The PurR family transcriptional regulator promotes butenyl-spinosyn production in Saccharopolyspora pogona.

ABSTRACT: Butenyl-spinosyn, derived from Saccharopolyspora pogona, is a broad-spectrum and effective bioinsecticide. However, the regulatory mechanism affecting butenyl-spinosyn synthesis has not been fully elucidated, which hindered the improvement of production. Here, a high-production strain S. pogona H2 was generated by Cobalt-60 γ-ray mutagenesis, which showed a 2.7-fold increase in production compared to the wild-type strain S. pogona ASAGF58. A comparative transcriptomic analysis between S. pogona ASAGF58 and H2 was performed to elucidate the high-production mechanism that more precursors and energy were used to synthesize of butenyl-spinosyn. Fortunately, a PurR family transcriptional regulator TF00350 was discovered. TF00350 overexpression strain RS00350 induced morphological differentiatio
