Project description:The RNA sequencing approach was utilized to carry out a comparative transcriptome analysis between Streptomyces hygroscopicus 5008 wild-type and a genetically engineered strain. The A-factor-like cascade play an important role in the regulation of validamycin biosynthesis by Streptomyces hygroscopicus 5008, and the pleiotropic regulator AdpA-H may positively regulate the transcription of gene cluster for the biosynthesis. shbR1 and shbR3 as the A-factor receptor homolog genes, could repress the transcription of AdpA-H. By tandem deletions of these genes, the production and productivity of validamcyin was significantly enhanced. To explore the effects of the shbR1/R3 double deletion of the overall cellular metabolism, the RNA sequencing approach was utilized to carry out a comparative transcriptome analysis between wild-type and shbR1/shbR3 double mutant (genetically engineered strain).

Project description:For systematically improving geldanamycin yield, we investigated the gene expression profile on the fourth day during geldanamycin fermentation (geldanamycin began to largely accumulated on this day). According to the RNA-seq data, we deduced that the PKS genes gdmAI-AIII are rate-limiting genes for geldanamycin biosynthesis. We also found a strong endogeneous promoter according to the RNA-seq data and the reporter gene. Replacing the native PKS promoter with this strong promoter brought an obvious increase in geldanamycin yield.
