Abstract

Recent analysis of the genomic information from several Streptomyces strains has revealed an enormous abundance of gene clusters codifying enzymes from secondary metabolismo. The whole set of information infers that the capability to produce metabolites by Streptomyces and other actinobacteria is underestimated. As alternatives to tradicional screening methodologies, genomic tools represents a promising avenue to isolate new molecules, elucidate biosynthetic pathways and enzymes function and to elucidate biosynthesis intermediates. The endophytic strain Streptomyces sp isolated from Citrus ssp. was recently sequenced in our research group using Illumina MiSeq Technology. This strain was choosen after previous studies using metabolic probes to reveal biosynthetic gene clusters and biochemical assays. After sequencing, trimmering and assembly, the genes were annotated and in silico analysis allowed the assignment of the secondary metabolism gene clusters. This analysis also identified a cluster of genes involved in the biosynthesis of a supposed unknown metabolite by action of type 1 PKS, trans-AT PKS and NRPS enzymes. By the same analysis was also identified genes responsible for indigoidine and valinomycin biosynthesis, known compounds which genes clusters have already been described in the literature. In the present study we intend to use different methodologies to decipher the metabolite produced by the action of t1PKS-transAT PKS-NRPS and characterize indigoidine and valinomycin biosynthetic gene clusters, annotated from Streptomyces sp.: 1) PAC (P1-derived Artificial chromosome) library from Streptomyces sp.; 2) in vivo and in vitro recombineering/reconstruction, using cluster fragments and a plasmid containing homology regions; 3) clusters transfer to heterologous host (S. coelicolor and S. lividans) and heterologous production will be evaluated.
