A Novel AdpA Homologue Negatively Regulates Morphological Differentiation in Streptomyces xiamenensis 318.

ABSTRACT: The pleiotropic transcriptional regulator AdpA positively controls morphological differentiation and regulates secondary metabolism in most Streptomyces species. Streptomyces xiamenensis 318 has a linear chromosome 5.96 Mb in size. How AdpA affects secondary metabolism and morphological differentiation in such a naturally minimized genomic background is unknown. Here, we demonstrated that AdpA Sx , an AdpA orthologue in S. xiamenensis, negatively regulates cell growth and sporulation and bidirectionally regulates the biosynthesis of xiamenmycin and polycyclic tetramate macrolactams (PTMs) in S. xiamenensis 318. Overexpression of the adpASx gene in S. xiamenensis 318 had negative effects on morphological differentiation and resulted in reduced transcription of putative ssgA, ftsZ, ftsH, amf
