Defense mechanisms of plants against phytopathogens include cationic antimicrobial peptides (CAPs). The broad-spectrum activity of these peptides has been evaluated previously against different phytopathogens. Their lack of toxicity for plants and animals is a promising feature for pest control. Although, some attempts have been made previously in order to increase their heterologous expressions, the employed strategies have so far proven to be ineffective. Low production yield and elevated costs are the obstacles to overcome. In this study, a strategy for CAP overexpression is presented based on the construction of an expression cassette for Streptomyces lividans TK24. This system contains elements that allow the increase of the efficiency of the peptide's expression. The main elements included in this cassette are the sequences of the promoter and signal peptide from a subtilisin inhibitor gene of Streptomyces venezuelae. This allows the efficient secretion of the peptide to the growth medium, thereby simplifying its recovery and avoiding its toxic effect on the producing organism. The results obtained demonstrate the system's efficiency by achieving a peptide concentration of 11.61 mg/ml. This represents at least a 10-fold increase compared to previously established strategies.
