Lrp Family Regulator SCAB_Lrp2 Responds to the Precursor Tryptophan and Represses the Thaxtomin Biosynthesis in Streptomyces scabies.

ABSTRACT: Streptomyces scabies is a well-researched plant pathogen belonging to the genus Streptomyces. Its virulence is linked to the production of the secondary metabolite thaxtomin A, which is tightly regulated at the transcriptional level. The leucine-responsive regulatory protein (Lrp) family is conserved in prokaryotes and is involved in various crucial biological processes. However, the regulatory interaction between Lrp protein and pathogenic Streptomyces species remains poorly understood. This study aims to explore the role of SCAB_Lrp2 in regulating thaxtomin biosynthesis and pathogenicity, and to analyse the shared and unique features of Lrp homologues in S. scabies. We observed that SCAB_Lrp2 (SCAB_75421) showed significant homology with SCAB_Lrp, a recognised activator of thaxtomin A pr
