Mechanistic insight for improving butenyl-spinosyn production through combined ARTP/UV mutagenesis and ribosome engineering in Saccharopolyspora pogona. Front Bioeng Biotechnol 2024; 11:1329859.

Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn is a highly effective, wide-spectrum and environmentally-friendly biological insecticide produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona. However, its scale-up is impeded due to its lower titer in wild-type strains. In this work, ARTP/UV mutagenesis and ribosome engineering were employed to enhance the butenyl-spinosyn production, and a stable mutant Saccharopolyspora pogona aG6 with high butenyl-spinosyn yield was successfully obtained. For the first time, the fermentation results in the 5 L bioreactor demonstrated that the butenyl-spinosyn produced by mutant Saccharopolyspora pogona aG6 reached the maximum value of 130 mg/L, almost 4-fold increase over the wild-type strain WT. Furthermore, comparative genomic, transcriptome and target metabolomic analysis revealed that the accumulation of butenyl-spinosyn was promoted by alterations in ribosomal proteins, branched-chain amino acid degradation and oxidative phosphorylation. Conclusively, the proposed model of ribosome engineering combined with ARTP/UV showed the improved biosynthesis regulation of butenyl-spinosyn in S. pogona.

Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn, a highly effective biological insecticide, is produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona. However, its application has been severely hampered by its low yield. Recent studies have shown that PhoU plays a pivotal role in regulating cell growth, secondary metabolite biosynthesis and intracellular phosphate levels. Nevertheless, the function of PhoU remains ambiguous in S. pogona. In this study, we investigated the effects of PhoU on the growth and the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis of S. pogona by constructing the mutants. Overexpression of phoU increased the production of butenyl-spinosyn to 2.2-fold that of the wild-type strain. However, the phoU deletion resulted in a severe imbalance of intracellular phosphate levels, and suppression of the growth and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. Quantitative Real-time PCR (qRT-PCR) analysis, distinctive protein detection and mass spectrometry revealed that PhoU widely regulated primary metabolism, energy metabolism and DNA repair, which implied that PhoU influences the growth and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis of S. pogona as a global regulator.

Abstract
Background Butenyl-spinosyn produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona exhibits strong insecticidal activity and a broad pesticidal spectrum. Currently, important functional genes involve in butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis remain unknown, which leads to difficulty in efficiently understanding its regulatory mechanism, and improving its production by metabolic engineering. Results Here, we identified a TetR family transcriptional regulator, SP_2854, that can positively regulate butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and affect strain growth, glucose consumption, and mycelial morphology in S. pogona. Using targeted metabolomic analyses, we found that SP_2854 overexpression enhanced glucose metabolism, while SP_2854 deletion had the opposite effect. To decipher the overproduction mechanism in detail, comparative proteomic analysis was carried out in the SP-2854 overexpressing mutant and the original strain, and we found that SP_2854 overexpression promoted the expression of proteins involved in glucose metabolism. Conclusion Our findings suggest that SP_2854 can affect strain growth and development and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis in S. pogona by controlling glucose metabolism. The strategy reported here will be valuable in paving the way for genetic engineering of regulatory elements in actinomycetes to improve important natural products production.

Effect of pII key nitrogen regulatory gene on strain growth and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis in Saccharopolyspora pogona. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2022; 106:3081-3091. [PMID: 35376972 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-022-11902-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/21/2021] [Revised: 03/24/2022] [Accepted: 03/26/2022] [Indexed: 11/02/2022]
Abstract
PII signal transduction proteins are widely found in bacteria and plant chloroplast, and play a central role in nitrogen metabolism regulation, which interact with many key proteins in metabolic pathways to regulate carbon/nitrogen balance by sensing changes in concentrations of cell-mediated indicators such as α-ketoglutarate. In this study, the knockout strain Saccharopolyspora pogona-ΔpII and overexpression strain S. pogona-pII were constructed using CRISPR/Cas9 technology and the shuttle vector POJ260, respectively, to investigate the effects on the growth and secondary metabolite biosynthesis of S. pogona. Growth curve, electron microscopy, and spore germination experiments were performed, and it was found that the deletion of the pII gene inhibited the growth to a certain extent in the mutant. HPLC analysis showed that the yield of butenyl-spinosyn in the S. pogona-pII strain increased to 245% than that in the wild-type strain while that in S. pogona-ΔpII decreased by approximately 51%. This result showed that the pII gene can promote the growth and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis of S. pogona. This research first investigated PII nitrogen metabolism regulators in S. pogona, providing significant scientific evidence and a research basis for elucidating the mechanism by which these factors regulate the growth of S. pogona, optimizing the synthesis network of butenyl-spinosyn and constructing a strain with a high butenyl-spinosyn yield. KEY POINTS: • pII key nitrogen regulatory gene deletion can inhibit the growth and development of S. pogona. • Overexpressed pII gene can significantly promote the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. • pII gene can affect the amino acid circulation and the accumulation of butenyl-spinosyn precursors in S. pogona.

Abstract
Understanding the metabolism of Saccharopolyspora pogona on a global scale is essential for manipulating its metabolic capabilities to improve butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. Here, we combined multiomics analysis to parse S. pogona genomic information, construct a metabolic network, and mine important functional genes that affect the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. This research not only elucidated the relationship between butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and the primary metabolic pathway but also showed that the low expression level and continuous downregulation of the bus cluster and the competitive utilization of acetyl-CoA were the main reasons for reduced butenyl-spinosyn production. Our framework identified 148 genes related to butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis that were significantly differentially expressed, confirming that butenyl-spinosyn polyketide synthase (PKS) and succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (GabD) play an important role in regulating butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. Combined modification of these genes increased overall butenyl-spinosyn production by 6.38-fold to 154.1 ± 10.98 mg/L. Our results provide an important strategy for further promoting the butenyl-spinosyn titer.

Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn, a promising biopesticide produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona, exhibits stronger insecticidal activity and a broader pesticidal spectrum. However, its titre in the wild-type S. pogona strain is too low to meet the industrial production requirements. Deletion of non-target natural product biosynthetic gene clusters resident in the genome of S. pogona could reduce the consumption of synthetic precursors, thereby promoting the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn. However, it has always been a challenge for scientists to genetically engineer S. pogona. In this study, the Latour gene knockout system (linear DNA fragment recombineering system) was established in S. pogona. Using the Latour system, a hybrid NRPS-T1PKS cluster (˜20 kb) which was responsible for phthoxazolin biosynthesis was efficiently deleted in S. pogona. The resultant mutant S. pogona-Δura4-Δc14 exhibited an extended logarithmic phase, increased biomass and a lower glucose consumption rate. Importantly, the production of butenyl-spinosyn in S. pogona-Δura4-Δc14 was increased by 4.72-fold compared with that in the wild-type strain. qRT-PCR analysis revealed that phthoxazolin biosynthetic gene cluster deletion could promote the expression of the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthetic gene cluster. Furthermore, a TetR family transcriptional regulatory gene that could regulate the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis has been identified from the phthoxazolin biosynthetic gene cluster. Because dozens of natural product biosynthetic gene clusters exist in the genome of S. pogona, the strategy reported here will be used to further promote the production of butenyl-spinosyn by deleting other secondary metabolite synthetic gene clusters.

Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn is a highly effective and broad-spectrum biopesticide produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona. However, the yield of this compound is difficult to increase because the regulatory mechanism of secondary metabolism is still unknown. Here, the transcriptional regulator Sp13016 was discovered to be highly associated with butenyl-spinosyn synthesis and bacterial growth. Overexpression of sp13016 improved butenyl-spinosyn production to a level that was 2.84-fold that of the original strain, while deletion of sp13016 resulted in a significant decrease in yield and growth inhibition. Comparative proteomics revealed that these phenotypic changes were attributed to the influence of Sp13016 on the central carbon metabolism pathway to regulate the supply of precursors. Our research helps to reveal the regulatory mechanism of butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and provides a reference for increasing the yield of natural products of Actinomycetes.

Abstract
Reduction and optimization of the microbial genome is an important strategy for constructing synthetic biological chassis cells and overcoming obstacles in natural product discovery and production. However, it is of great challenge to discover target genes that can be deleted and optimized due to the complicated genome of actinomycetes. Saccharopolyspora pogona can produce butenyl-spinosyn during aerobic fermentation, and its genome contains 32 different gene clusters. This suggests that there is a large amount of potential competitive metabolism in S. pogona, which affects the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn. By analyzing the genome of S. pogona, six polyketide gene clusters were identified. From those, the complete deletion of clu13, a flaviolin-like gene cluster, generated a high butenyl-spinosyn-producing strain. Production of this strain was 4.06-fold higher than that of the wildtype strain. Transcriptome profiling revealed that butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis was not primarily induced by the polyketide synthase RppA-like but was related to hypothetical protein Sp1764. However, the repression of sp1764 was not enough to explain the enormous enhancement of butenyl-spinosyn yields in S. pogona-Δclu13. After the comparative proteomic analysis of S. pogona-Δclu13 and S. pogona, two proteins, biotin carboxyl carrier protein (BccA) and response regulator (Reg), were investigated, whose overexpression led to great advantages of butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. In this way, we successfully discovered three key genes that obviously optimize the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn. Gene cluster simplification performed in conjunction with multiomics analysis is of great practical significance for screening dominant chassis strains and optimizing secondary metabolism. This work provided an idea about screening key factors and efficient construction of production strains.

Abstract
Background Butenyl-spinosyn, produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona, is a promising biopesticide due to excellent insecticidal activity and broad pesticidal spectrum. Bacterioferritin (Bfr, encoded by bfr) regulates the storage and utilization of iron, which is essential for the growth and metabolism of microorganisms. However, the effect of Bfr on the growth and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis in S. pogona has not been explored. Results Here, we found that the storage of intracellular iron influenced butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and the stress resistance of S. pogona, which was regulated by Bfr. The overexpression of bfr increased the production of butenyl-spinosyn by 3.14-fold and enhanced the tolerance of S. pogona to iron toxicity and oxidative damage, while the knockout of bfr had the opposite effects. Based on the quantitative proteomics analysis and experimental verification, the inner mechanism of these phenomena was explored. Overexpression of bfr enhanced the iron storage capacity of the strain, which activated polyketide synthase genes and enhanced the supply of acyl-CoA precursors to improve butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. In addition, it induced the oxidative stress response to improve the stress resistance of S. pogona. Conclusion Our work reveals the role of Bfr in increasing the yield of butenyl-spinosyn and enhancing the stress resistance of S. pogona, and provides insights into its enhancement on secondary metabolism, which provides a reference for optimizing the production of secondary metabolites in actinomycetes.

Identification of a TetR family regulator and a polyketide synthase gene cluster involved in growth development and butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis of Saccharopolyspora pogona. Appl Microbiol Biotechnol 2021; 105:1519-1533. [PMID: 33484320 DOI: 10.1007/s00253-021-11105-4] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/03/2020] [Revised: 12/04/2020] [Accepted: 01/05/2021] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona exhibits strong insecticidal activity and broad pesticidal spectrum. However, its synthetic level was low in the wild-type strain. At present, important functional genes involved in butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis remain unknown, which leads to difficulty in efficiently editing its genome to improve the butenyl-spinosyn yield. To accelerate the genetic modification of S. pogona, we conducted comparative proteomics analysis to screen differentially expressed proteins related to butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. A TetR family regulatory protein was selected from the 289 differentially expressed proteins, and its encoding gene (SP_1288) was successfully deleted by CRISPR/Cas9 system. We further deleted a 32-kb polyketide synthase gene cluster (cluster 28) to reduce the competition for precursors. Phenotypic analysis revealed that the deletion of the SP_1288 and cluster 28 resulted in a 3.10-fold increase and a 35.4% decrease in the butenyl-spinosyn levels compared with the wild-type strain, respectively. The deletion of cluster 28 affected the cell growth, glucose consumption, mycelium morphology, and sporulation by controlling the expression of ptsH, ptsI, amfC, and other genes related to sporulation, whereas SP_1288 did not. These findings confirmed not only that the CRISPR/Cas9 system can be applied to the S. pogona genome editing but also that SP_1288 and cluster 28 are closely related to the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis and growth development of S. pogona. The strategy reported here will be useful to reveal the regulatory mechanism of butenyl-spinosyn and improve antibiotic production in other actinomycetes. KEY POINTS: • SP_1288 deletion can significantly promote the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. • Cluster 28 deletion showed pleiotropic effects on S. pogona. • SP_1288 and cluster 28 were deleted by CRISPR/Cas9 system in S. pogona.

Abstract
Spinosyns, the secondary metabolites produced by Saccharopolyspora spinosa, are the active ingredients in a family of novel biological insecticides. Although the complete genome sequence of S. spinosa has been published, the transcriptome of S. spinosa remains poorly characterized. In this study, high-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology was applied to dissect the transcriptome of S. spinosa. Through transcriptomic analysis of different periods of S. spinosa growth, we found large numbers of differentially expressed genes and classified them according to their different functions. Based on the RNA-seq data, the CRISPR-Cas9 method was used to knock out the PEP phosphonomutase gene (orf 06952-4171). The yield of spinosyns A and D in S. spinosa-ΔPEP was 178.91 mg/L and 42.72 mg/L, which was 2.14-fold and 1.76-fold higher than that in the wild type (83.51 and 24.34 mg/L), respectively. The analysis of the mutant strains also verified the validity of the transcriptome data. The deletion of the PEP phosphonomutase gene leads to an increase in pyruvate content and affects the biosynthesis of spinosad. The replenishment of phosphoenol pyruvate in S. spinosa provides the substrate for the production of spinosad. We envision that these transcriptomic analysis results will contribute to the further study of secondary metabolites in actinomycetes.

Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona exhibits strong insecticidal activity and a broad pesticidal spectrum. Currently, important functional genes involved in butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis remain unknown, which leads to difficulty in efficient understanding of its regulatory mechanism and improving its production by metabolic engineering. Here, we present data supporting a role of the SenX3-RegX3 system in regulating the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. EMSAs and qRT-PCR demonstrated that RegX3 positively controls butenyl-spinosyn production in an indirect way. Integrated proteomic and metabolomic analysis, regX3 deletion not only strengthens the basal metabolic ability of S. pogona in the mid-growth phase but also promotes the flow of the acetyl-CoA produced via key metabolic pathways into the TCA cycle rather than the butenyl-spinosyn biosynthetic pathway, which ultimately leads to continued growth but reduced butenyl-spinosyn production. The strategy demonstrated here may be valuable for revealing the regulatory role of the SenX3-RegX3 system in the biosynthesis of other natural products. Butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis is highly sensitive to Pi control RegX3 regulates polyP accumulation in S. pogona RegX3 may indirectly regulate butenyl-spinosyn production RegX3 plays an important role in the normal growth development of S. pogona

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to analyze the complete genome sequence of the butenyl-spinosyn-producing strain Saccharopolyspora sp. ASAGF58, isolated from Zhejiang province.
Methods
PacBio RS II sequencing platform with single-molecule real-time technology was used to obtain the complete genome sequence of Saccharopolyspora sp. ASAGF58. Gene prediction and annotation analysis were carried out through several software and databases. The antiSMASH online server was used to evaluate the secondary metabolite potential of strain ASAGF58.
Results
The whole genome of Saccharopolyspora sp. ASAGF58 is 8,190,340 bp divided into one chromosome of 8,044,361 bp with a GC content of 68.1% and a plasmid of 145,979 bp with a GC content of 64.6%. A total of 7486 coding sequences, 15 rRNA genes, 61 tRNA genes, 41 miscRNA genes, and 1 tmRNA gene were predicted. The domains encoded by one of the type I polyketide synthase (T1PKS) gene clusters have 91% similarity with those encoded by a spinosad biosynthetic gene cluster from Saccharopolyspora spinosa. In addition, antiSMASH results predicted that the strain also contains the biosynthetic gene clusters for the synthesis of ectoine, geosmin, and erythreapeptin.
Conclusions
Our data revealed the complete genome sequence of a new isolated butenyl-spinosyn-producing strain. This work will provide some methods, from genetics to biotechnology and biochemistry, aimed at the production improvement of butenyl-spinosyns.

Abstract
Butenyl-spinosyn, a secondary metabolite produced by Saccharopolyspora pogona, exhibits strong insecticidal activity than spinosyn. However, the low synthesis capacity and unknown metabolic characteristics of butenyl-spinosyn in wild-type S. pogona limit its broad application and metabolic engineering. Here, we showed that S. pogona exhibited increased glucose consumption ability and growth rate compared with S. spinosa, but the production of butenyl-spinosyn was much lower than that of spinosyn. To further elucidate the metabolic mechanism of these different phenotypes, we performed a comparative proteomic and metabolomic study on S. pogona and S. spinosa to identify the change in the abundance levels of proteins and metabolites. We found that the abundance of most proteins and metabolites associated with glucose transport, fatty acid metabolism, tricarboxylic acid cycle, amino acid metabolism, energy metabolism, purine and pyrimidine metabolism, and target product biosynthesis in S. pogona was higher than that in S. spinosa. However, the overall abundance of proteins involved in butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis was much lower than that of the high-abundance protein chaperonin GroEL, such as the enzymes related to rhamnose synthesis. We speculated that these protein and metabolite abundance changes may be directly responsible for the above phenotypic changes in S. pogona and S. spinosa, especially affecting butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. Further studies revealed that the over-expression of the rhamnose synthetic genes and methionine adenosyltransferase gene could effectively improve the production of butenyl-spinosyn by 2.69- and 3.03-fold, respectively, confirming the reliability of this conjecture. This work presents the first comparative proteomics and metabolomics study of S. pogona and S. spinosa, providing new insights into the novel links of phenotypic change and metabolic difference between two strains. The result will be valuable in designing strategies to promote the biosynthesis of butenyl-spinosyn by metabolic engineering.

Abstract
Background Saccharopolyspora pogona is a prominent industrial strain due to its production of butenyl-spinosyn, a high-quality insecticide against a broad spectrum of insect pests. TetR family proteins are diverse in a tremendous number of microorganisms and some are been researched to have a key role in metabolic regulation. However, specific functions of TetR family proteins in S. pogona are yet to characterize. Results In the present study, the overexpression of the tetR-like gene sp1418 in S. pogona resulted in marked effects on vegetative growth, sporulation, butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis, and oxidative stress. By using qRT-PCR analysis, mass spectrometry, enzyme activity detection, and sp1418 knockout verification, we showed that most of these effects could be attributed to the overexpression of Sp1418, which modulated enzymes related to the primary metabolism, oxidative stress and secondary metabolism, and thereby resulted in distinct growth characteristics and an unbalanced supply of precursor monomers for butenyl-spinosyn biosynthesis. Conclusion This study revealed the function of Sp1418 and enhanced the understanding of the metabolic network in S. pogona, and provided insights into the improvement of secondary metabolite production.
