A 92 kb silent hybrid polyketide and nonribosomal peptide gene cluster in marine-derived Streptomyces pactum SCSIO 02999 was activated by genetically manipulating the regulatory genes, including the knockout of two negative regulators (totR5 and totR3) and overexpression of a positive regulator totR1, to direct the production of the known totopotensamides (TPMs) A (1) and B (3) and a novel sulfonate-containing analogue TPM C (2). Inactivation of totG led to accumulation of TPM B (3) lacking the glycosyl moiety, which indicated TotG as a dedicated glycosyltransferase in the biosynthesis of 1 and 2.
海洋来源的链霉菌 SCSIO 02999 中的一个 92kb 沉默的杂合聚酮和非核糖体肽基因簇,通过遗传操作调节基因(包括敲除两个负调控基因 totR5 和 totR3 以及过表达一个正调控基因 totR1)被激活,以指导已知的托普托彭酰胺(TPMs)A(1)和 B(3)和一个新的含磺酸基的类似物 TPM C(2)的产生。TotG 的失活导致缺乏糖基部分的 TPM B(3)的积累,这表明 TotG 是 1 和 2 生物合成中的一种专用糖基转移酶。
