杀念菌素/FR-008生物合成途径中转运基因fscTⅠ与fscTⅡ的功能

摘要

[目的]分析杀念菌素/FR-008生物合成途径中转运基因fscTⅠ和ficTⅡ的功能.[方法]构建转运基因fscTⅠ和fscTⅡ的敲除质粒pJTU4137,并通过接合转移和同源重组双交换的方法得到转运基因缺失突变株.转运基因fscTⅠ和ficTⅡ也被克隆到高拷贝质粒pJTU 1278上用于在链霉菌FR-008(Streptomyces sp.FR-008)的衍生菌株ZYJ-6中进行转运蛋白的过量表达.[结果]获得了转运蛋白缺失的双交换突变株LX10,发酵结果显示该突变株不再产生杀念菌素及其衍生物 ;过量表达转运蛋白的基因工程菌株LX11,其杀念菌素的产量约是对照菌株的1.5倍.[结论]体内遗传实验进一步证实FR-008生物合成途径中的fscTⅠ和fscTⅡ是ATP依赖的ABC转运基因,fscTⅠ与fscTⅡ的过量表达增加了杀念菌素的产量,为利用此方法提高其它多烯类抗生素的产量提供了例证.%To investigate function of transporter genes fscTI and fscTII in the biosynthetic gene cluster of candicidin/FR-008. [Methods] We constructed a plasmid pJTU4137 for disruption of transporter genes fscTI and fscTII by conjugation and homologous recombinant. The transporter genes were also PCR amplified and cloned into the high-copy plasmid pJTU1278 for overexpression in strain ZYJ-6 derived from Streptomyces sp. FR-008. [Results] The disruption mutant LX10 was unable to produce candicidin and its analogues. Overexpression of FscTI and FscTII in ZYJ-6 caused a 1. 5-fold increase in FR-008-III production compared with the control. [Conclusion] We confirmed thatyjc77 and fscTII are function as ATP dependent ATP binding cassetle (ABC) transporters in the biosynthetic gene cluster of FR-008. Furthermore, a positive example was provided for improving antibiotic production in other polyene producing strains based on the results that overexpression of fscTI and fscTI increased candicidin production.
