (equivalent to a ±2-fold change). Conclusion: Our data will serve as a primary source for investigating the regulatory mechanism which govern poly-L-Lys production in S. albulus NBRC14147.

Project description:ε-poly-L-lysine (ε-PL) is a high value, widely used natural antimicrobial peptide additive for foods and cosmetic products that is mainly produced by S. albulus. In previous work, we developed the high-yield industrial strain S. albulus WG-608 through successive rounds of engineering. Here, we use integrated physiological, transcriptomic, and proteomics association analysis to resolve the complex mechanisms underlying high ε-PL production by comparing WG-608 with the progenitor strain M-Z18. Our results show that key genes in the glycolysis, glyoxylate, and L-lysine biosynthesis pathways are differentially upregulated in WG-608, while genes in the biosynthetic pathways for fatty acids, various branched amino acids, and secondary metabolite by-products are downregulated. This regulatory pattern results in the introduction of more carbon atoms into L-lysine biosynthesis and ε-PL production. Furthermore, transcriptional and translational upregulation of genes involved in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, oxidative phosphorylation, and pentose phosphate pathway also increase the pools of available NADH, ATP, and NADPH. In addition, significant changes in the regulation of DNA replication, transcription, and translation, two component systems, and quorum sensing may facilitate the adaptability to environmental pressure, thus further regulating the ε-PL biosynthesis. This study enables comprehensive understanding of the biosynthetic mechanisms of ε-PL in S. albulus WG-608, while providing a theoretical foundation development of advanced Streptomycetaceae microbial cell factories.

Project description:We propose an isolation strategy based on a broad-spectrum antimicrobial epsilon-poly-L–lysine (ε-PL) to precipitate bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs) at a relatively low centrifugal speed (10,000 × g). Compared to the standard ultracentrifugation (UC) strategy, our method can enrich BEVs from large volumes of media inexpensively and rapidly. The precipitated BEVs can be recovered by adjusting pH and ionic strength of the media, followed by ultrafiltration step to remove ε-PL and achieve buffer exchange. To address whether BEVs isolated by these two methods lead to different host responses, we isolated Escherichia coli (E. coli) and Staphylococcus aureus BEVs from bacterial culture media using ultracentrifugation and our ε-poly- L-lysine-based method, respectively. Then we stimulated THP-1 cells with the isolated BEVs and the global transcript profiles were evaluated by the RNA-seq technique. Compared with the unstimulated THP-1 cells, BEV isolated by both methods could trigger a striking alteration in the gene expression pattern. Among the functions significantly enriched by these DEGs were immune response and leucocyte chemotaxis. The results indicated that the BEVs isolated by the ε-PL-based method also retained the in vitro biological activity as the commonly used ultracentrifugation.

Project description:Both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria can release vesicle-like structures referred as bacterial extracellular vesicles (BEVs), which contain various bioactive compounds. BEVs play important roles in the microbial community interactions and host-microbe interactions. Markedly, BEVs can be delivered to host cell, thus modulating the development and function of the innate immune system. To clarify the compositions and biological functions of BEVs, these vesicles need to be collected with high purity and bioactivity. Here we propose an isolation strategy based on a broad-spectrum antimicrobial epsilon-poly-L–lysine (ε-PL) to precipitate BEVs at a relatively low centrifugal speed (10,000 × g). Compared to the standard ultracentrifugation strategy, our method can enrich BEVs from large volumes of media inexpensively and rapidly. The precipitated BEVs can be recovered by adjusting pH and ionic strength of the media, followed by ultrafiltration step to remove ε-PL and achieve buffer exchange. Protein compositions of the BEVs enriched by ultracentrifugation and ε-PL-based method are measured using LC-MS/MS. The resultant data indicate that protein compositions of the ε-PL-precipitated BEVs are comparable to those purified by ultracentrifugation.

Project description:ε-Poly-l-lysine (ε-PL), consisting of 25 to 35 l-lysine residues with linkages between the α-carboxyl groups and ε-amino groups, is produced by Streptomyces albulus NBRC14147. ε-PL synthetase (Pls) is a membrane protein with six transmembrane domains (TM1 to TM6) as well as both an adenylation domain and a thiolation domain, characteristic of the nonribosomal peptide synthetases. Pls directly generates ε-PL chain length diversity (25- to 35-mer), but the processes that control the chain length of ε-PL during the polymerization reaction are still not fully understood. Here, we report on the identification of Pls amino acid residues involved in the regulation of the ε-PL chain length. From approximately 12,000 variants generated by random mutagenesis, we found 8 Pls variants that produced shorter chains of ε-PL. These variants have one or more mutations in two linker regions connecting the TM1 and TM2 domains and the TM3 and TM4 domains. In the Pls catalytic mechanism, the growing chain of ε-PL is not tethered to the enzyme, implying that the enzyme must hold the growing chain until the polymerization reaction is complete. Our findings reveal that the linker regions are important contributors to grasp the growing chain of ε-PL.

Project description:PurposeTo determine the amoebicidal activity of functionalized poly-epsilon-lysine hydrogels (pɛK+) against Acanthamoeba castellanii.MethodsA. castellanii trophozoites and cysts were grown in the presence of pɛK solution (0-2.17 mM), pɛK or pɛK+ hydrogels, or commercial hydrogel contact lens (CL) for 24 hours or 7 days in PBS or Peptone-Yeast-Glucose (PYG) media (nutrient-deplete or nutrient-replete cultures, respectively). Toxicity was determined using propidium iodide and imaged using fluorescence microscopy. Ex vivo porcine corneas were inoculated with A. castellanii trophozoites ± pɛK, pɛK+ hydrogels or commercial hydrogel CL for 7 days. Corneal infection was assessed by periodic acid-Schiff staining and histologic analysis. Regrowth of A. castellanii from hydrogel lenses and corneal discs at 7 days was assessed using microscopy and enumeration.ResultsThe toxicity of pɛK+ hydrogels resulted in the death of 98.52% or 83.31% of the trophozoites at 24 hours or 7 days, respectively. The toxicity of pɛK+ hydrogels resulted in the death of 70.59% or 82.32% of the cysts in PBS at 24 hours or 7 days, respectively. Cysts exposed to pɛK+ hydrogels in PYG medium resulted in 75.37% and 87.14% death at 24 hours and 7 days. Ex vivo corneas infected with trophozoites and incubated with pɛK+ hydrogels showed the absence of A. castellanii in the stroma, with no regrowth from corneas or pɛK+ hydrogel, compared with infected-only corneas and those incubated in presence of commercial hydrogel CL.ConclusionspɛK+ hydrogels demonstrated pronounced amoebicidal and cysticidal activity against A. castellanii. pɛK+ hydrogels have the potential for use as CLs that could minimize the risk of CL-associated Acanthamoeba keratitis.

Project description:ε-Poly-lysine (ε-PL) is an uncommon cationic, naturally-occurring homopolymer produced by the fermentation process. Due to its significant antimicrobial activity and nontoxicity to humans, ε-PL is now industrially produced as an additive, e.g. for food and cosmetics. However, the biosynthetic route can only make polymers with a molecular weight of about 3 kDa. Here, we report a new chemical strategy based on ring-opening polymerization (ROP) to obtain ε-PL from lysine. The 2,5-dimethylpyrrole protected α-amino-ε-caprolactam monomer was prepared through cyclization of lysine followed by protection. ROP of this monomer, followed by the removal of the protecting group, 2,5-dimethylpyrrole, ultimately yielded ε-PL with varying molecular weights. The structure of this chemosynthetic ε-PL has been fully characterized by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, and MALDI-TOF MS analyses. This chemosynthetic ε-PL exhibited a similar pKa value and low cytotoxicity as the biosynthetic analogue. Using this new chemical strategy involving ROP without the need for phosgene may enable a more cost effective production of ε-PL on a larger-scale, facilitating the design of more advanced biomaterials.
