N2 - In the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), small open reading frames encoding proteins with unknown functions were identified in several amino acid biosynthetic gene operons, such as SCO2038 (trpX) in the tryptophan trpCXBA locus. In this study, the role of the corresponding protein in tryptophan biosynthesis was investigated by combining phenotypic and molecular analyses. The 2038KO mutant strain was characterized by delayed growth, smaller aerial hyphae and reduced production of spores and actinorhodin antibiotic, with respect to the WT strain. The capability of this mutant to grow on minimal medium was ...
A homologue of the bacterial cell division gene ftsZ was cloned from the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor. The gene was located on the physical map of the chromosome at about 11 oclock (in the vicinity of glkA, hisA and trpB). Surprisingly, a null mutant in which the 399-codon ftsZ open reading frame was largely deleted was viable, even though the mutant was blocked in septum formation. This indicates that cell division may not be essential for the growth and viability of S. coelicolor. The ftsZ mutant was able to produce aerial hyphae but was unable to produce spores, a finding consistent with the idea that ftsZ is required in order for aerial hyphae to undergo septation into the uninucleoid cells that differentiate into spores. ...

Cell division in the Gram-positive bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor starts with the assembly of the tubulin homologue FtsZ into a cytokinetic ring (the Z ring) at the site of septation. In stark contrast to the binary fission of most bacteria, the syncytial hyphal cells of S. coelicolor exploit two types of cell division with strikingly different outcomes depending on the developmental stage. The main goal of this study has been to identify developmental mechanisms that modulate this differential performance of the basic cell division machinery.. By isolation and characterization of a non-sporulating ftsZ mutant, we demonstrated that the requirements for Z-ring formation differ between the two types of septation. The ftsZ17(Spo) mutation abolished septation without overtly affecting vegetative growth. This mutant was defective in the assembly of FtsZ into regularly spaced Z rings in sporogenic hyphae, suggesting that the assembly of Z rings is developmentally controlled during ...
Systems biology approaches to study metabolic switching in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) depend on cultivation conditions ensuring high reproducibility and distinct phases of culture growth and secondary metabolite production. In addition, biomass concentrations must be sufficiently high to allow for extensive time-series sampling before occurrence of a given nutrient depletion for transition triggering. The present study describes for the first time the development of a dedicated optimized submerged batch fermentation strategy as the basis for highly time-resolved systems biology studies of metabolic switching in S. coelicolor A3(2). By a step-wise approach, cultivation conditions and two fully defined cultivation media were developed and evaluated using strain M145 of S. coelicolor A3(2), providing a high degree of cultivation reproducibility and enabling reliable studies of the effect of phosphate depletion and L-glutamate depletion on the metabolic transition to antibiotic production phase.
Summary: Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and S. lividans 66, which lack chloramphenicol acetyltransferase, gave rise to chloramphenicol-sensitive (Cmls) variants spontaneously at frequencies of 0·5 to 2%. The fertility type of S. coelicolor in respect of the scP1 plasmid (SCP1+, SCP1− or NF) had no effect on chloramphenicol sensitivity or on the frequency at which Cmls variants arose. Cmls isolates spontaneously reverted to CmlR at frequencies one to three orders of magnitude lower than the frequency with which Cmls strains arose from CmlR CmlR revertants obtained spontaneously from Cmls clones again produced Cmls isolates at the normal frequency of several per cent. Therefore, Cmls and CmlR are reversible phenotypes. In crosses between marked Cml r and Cml s S. coelicolor strains, transfer of chloramphenicol resistance into the sensitive strain apparently occurred independently of chromosomal recombination. Mapping experiments excluded the possibility that segregation of a chromosomal locus determines
Malate synthases (MS) from Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) and S. clavuligerus NRRL3585 were cloned by polymerase chain reaction into a glutathione S-transferase (GST) fusion expression vector and heterologously expressed in Escherichia coli. The fusion GST-MS construct improved the soluble expression of MS by approximately 10-fold compared to the soluble expression of nonfusion MS. With the significant improvement in levels of soluble MS, purification and subsequent cleavage of recombinant MS from GST were facilitated in this study. Using purified enzymes, optimized parameters, which achieved maximal specific activity, were established in the enzymatic assay for streptomycete MS. The average purified specific activities of S. coelicolorand S. clavuligerus MS were 26199 and 11821 nmol/mg min, respectively. Furthermore, enzymatic analysis revealed that the two streptomycete MS displayed a similar Km value for acetyl-CoA, but S. coelicolor MS had a Km value for glyoxylate that is approximately ...
In Streptomyces coelicolor, bldA encodes the only tRNA for a rare leucine codon, UUA. This tRNA is unnecessary for growth, but is required for some aspects of secondary metabolism and morphological development. We describe a transcriptomic and proteomic analysis of the effects of deleting bldA on cellular processes during submerged culture: conditions relevant to the industrial production of antibiotics. At the end of rapid growth, a co-ordinated transient up-regulation of about 100 genes, including many for ribosomal proteins, was seen in the parent strain but not the ΔbldA mutant. Increased basal levels of the signal molecule ppGpp in the mutant strain may be responsible for this difference. Transcripts or proteins from a further 147 genes classified as bldA-influenced were mostly expressed late in culture in the wild-type, though others were significantly transcribed during exponential growth. Some were involved in the biosynthesis of seven secondary metabolites; and some have probable roles in
The publication of the S. coelicolor genome sequence has stimulated interest in the possibility of rationally engineering strains by predicting the effect(s) of altering specific genes on secondary metabolite production. The work described here aims to design a general approach that could be applied to enhance the production of commercially important antibiotics that have similar biosynthetic routes as actinorhodin (ACT). It has been observed that a negative correlation between ACT production and the carbon flux through the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) exists. As a result, strains with deletions for either one of the two zwf isogenes (encoding the enzyme that catalyses the initial PPP reaction) and for the devB gene (whose product catalyses the subsequent reaction in the pathway) were constructed and assessed. All strains, with the exception of the devB mutant, were found to generate increased levels of ACT compared to the parental strain. In addition to these strains, the above genotypes ...
Four germicidin homologs were isolated from a liquid culture of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). These were identified as germicidins A, B and C, and surugapyrone A (germicidin D). Absolute stereochemistry of the chiral center in germicidins A and C is determined to be S. All germicidins inhibited ger …

This study provides the first detailed insights into the complex sequence of early regulatory events during and preceding the major metabolic switch in S. coelicolor, which will form the starting point for future attempts at engineering antibiotic production in a biotechnological setting. BackgroundDuring the lifetime of a fermenter culture, the soil bacterium S. coelicolor undergoes a major metabolic switch from exponential growth to antibiotic production. We have studied gene expression patterns during this switch, using a specifically designed Affymetrix genechip and a high-resolution time-series of fermenter-grown samples.ResultsSurprisingly, we find that the metabolic switch actually consists of multiple finely orchestrated switching events. Strongly coherent clusters of genes show drastic changes in gene expression already many hours before the classically defined transition phase where the switch from primary to secondary metabolism was expected. The main switch in gene expression takes only 2

Streptomyces spp. have developed complicated mechanisms to adapt their metabolism to the change of the extracellular environments (16). Among these mechanisms, cross talk between different regulators may integrate different signal inputs through fine-tuning the expression of key target genes (10, 15). A regulatory link between nitrogen metabolism and phosphate metabolism was proposed in S. coelicolor, which was coordinated by PhoP through directly binding to the promoters of the nitrogen metabolism-associated genes, including glnA, glnII, and amtB (14). However, the roadblock mechanism suggested for amtB was different from that of the proposed competitive binding for glnA and glnII.. Based on the DNase I footprinting data, we defined, in the present study, a new GlnR binding box comprising of an a3-b3 site in addition to the previously well characterized a1-b1 and a2-b2 sites in the promoter region of amtB (22). All of the three GlnR binding boxes were proven essential for GlnR-mediated ...
Chaplin F (Chp F) is a secreted surface-active peptide involved in the aerial growth of Streptomyces. While Chp E demonstrates a pH-responsive surface activity, the relationship between Chp F structure, function and the effect of solution pH is unknown. Chp F peptides were found to self-assemble into amyloid fibrils at acidic pH (3.0 or the isoelectric point (pI) of 4.2), with ~99% of peptides converted into insoluble fibrils. In contrast, Chp F formed short assemblies containing a mixture of random coil and β-sheet structure at a basic pH of 10.0, where only 40% of the peptides converted to fibrils. The cysteine residues in Chp F did not appear to play a role in fibril assembly. The interfacial properties of Chp F at the air/water interface were altered by the structures adopted at different pH, with Chp F molecules forming a higher surface-active film at pH 10.0 with a lower area per molecule compared to Chp F fibrils at pH 3.0. These data show that the pH responsiveness of Chp F surface activity is
Matt Hutchings Key Research Interests We are interested in how bacteria interact with the environment and how they sense and respond to environmental signals. All bacteria contain a cell envelope which consists of at least one cell membrane and (in most cases) a cell wall. Bacteria interact with their environment using cell surface proteins which are anchored either in the cell wall or the cell membrane. We are characterising two classes of these proteins in the filamentous bacteria Streptomyces. The first class are called sensor kinases and they span the membrane and transmit signals from the outside to the inside of the cell. They pass these signals to cognate response regulator proteins inside the cell and these bring about a response to the original signal, usually by altering gene expression. The second class are called lipoproteins and are attached by a lipid modification to the outside of the cell membrane. They have diverse roles including the scavenging of nutrients, surface attachment, ...
Streptomycetes sense and respond to the stress of phosphate starvation via the two-component PhoR-PhoP signal transduction system. To identify the in vivo targets of PhoP we have undertaken a chromatin-immunoprecipitation-on-microarray analysis of wild-type and phoP mutant cultures and, in parallel, have quantified their transcriptomes. Most (ca. 80%) of the previously in vitro characterized PhoP targets were identified in this study among several hundred other putative novel PhoP targets. In addition to activating genes for phosphate scavenging systems PhoP was shown to target two gene clusters for cell wall/extracellular polymer biosynthesis. Furthermore PhoP was found to repress an unprecedented range of pathways upon entering phosphate limitation including nitrogen assimilation, oxidative phosphorylation, nucleotide biosynthesis and glycogen catabolism. Moreover, PhoP was shown to target many key genes involved in antibiotic production and morphological differentiation, including afsS, atrA, ...

Soil-dwelling Streptomyces bacteria such as S.coelicolor have to constantly adapt to the nitrogen (N) availability in their habitat. Thus, strict transcriptional and post-translational control of the N-assimilation is fundamental for survival of this species. GlnR is a global response regulator that controls transcription of the genes related to the N-assimilation in S. coelicolor and other members of the Actinomycetales. GlnR represents an atypical orphan response regulator that is not activated by the phosphorylation of the conserved aspartate residue (Asp 50). We have applied transcriptional analysis, LC-MS/MS analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSAs) to understand the regulation of GlnR in S. coelicolor M145. The expression of glnR and GlnR-target genes was revisited under four different N-defined conditions and a complex N-rich condition. Although, the expression of selected GlnR-target genes was strongly responsive to changing N-concentrations, the glnR expression itself ...

We have determined the X-ray crystal structure of CYP105N1 at 2.9 Å and analyzed it in the context of the bacterial CYP105 family as a whole. The crystal structure reveals a channel between the α-helical domain and the β-sheet domain exposing the heme pocket and the long helix I to the solvent. This wide-open conformation of CYP105N1 may be related to the bulky substrate coelibactin. ...

SUMMARY: A series of 76 mutants of Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) specifically blocked in the synthesis of the binaphthoquinone antibiotic actinorhodin were classified into seven phenotypic classes on the basis of antibiotic activity, accumulation of pigmented precursors or shunt products of actinorhodin biosynthesis, and cosynthesis of actinorhodin in pairwise combinations of mutants. The polarity of cosynthetic reactions, and other phenotypic properties, allowed six of the mutant classes to be arranged in the most probable linear sequence of biosynthetic blocks. One member of each mutant class was mapped unambiguously to the chromosomal linkage map in the short segment between the hisD and guaA loci, suggesting that structural genes for actinorhodin biosynthesis may form an uninterrupted cluster of chromosomal genes.
Microbial lipid production represents a potential alternative feedstock for the biofuel and oleochemical industries. Since Escherichia coli exhibits many genetic, technical, and biotechnological advantages over native oleaginous bacteria, we aimed to construct a metabolically engineered E. coli strain capable of accumulating high levels of triacylglycerol (TAG) and evaluate its neutral lipid productivity during high cell density fed-batch fermentations. The Streptomyces coelicolor TAG biosynthesis pathway, defined by the acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT) Sco0958 and the phosphatidic acid phosphatase (PAP) Lppβ, was successfully reconstructed in an E. coli diacylglycerol kinase (dgkA) mutant strain. TAG production in this genetic background was optimized by increasing the levels of the TAG precursors, diacylglycerol and long-chain acyl-CoAs. For this we carried out a series of stepwise optimizations of the chassis by 1) fine-tuning the expression of the heterologous SCO0958 and lpp β genes
Researchers are exploring a method of producing powerful antibiotics called prodiginines which may also have potentials as anti-cancer drugs. Because these compounds are difficult to synthesize chemically, researchers are looking coaxing microorganisms to produce them.. Professor Greg Challis and colleagues in the Chemistry Department of the University of Warwick have looked at the enzymes controlling the process that allows the bacterium Streptomyces coelicolor to create streptorubin B and have gained a clear understanding of which are the key enzymes that act at particular steps of that process. By manipulation of the enzyme content of the bacteria, they aim to produce a range of different compounds based closely on the form of streptorubin B normally formed by the bacteria. Some of these analogues of streptorubin B could provide the basis for developing useful new anti cancer drugs..

Despite screening various growth media, we failed to detect the production of any 2-hydroxyphenylthiazoline-containing metabolites by S. venezuelae. This is potentially explained by the low levels of sven0516 expression in the bldM mutant (Fig. 3), which is surprising given that sven0517 is likely to be in the same operon, and possibly reflects differential mRNA stability for the two genes. We therefore elected to express the sven0503-sven0517 gene cluster in the engineered host S. coelicolor M1152.23 A clone (SV-2_E03) from an ordered genomic cosmid library of the S. venezuelae chromosome containing a segment extending from sven0496 to sven0518 was PCR-targeted in Escherichia coli with a 5.2 kb SspI fragment from pIJ10702 that contains oriT, and the øC31 integrase gene and phage attachment site (attP). The resulting cosmid, SV-2_E03::SspI, was introduced into S. coelicolor M1152 by conjugation, whereupon it integrated into the chromosomal øC31 attB site. Wild type S. coelicolor M1152 and the ...
The anti-anti-sigma factor BldG has a pleiotropic function in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), regulating both morphological and physiological differentiation. Together with the anti-sigma factor UshX, it participates in a partner-switching activation of the sigma factor σH, which has a dual role in the osmotic stress response and morphological differentiation in S. coelicolor A3(2). In addition to UshX, BldG also interacts with the anti-sigma factor ApgA, although no target sigma factor has yet been identified. However, neither UshX nor ApgA phosphorylates BldG. This phosphorylation is provided by the anti-sigma factor RsfA, which is specific for the late developmental sigma factor σF. However, BldG is phosphorylated in the rsfA mutant, suggesting that some other anti-sigma factors containing HATPase_c kinase domain are capable to phosphorylate BldG in vivo. Bacterial two-hybrid system (BACTH) was therefore used to investigate the interactions of all suitable anti-sigma factors of S. coelicolor ...
The complete genome of S. coelicolor strain A3(2) was published in 2002.[12] At the time, the S. coelicolor genome was thought to contain the largest number of genes of any bacterium.[12] The chromosome is 8,667,507 bp long with a GC-content of 72.1%, and is predicted to contain 7,825 protein-encoding genes.[12] In terms of taxonomy, S. coelicolor A3(2) belongs to the species S. violaceoruber, and is not a validly described separate species; S. coelicolor A3(2) is not to be mistaken for the actual S. coelicolor (Müller), although it is often referred to as S. coelicolor for convenience.[13] The first complete genome sequence of S. avermitilis was completed in 2003.[14] Each of these genomes forms a chromosome with a linear structure, unlike most bacterial genomes, which exist in the form of circular chromosomes.[15] The genome sequence of S. scabies, a member of the genus with the ability to cause potato scab disease, has been determined at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.

2002). Many members of this genus of Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacteria have atypically large genes (>10 kb in size) encoding multimodular polyketide synthases and nonribosomal peptide synthetases that catalyze the biosynthesis of polyketide and nonribosomal peptide antibiotics, respectively (Bentley et al., 2002). The expression of the extraordinarily large genes encoding these mega-enzymes has long been a curiosity (Lipmann et al., 1971; Schwarzer et al., 2003). Three of the largest genes in. the S. coelicolor genome encode the nonribosomal peptide synthetases CDA PSI, CDA PSII, and CDA PSIII (Bentley et al., 2002). The cdaPSI gene (SCO3230) is the largest gene in S. coelicolor at 22 391 bp (Bentley et al., 2002). cdaPSII (SCO3231) and cdaPSIII (SCO3232) are 11 012 and 7253 bp in size, respectively (Bentley et al., 2002; http://strepdb.streptomyces.org.uk).

Streptomyces coelicolor has several unique features that make it ideal for analysis of bacterial cell division. First, it is the only known FtsZ-containing bacterium in which the ftsZ gene is dispensable and can be deleted. Second, this organism has two forms of cell division, of which one is the developmentally regulated sporulation septation that converts aerial hyphae into chains of spores (Fig. 1; Flärdh et al., 2000). Third, the spore pigment works as an excellent built-in reporter in genetic analyses of this cell division. Finally, the formation of many tens of closely spaced Z rings in a single cell involves remodelling of highly dynamic helical structures into a series of rings (Fig. 1 and 2; Grantcharova et al., 2005). This makes the sporulation process highly sensitive to disturbances in FtsZ polymerisation dynamics, and it is therefore a great model to investigate this central aspect of cell division.. ...
Streptomyces coelicolor literally bites into the surface of rocks to extract iron, says Susan Brantley at Pennsylvania State University in University Park. The bacterium secretes a compound that makes pits in the rock and allows it to take up iron.. Understanding how these microbes survive extreme environments and extract metals could help scientists manipulate microbes to clean up dangerous chemicals or microbes. Scientists at the University of California, Santa Barbara, looked no further than the ocean outside their laboratory for new ways to make silicon. It takes a lot of energy to manufacture the silicon used to make semiconductors and microchips found in CDs, computers and televisions. So Dan Morse of Santa Barbara and his colleagues turned to ocean sponges. The organism makes glassy silica needles as part of its spine. The researchers used the sponge DNA to design synthetic molecules that resemble the silica proteins. The natural, low-energy manufacture of silicon by the sponge could ...
Despite their potential negative effects on our health or our economy, streptomycetes are mostly notable because of their ability to produce useful compounds (antibiotics, antitumor, immunosuppressive drugs...) and industrial enzymes (proteases, xylanases, cellulases...). Of course, the term useful can be understood only under our human point of view. Imagine that you are a soil microbe, living in close proximity to a streptomycete. You probably dont like your neighbor: it produces antibiotics and other substances that may affect your growth or even kill you and, if the worse happens, the damned streptomycete is well equipped with digestive enzymes to feed on your carcass. It is really an awful neighbor. Under your point of view, the word saprophyte does not make it justice at all. But, would you call it a predator ...
