Abstract

ABSTRACTThe productions of antibiotics are usually regulated by cluster-situated regulators (CSRs), which can directly regulate the genes within the corresponding biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). However, few studies have looked into the regulation of CSRs on the targets outside the BGC. Here, we screened the targets of LmbU in the whole genome of S. lincolnensis, and found 14 candidate targets, among of which, 8 targets can bind to LmbU by EMSAs. Reporter assays in vivo revealed that LmbU repressed transcription of SLINC_RS02575 and SLINC_RS05540, while activated transcription of SLINC_RS42780. In addition, disruptions of SLINC_RS02575, SLINC_RS05540 and SLINC_RS42780 promoted the production of lincomycin, and qRT-PCR showed that SLINC_RS02575, SLINC_RS05540 and SLINC_RS42780 inhibited transcription of the lmb genes, indicating that all the three regulators can negatively regulate lincomycin biosynthesis. What’s more, the homologues of LmbU and its targets SLINC_RS02575, SLINC_RS05540 and SLINC_RS42780 are widely found in actinomycetes, while the distributions of DNA-binding sites (DBS) of LmbU are diverse, indicating the regulatory mechanisms of LmbU homologues in various strains are different and complicated.IMPORTANCELincomycin is widely used in clinic treatment and animal husbandry. Our previous study firstly demonstrated that LmbU, a novel transcriptional regulator family, functions as a CSR and positively regulates lincomycin biosynthesis. Here, we revealed that LmbU may act as a pleiotropic transcriptional regulator, and directly regulates SLINC_RS02575, SLINC_RS05540 and SLINC_RS42780 which are located outside the lmb cluster and negatively regulate lincomycin biosynthesis. Interestingly, the homologues of LmbU and its targets are widely found in actinomycetes, indicating the regulatory patterns of LmbU to the targets may exist in a variety of strains. Collectively, our findings elucidated the molecular mechanism with which LmbU regulates the target genes outside the lmb culster, and draw a network diagram of LmbU regulation on lincomycin biosynthesis. This lays a solid foundation for the realization of high-yield of lincomycin in industry, and provides the theoretical basis for the functional research of LmbU family proteins.
