Lacticin 3147 is a broad-spectrum two-peptide lantibiotic whose genetic determinants are located on two divergent operons on the lactococcal plasmid pMRC01. Here we introduce each of 14 subclones, containing different combinations of lacticin 3147 genes, into MG1363 (pMRC01) and determine that a number of them can facilitate overproduction of the lantibiotic. Based on these studies it is apparent that while the provision of additional copies of genes encoding the biosynthetic/production machinery and the regulator LtnR is a requirement for high-level overproduction, the presence of additional copies of the structural genes (i.e., ltnA1A2) is not.
乳酸链球菌素3147是一种广谱双肽羊毛硫抗生素,其遗传决定簇位于乳球菌质粒pMRC01上的两个不同操纵子上。在此,我们将14个包含不同乳酸链球菌素3147基因组合的亚克隆分别导入MG1363(pMRC01)中,并确定其中一些亚克隆可促进羊毛硫抗生素的过量生产。基于这些研究,很明显,虽然提供编码生物合成/生产机制和调节因子LtnR的基因的额外拷贝是高水平过量生产的必要条件,但结构基因(即ltnA1A2)的额外拷贝的存在并非必要条件。
