Streptomyces violaceoruber grown in co-culture with Streptomyces aburaviensis produces an about 17-fold higher volume of droplets on its aerial mycelium than in single-culture. Physical separation of the Streptomyces strains by either a plastic barrier or by a dialysis membrane, which allowed communication only by the exchange of volatile compounds or diffusible compounds in the medium, respectively, still resulted in enhanced droplet formation. The application of molecular sieves to bioassays resulted in the attenuation of the droplet-inducing effect of S. aburaviensis indicating the absorption of the compound. 1H-NMR analysis of molecular-sieve extracts and the selective indophenol-blue reaction revealed that the volatile droplet-inducing compound is ammonia. The external supply of ammonia in biologically relevant concentrations of ≥8 mM enhanced droplet formation in S. violaceoruber in a similar way to S. aburaviensis. Ammonia appears to trigger droplet production in many Streptomyces strains because four out of six Streptomyces strains exposed to ammonia exhibited induced droplet production. 相似文献

The aim of this investigation is to produce and characterize biosurfactant from Streptomyces sp. HRB1 and to evaluate its biomedical and bioremediation potential. Biosurfactant producing property of Streptomyces sp. HRB1 isolated from petroleum contaminated soil was confirmed by hemolytic and oil spread assays. Based on the results of FT-IR spectral and GC–MS analysis, the biosurfactant was confirmed as glycolipid type. Biosurfactant from Streptomyces sp. HRB1 exhibited 71% inhibition against Pseudomonas aeruginosa biofilm formation, 77.33% quorum sensing inhibition property against Chromobacterium violeceum MTCC 2656, more than 80% inhibition in antioxidant assays namely, DPPH, ABTS, and metal chelation, promising anti-proliferative activity against leukemia and myeloma cells with low IC50 values, 96% decolorization of malachite green within 48 h of reaction time, and minimal toxicity against normal cell lines in dose-dependent manner. The taxonomic position of the potential strain HRB1 was further confirmed as Streptomyces enissocaesilis HRB1 based on their phenotypic and molecular characteristics. To conclude, Streptomyces enissocaesilis HRB1 isolated from petroleum-contaminated soil is a promising source for low-cost production of glycolipid biosurfactant with potential biomedical and environmental applications such as antiphytofungal, antibiofilm, anti-quorum sensing, antioxidant, anticancer, and dye degradation properties. 相似文献

Identification of Fluorinases from Streptomyces sp MA37, Norcardia brasiliensis,and Actinoplanes sp N902‐109 by Genome Mining 下载免费PDF全文

The fluorinase is an enzyme that catalyses the combination of S‐adenosyl‐L ‐methionine (SAM) and a fluoride ion to generate 5′‐fluorodeoxy adenosine (FDA) and L ‐methionine through a nucleophilic substitution reaction with a fluoride ion as the nucleophile. It is the only native fluorination enzyme that has been characterised. The fluorinase was isolated in 2002 from Streptomyces cattleya, and, to date, this has been the only source of the fluorinase enzyme. Herein, we report three new fluorinase isolates that have been identified by genome mining. The novel fluorinases from Streptomyces sp. MA37, Nocardia brasiliensis, and an Actinoplanes sp. have high homology (80–87 % identity) to the original S. cattleya enzyme. They all possess a characteristic 21‐residue loop. The three newly identified genes were overexpressed in E. coli and shown to be fluorination enzymes. An X‐ray crystallographic study of the Streptomyces sp. MA37 enzyme demonstrated that it is almost identical in structure to the original fluorinase. Culturing of the Streptomyces sp. MA37 strain demonstrated that it not only also elaborates the fluorometabolites, fluoroacetate and 4‐fluorothreonine, similar to S. cattleya, but this strain also produces a range of unidentified fluorometabolites. These are the first new fluorinases to be reported since the first isolate, over a decade ago, and their identification extends the range of fluorination genes available for fluorination biotechnology. 相似文献

Detergent Compatible Extracellular Lipase from Streptomyces cellulosae AU‐10: A Green Alternative for the Detergent Industry 下载免费PDF全文
Rukiye Boran 《Journal of surfactants and detergents》2018,21(4):565-573
Enzymes can decrease the environmental and economic load of detergent products by reducing the amount of chemicals used in detergents and by allowing washing at ambient temperatures. In this study, Streptomyces cellulosae AU‐10 (GenBank accession number: MG780240) lipase was purified 7.08‐fold with 68% yield using an aqueous 2‐phase system. The Streptomyces sp. AU‐10 lipase showed maximal activity at pH 9.0 and 40 °C. Hundred percent activities were measured in the pH range from 9.0 to 11.0 for 1 h. The enzyme was also highly stable at 30–50 °C. The values of Km and Vmax were calculated as 0.34 mM and 0.83 mM min?1, respectively. The lipase has high hydrolytic activity for olive oil and sunflower oil. The effect of ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid on the enzyme has shown that the lipase is a metalloenzyme. The activity increased in the presence of Fe2+, Cu2+, and various boron compounds. The enzyme has shown a good stability not only with surfactants but also with oxidizing agents. In addition, activities in the presence of Omo, Ariel, Tursil, Pril, and Fairy were measured as 108.8%, 115.6%, 98.35%, 140.4%, and 107.6%, respectively. Considering its remarkable ability, the S. cellulosae AU‐10 lipase can be considered as a potential additive in the detergent industry. 相似文献

Recently we described an unusual way of activating a cryptic gene cluster when we explored the origin of the bald phenotype of Streptomyces calvus. Complementation of S. calvus with a correct copy of bldA restored sporulation and additionally promoted production of a new natural products. In this study we report on the expression of bldA in several Streptomyces strains that have been described as “poorly sporulating” strains. In seven out of 15 cases, HPLC profiling revealed the production of new compounds, and in two cases the overproduction of known compounds. Two compounds were isolated and their structures were determined. 相似文献

Genome Mining of Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176: Characterization of the Nataxazole Biosynthesis Pathway 下载免费PDF全文

Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176 produces the cytotoxic benzoxazole nataxazole. Bioinformatic analysis of the genome of this organism predicts the presence of 38 putative secondary‐metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters, including those involved in the biosynthesis of AJI9561 and its derivative nataxazole, the antibiotic hygromycin B, and ionophores enterobactin and coelibactin. The nataxazole biosynthesis gene cluster was identified and characterized: it lacks the O‐methyltransferase gene required to convert AJI9561 into nataxazole. This O‐methyltransferase activity might act as a resistance mechanism, as AJI9561 shows antibiotic activity whereas nataxazole is inactive. Moreover, heterologous expression of the nataxazole biosynthesis gene cluster in S. lividans JT46 resulted in the production of AJI9561. Nataxazole biosynthesis requires the shikimate pathway to generate 3‐hydroxyanthranilate and an iterative type I PKS to generate 6‐methylsalicylate. Production of nataxazole was improved up to fourfold by disrupting one regulatory gene in the cluster. An additional benzoxazole, 5‐hydroxynataxazole is produced by Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176. 5‐Hydroxynataxazole derives from nataxazole by the activity of an as yet unidentified oxygenase; this implies cross‐talk between the nataxazole biosynthesis pathway and an unknown pathway. 相似文献

Crop infections by fungi lead to severe losses in food production and pose risks for human health. The increasing resistance of pathogens to fungicides has led to the higher usage of these chemicals, which burdens the environment and highlights the need to find novel natural biocontrol agents. Members of the genus Streptomyces are known to produce a plethora of bioactive compounds. Recently, researchers have turned to extreme and previously unexplored niches in the search for new strains with antimicrobial activities. One such niche are underground coal mine environments. We isolated the new Streptomyces sp. MW-W600-10 strain from coal mine water samples collected at 665 m below ground level. We examined the antifungal activity of the strain against plant pathogens Fusarium culmorum DSM62188 and Nigrospora oryzae roseF7. Furthermore, we analyzed the strain’s biosynthetic potential with the antiSMASH tool. The strain showed inhibitory activity against both fungi strains. Genome mining revealed that it has 39 BGCs, among which 13 did not show similarity to those in databases. Additionally, we examined the activity of the Streptomyces sp. S-2 strain isolated from black soot against F. culmorum DSM62188. These results show that coal-related strains could be a source of novel bioactive compounds. Future studies will elucidate their full biotechnological potential. 相似文献

Streptazone derivatives isolated from Streptomyces species are piperidine alkaloids with a cyclopenta[b]pyridine scaffold. Previous studies indicated that these compounds are polyketides, but the biosynthetic enzymes responsible for their synthesis are unknown. Here, we have identified the streptazone E biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces sp. MSC090213JE08, which encodes a modular type I PKS and tailoring enzymes that include an aminotransferase, three oxidoreductases, and two putative cyclases. The functions of the six tailoring enzymes were analyzed by gene disruption, and two putative biosynthetic intermediates that accumulated in particular mutants were structurally elucidated. On the basis of these results, we propose a pathway for the biosynthesis of streptazone E in which the two putative cyclases of the nuclear transport factor 2–like superfamily are responsible for C?C bond formation coupled with epoxide ring opening to give the five‐membered ring of streptazone E. 相似文献

Although genome mining has advanced the identification, discovery, and study of microbial natural products, the discovery of bacterial diterpenoids continues to lag behind. Herein, we report the identification of 66 putative producers of novel bacterial diterpenoids, and the discovery of the tiancilactone (TNL) family of antibiotics, by genome mining of type II diterpene synthases that do not possess the canonical DXDD motif. The TNLs, which are broad‐spectrum antibiotics with moderate activities, are produced by both Streptomyces sp. CB03234 and Streptomyces sp. CB03238 and feature a highly functionalized diterpenoid skeleton that is further decorated with chloroanthranilate and γ‐butyrolactone moieties. Genetic manipulation of the tnl gene cluster resulted in TNL congeners, which provided insights into their biosynthesis and structure–activity relationships. This work highlights the biosynthetic potential that bacteria possess to produce diterpenoids and should inspire continued efforts to discover terpenoid natural products from bacteria. 相似文献

A Membrane‐Bound Prenyltransferase Catalyzes the O‐Prenylation of 1,6‐Dihydroxyphenazine in the Marine Bacterium Streptomyces sp. CNQ‐509 下载免费PDF全文
Philipp Zeyhle Judith S. Bauer Marco Steimle Franziska Leipoldt Manuela Rösch Prof. Dr. Jörn Kalinowski Prof. Dr. Harald Gross Prof. Dr. Lutz Heide 《Chembiochem : a European journal of chemical biology》2014,15(16):2385-2392
Streptomyces sp. CNQ‐509 produces the rare O‐prenylated phenazines marinophenazines A and B. To identify the enzyme catalyzing the O‐prenyl transfer in marinophenazine biosynthesis, we sequenced the genome of S. sp. CNQ‐509. This led to the identification of two genomic loci harboring putative phenazine biosynthesis genes. The first locus contains orthologues for all seven genes involved in phenazine‐1‐carboxylic acid biosynthesis in pseudomonads. The second locus contains two known phenazine biosynthesis genes and a putative prenyltransferase gene termed cnqPT1. cnqPT1 codes for a membrane protein with sequence similarity to the prenyltransferase UbiA of ubiquinone biosynthesis. The enzyme CnqPT1 was identified as a 1,6‐dihydroxyphenazine geranyltransferase, which catalyzes the C?O bond formation between C‐1 of the geranyl moiety and O‐6 of the phenazine scaffold. CnqPT1 is the first example of a prenyltransferase catalyzing O‐prenyl transfer to a phenazine. 相似文献

In Vitro Reconstitution of a PKS Pathway for the Biosynthesis of Galbonolides in Streptomyces sp. LZ35 下载免费PDF全文
Dr. Chao Liu Dr. Jing Zhu Dr. Yaoyao Li Juanli Zhang Dr. Chunhua Lu Dr. Haoxin Wang Prof. Dr. Yuemao Shen 《Chembiochem : a European journal of chemical biology》2015,16(6):998-1007
The galbonolides are 14‐membered macrolide antibiotics with a macrocyclic backbone similar to that of erythromycins. Galbonolides exhibit broad‐spectrum antifungal activities. Retro‐biosynthetic analysis suggests that the backbone of galbonolides is assembled by a type I modular polyketide synthase (PKS). Unexpectedly, the galbonolide biosynthetic gene cluster, gbn, in Streptomyces sp. LZ35 encodes a hybrid fatty acid synthase (FAS)‐PKS pathway. In vitro reconstitution revealed the functions of GbnA (an AT‐ACP didomain protein), GbnC (a FabH‐like enzyme), and GbnB (a novel multidomain PKS module without AT and ACP domains) responsible for assembling the backbone of galbonolides, respectively. To our knowledge, this study is the first biochemical characterization of a hybrid FAS‐PKS pathway for the biosynthesis of 14‐membered macrolides. The identification of this pathway provides insights into the evolution of PKSs and could facilitate the design of modular pools for synthetic biology. 相似文献

Crosstalk of Nataxazole Pathway with Chorismate‐Derived Ionophore Biosynthesis Pathways in Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176 下载免费PDF全文
Carolina Cano‐Prieto Armando A. Losada Prof. Alfredo F. Braña Prof. Carmen Méndez Prof. José A. Salas Dr. Carlos Olano 《Chembiochem : a European journal of chemical biology》2015,16(13):1925-1932
Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176, producer of cytotoxic benzoxazoles AJI9561, nataxazole, and 5‐hydroxy‐nataxazole, has been found to produce a fourth benzoxazole, UK‐1. All derive from 3‐hydroxy‐anthranilate synthesized by the nataxazole biosynthesis machinery. However, biosynthesis of AJI9561, nataxazole, and 5‐hydroxy‐nataxazole requires 6‐methylsalicylic acid also provided by nataxazole biosynthesis pathway, while biosynthesis of UK‐1 utilizes salicylic acid produced by a salicylate synthase from the coelibactin biosynthesis pathway. This clearly suggests crosstalk between nataxazole and coelibactin pathways. Overproduction of UK‐1 was obtained by growing a nataxazole non‐producing mutant (lacking 6‐methylsalicylate synthase, NatPK) in a zinc‐deficient medium. Furthermore, Streptomyces sp. Tü 6176 also produces the siderophore enterobactin in an iron‐free medium. Enterobactin production can be induced in an iron‐independent manner by inactivating natAN, which encodes an anthranilate synthase involved in nataxazole production. The results indicate a close relationship between nataxazole, enterobactin and coelibactin pathways through the shikimate pathway, the source of their common precursor, chorismate. 相似文献

Hygrocins are naphthoquinone ansamycins with significant antitumor activities. Here, we report the identification and characterization of the hygrocin biosynthetic gene cluster (hgc) in Streptomyces sp. LZ35. A biosynthetic pathway is proposed based on bioinformatics analysis of the hgc genes and intermediates accumulated in selected gene disruption mutants. One of the steps during the biosynthesis of hygrocins is a Baeyer–Villiger oxidation between C5 and C6, catalyzed by luciferase‐like monooxygenase homologue Hgc3. Hgc3 represents the founding member of a previously uncharacterized family of enzymes acting as Baeyer–Villiger monooxygenases. 相似文献

Bacteria produce a remarkable diversity of bioactive molecules with antimicrobial properties. Despite the importance of such compounds for human medicine, little is known about the factors influencing antibiotic production in natural environments. Recently, several insects have been found to benefit from symbiont-produced antimicrobial compounds for defense against pathogenic microbes. In the European beewolf, Philanthus triangulum (Hymenoptera, Crabronidae), bacteria of the genus Streptomyces provide protection against pathogens by producing antimicrobials on the larval cocoon during hibernation, thereby significantly enhancing the survival probability of the beewolf larva. To investigate the effects of abiotic and biotic factors on antibiotic production, we exposed beewolf cocoons to different environmental conditions and quantified the amount of Streptomyces-produced antibiotics by using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The results revealed no significant influence of temperature, humidity, or pathogen load on the antibiotic amount, indicating that antibiotic production is not affected by current environmental conditions but rather may be optimized to serve as a reliable long-term protection during the unpredictable phase of beewolf hibernation. However, the amount of antibiotics was positively correlated with the symbiont population size on the cocoon, which in turn is affected by the number of Streptomyces cells provided by the mother into the brood cell. Additionally, we found a positive correlation between the amount of hydrocarbons and the number and length of bacterial cells in the antennal gland secretion, suggesting that maternal investment affects symbiont growth and, thus, antibiotic production on the larval cocoon. 相似文献

Aromatic Polyketide GTRI‐02 is a Previously Unidentified Product of the act Gene Cluster in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) 下载免费PDF全文

The biosynthesis of aromatic polyketides derived from type II polyketide synthases (PKSs) is complex, and it is not uncommon that highly similar gene clusters give rise to diverse structural architectures. The act biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) of the model actinomycete Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2) is an archetypal type II PKS. Here we show that the act BGC also specifies the aromatic polyketide GTRI‐02 ( 1 ) and propose a mechanism for the biogenesis of its 3,4‐dihydronaphthalen‐1(2H)‐one backbone. Polyketide 1 was also produced by Streptomyces sp. MBT76 after activation of the act‐like qin gene cluster by overexpression of the pathway‐specific activator. Mining of this strain also identified dehydroxy‐GTRI‐02 ( 2 ), which most likely originated from dehydration of 1 during the isolation process. This work shows that even extensively studied model gene clusters such as act of S. coelicolor can still produce new chemistry, offering new perspectives for drug discovery. 相似文献

Sch47554 and Sch47555 are antifungal compounds from Streptomyces sp. SCC‐2136. The availability of the biosynthetic gene cluster made it possible to track genes that encode biosynthetic enzymes responsible for the structural features of these two angucyclines. Sugar moieties play important roles in the biological activities of many natural products. An investigation into glycosyltransferases (GTs) might potentially help to diversify pharmaceutically significant drugs through combinatorial biosynthesis. Sequence analysis indicates that SchS7 is a putative C‐GT, whereas SchS9 and SchS10 are proposed to be O‐GTs. In this study, the roles of these three GTs in the biosynthesis of Sch47554 and Sch47555 are characterized. Coexpression of the aglycone and sugar biosynthetic genes with schS7 in Streptomyces lividans K4 resulted in the production of C‐glycosylated rabelomycin, which revealed that SchS7 attached a d ‐amicetose moiety to the aglycone core structure at the C‐9 position. Gene inactivation studies revealed that subsequent glycosylation steps took place in a sequential manner, in which SchS9 first attached either an l ‐aculose or l ‐amicetose moiety to 4′‐OH of the C‐glycosylated aglycone, then SchS10 transferred an l ‐aculose moiety to 3‐OH of the angucycline core. 相似文献

We investigated the growth-reducing effects of pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) from Senecio jacobaea on nine plant-associated fungi (five strains of Fusarium oxysporum, two of F. sambucinum, and two of Trichoderma sp). Fungal growth was monitored on water agar media containing different concentrations of monocrotaline, retrorsine, or a purified extract of PAs from S. jacobaea. The growth rate of six strains was inhibited by PAs at the highest test concentration (3.33 mM), with the magnitude of the inhibition (7–35%) being dependent upon the specific fungus-PA interaction. In general, the PA extract caused the largest inhibition. However, the fungi isolated from S. jacobaea were positively affected by the PA extract (7–9%). Retrorsine N oxide was as effective as retrorsine in its inhibition of mycelium growth. 相似文献

MS‐271, produced by Streptomyces sp. M‐271, is a lasso peptide natural product comprising 21 amino acid residues with a d ‐tryptophan at its C terminus. Because lasso peptides are ribosomal peptides, the biosynthesis of MS‐271, especially the mechanism of d ‐Trp introduction, is of great interest. The MS‐271 biosynthetic gene cluster was identified by draft genome sequencing of the MS‐271 producer, and it was revealed that the precursor peptide contains all 21 amino acid residues including the C‐terminal tryptophan. This suggested that the d ‐Trp residue is introduced by epimerization. Genes for modification enzymes such as a macrolactam synthetase (mslC), precursor peptide recognition element (mslB1), cysteine protease (mslB2), disulfide oxidoreductases (mslE, mslF), and a protein of unknown function (mslH) were found in the flanking region of the precursor peptide gene. Although obvious epimerase genes were absent in the cluster, heterologous expression of the putative MS‐271 cluster in Streptomyces lividans showed that it contains all the necessary genes for MS‐271 production including a gene for a new peptide epimerase. Furthermore, a gene‐deletion experiment indicated that MslB1, ‐B2, ‐C and ‐H were indispensable for MS‐271 production and that some interactions of the biosynthetic enzymes were essential for the biosynthesis of MS‐271. 相似文献

Identification and Characterization of the Carbapenem MM 4550 and its Gene Cluster in Streptomyces argenteolus ATCC 11009 下载免费PDF全文

Nearly 50 naturally occurring carbapenem β‐lactam antibiotics, most produced by Streptomyces, have been identified. The structural diversity of these compounds is limited to variance of the C‐2 and C‐6 side chains as well as the stereochemistry at C‐5/C‐6. These structural motifs are of interest both for their antibiotic effects and their biosynthesis. Although the thienamycin gene cluster is the only active gene cluster publically available in this group, more comparative information is needed to understand the genetic basis of these structural differences. We report here the identification of MM 4550, a member of the olivanic acids, as the major carbapenem produced by Streptomyces argenteolus ATCC 11009. Its gene cluster was also identified by degenerate PCR and targeted gene inactivation. Sequence analysis revealed that the genes encoding the biosynthesis of the bicyclic core and the C‐6 and C‐2 side chains are well conserved in the MM 4550 and thienamycin gene clusters. Three new genes, cmmSu, cmm17 and cmmPah were found in the new cluster, and their putative functions in the sulfonation and epimerization of MM 4550 are proposed. Gene inactivation showed that, in addition to cmmI, two new genes, cmm22 and ‐23, encode a two‐component response system thought to regulate the production of MM 4550. Overexpression of cmmI, cmm22 and cmm23 promoted MM 4550 production in an engineered strain. Finally, the involvement and putative roles of all genes in the MM 4550 cluster are proposed based on the results of bioinformatics analysis, gene inactivation, and analysis of disruption mutants. Overall, the differences between the thienamycin and MM 4550 gene clusters are reflected in characteristic structural elements and provide new insights into the biosynthesis of the complex carbapenems. 相似文献
