Project description:Purpose: Streptomyces albulus is an industrial producer of ε-poly-L-lysine, an antimicrobial cationic homo poly-amino acid used practically as a natural food preservative. Here, we present RNA sequencing data set unveiling differentially expressed transcripts during ε-poly-L-lysine production in the most extensively studied poly-L-Lys producer, S. albulus NBRC14147. Methods: During the poly-L-Lys fermentation, cells grown for 8 hours and 35 hours were harvested as growth phase cells and production phase cells, respectively, and total RNA were extracted individually. A 100-bp paired-end mRNA sequencing was performed for each sample on the Illumina HiSeq 2500 system. Result: Using an optimized data analysis workflow, we were able to map more than 44 million sequence reads per sample to the reference genome (GenBank accession number ASM385166v1). Differential gene expression analysis was performed using the edgeR. The RNA-seq data revealed that a total of 2449 genes were considered to be differentially expressed during poly-L-Lys production using a fold change cutoff of log2 less than -1 and greater than 1 (equivalent to a ±2-fold change). Conclusion: Our data will serve as a primary source for investigating the regulatory mechanism which govern poly-L-Lys production in S. albulus NBRC14147.

Project description:Genomic and metabolomic analyses of Streptomyces albulus with enhanced epsilon-poly-L-lysine production through adaptive laboratory evolution
Project description:Two component sensor-response regulator systems (TCSs) are very common in the genomes of the Streptomyces species that have been fully sequenced to date. It has been suggested that this large number is an evolutionary response to the variable environment that Streptomyces encounter in soil. Notwithstanding this, TCSs are also more common in the sequenced genomes of other Actinomycetales when these are compared to the genomes of most other eubacteria. In this study, we have used DNA/DNA genome microarray analysis to compare fourteen Streptomyces species and one closely related genus to Streptomyces coelicolor in order to identify a core group of such systems. This core group is compared to the syntenous and non-syntenous TCSs present in the genome sequences of other Actinomycetales in order to separate the systems into those present in Actinomycetales in general, the Streptomyces specific systems and the species specific systems. Horizontal transfer does not seem to play a very important role in the evolution of the TCS complement analyzed in this study. However, cognate pairs do not necessarily seem to evolve at the same pace, which may indicate the evolutionary responses to environmental variation may be reflected differently in sequence changes within the two components of the TCSs. The overall analysis allowed subclassification of the orphan TCSs and the TCS cognate pairs and identification of possible targets for further study using gene knockouts, gene overexpression, reporter genes and yeast two hybrid analysis.
