Rerouting and Improving Dauc-8-en-11-ol Synthase from Streptomyces venezuelae to a High Yielding Biocatalyst.

ABSTRACT: The dauc-8-en-11-ol synthase from Streptomyces venezuelae was investigated for its catalytic activity towards alternative terpene precursors, specifically designed to enable new cyclisation pathways. Exchange of aromatic amino acid residues at the enzyme surface by site-directed mutagenesis led to a 4-fold increase of the yield in preparative scale incubations, which likely results from an increased enzyme stability instead of improved enzyme kinetics.

Project description:In Streptomyces, the Bld (Bald) regulators control formation of the reproductive aerial hyphae. The functions of some of these regulators have been well characterized, but BldB has remained enigmatic. In addition to the bldB gene itself, Streptomyces venezuelae has 10 paralogs of bldB that sit next to paralogs of whiJ and abaA. Transcriptome sequencing (RNA-seq) revealed that loss of BldB function causes the dramatic transcriptional upregulation of the abaA paralogs and a novel inhibitor of sporulation, iosA, and that cooverexpression of just two of these genes, iosA and abaA6, was sufficient to recapitulate the bldB mutant phenotype. Further RNA-seq analysis showed that the transcription factor WhiJ9 is required for the activation of iosA seen in the bldB mutant, and biochemical studies showed that WhiJ9 mediates the activation of iosA expression by binding to direct repeats in the iosA-whiJ9 intergenic region. BldB and BldB9 hetero-oligomerize, providing a potential link between BldB and the iosA-whiJ9-bldB9 locus. This work greatly expands our overall understanding of the global effects of the BldB developmental regulator. IMPORTANCE To reproduce and disperse, the filamentous bacterium Streptomyces develops specialized reproductive structures called aerial hyphae. The formation of these structures is controlled by the bld (bald) genes, many of which encode transcription factors whose functions have been characterized. An exception is BldB, a protein whose biochemical function is unknown. In this study, we gain insight into the global effects of BldB function by examining the genome-wide transcriptional effects of deleting bldB. We identify a small set of genes that are dramatically upregulated in the absence of BldB. We show that their overexpression causes the bldB phenotype and characterize a transcription factor that mediates the upregulation of one of these target genes. Our results provide new insight into how BldB influences Streptomyces development.
