Cloning and characterization of a gene cluster for geldanamycin production inStreptomyces hygroscopicusNRRL 3602

Abstract: We illustrate the use of a PCR-based method by which the genomic DNA of a microorganism can be rapidly queried for the presence of type I modular polyketide synthase genes to clone and characterize, by sequence analysis and gene disruption, a major portion of the geldanamycin production gene cluster from Streptomyces hygroscopicus var. geldanus NRRL 3602.

“…53 Two AHBA biosynthesis clusters, one (AHBA-N) associated with putative naphthomycin biosynthesis and the other (AHBA-B) functionally, although not physically, associated with geldanamycin (gdn) biosynthesis genes, were isolated from S. hygroscopicus. [54][55][56] Curiously, the AHBA-B subcluster contains two copies of an aminoDHQ synthase gene (rifG homolog), but lacks an amino-DAHP synthase gene (rifH). 53 A rifH homolog is also missing from the AHBA synthesis genes of the mitomycin cluster.…”

“…17 This superfamily represents a large group of proteins containing a similar fold but diverse functions, making putative functional analysis by homology ambiguous. The BLASTP search identified a series of similar proteins coded for in other secondary metabolite biosynthetic pathways including azicemicin, 21 geldanamycin, 22 herbimycin, 23 kinamycin, 24 and methylenomycin ( Figure S1). 25,26 A full sequence alignment of these JadX homologues is presented in the Figure S2.…”

“…Biosynthesis of this class of compounds involves the assembly of 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid as a starter unit. Following elongation with the acyl-Coenzyme A substrates malonyl-CoA, methylmalonyl-CoA, and 2-methoxymalonyl-CoA (ACP) [12ϳ14], the presumed polyketide intermediate undergoes intramolecular lactamization by GdmF to form progeldanamycin [15], an initial polyketide synthase (PKS) product, which is, then converted to GDM by several post-PKS modification steps, such as C-17 hydroxylation, C-17 O-methylation, C-21 oxidation, C-7 carbamoylation, and C-4, 5 oxidation [15ϳ17].…”
