Area of Science:

  • Microbiology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Streptomyces clavuligerus is a key antibiotic producer.
  • Many antibiotic biosynthesis gene clusters remain silent and uncharacterized.
  • Efficient methods are needed to identify activators of these silent clusters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and apply a high-throughput screening method for identifying activators of silent antibiotic biosynthesis gene clusters.
  • To identify specific cosmid clones that activate the actinorhodin biosynthesis gene cluster in Streptomyces lividans.

Main Methods:

  • Construction of a genomic cosmid library from Streptomyces clavuligerus.
  • Efficient transfer of cosmid clones to Streptomyces lividans via conjugation.
  • Screening of cosmid clones for activation of the silent actinorhodin biosynthesis gene cluster.

Main Results:

  • Successfully constructed and transferred a Streptomyces clavuligerus genomic cosmid library to Streptomyces lividans.
  • Identified 12 distinct groups of overlapping cosmid clones.
  • These clones activated the silent actinorhodin biosynthesis gene cluster, indicating the presence of functional activators.

Conclusions:

  • The developed high-throughput screening procedure is effective for identifying antibiotic biosynthesis activators.
  • This method facilitates the discovery of novel compounds from silent gene clusters.
  • The identified cosmid clones provide insights into the regulation of actinorhodin biosynthesis.
