Characterization of a large, stable, high-copy-number Streptomyces plasmid that requires stability and transfer functions for heterologous polyketide overproduction

Article Abstract:

A mechanism by which SCP2 derived plasmid achieves increased levels of metabolite production was identified to examine the 45-bp deletion mutation in the plasmid replication origin increased plasmid copy number. It was found that 45-bp deletion abolished binding of a plasmid replication protein to the plasmid DNA, supporting an iteron model for plasmid replication.

Rapid engineering of the geldanamycin biosynthesis pathway by red/ET recombination and gene complementation

Article Abstract:

The use of Red/ET recombination to generate a large number of shuttle plasmids from a diverse library of chimeric domains for directed evolution of the pikromycin polyketide synthase (PKS) is reported. Red/ET recombination technology is adopted for generating new polyketide as it overcame some of the limitations of traditional approaches for PKS engineering.

Insights into the biosynthesis of the benzoquinone ansamycins geldanamycin and herbimycin obtained by gene sequencing and disruption

Article Abstract:

The cloning and characterization of a major portion of the herbimycin (hbm) biosynthetic gene cluster containing the polyketide synthase (PKS) genes and some other genes involved in post-PKS modifications are described. The results show a novel geldanamycin analog, KOS-1806 which was isolated and characterized.
