Abstract
Streptomyces produces many valuable and important biomolecules with clinical and pharmaceutical applications. The development of simple and highly efficient gene editing tools for genetic modification of Streptomyces is highly desirable. In this study, we developed a screening system for targeted gene knockout using a uracil auxotrophic host (ΔpyrF) resistant to the highly toxic uracil analog of 5-fluoroorotic acid (5-FOA) converted by PyrF, and a non-replicative vector pKC1132-pyrF carrying the complemented pyrF gene coding for orotidine-5'-phosphate decarboxylase. The pyrF gene acts as a positive selection and counterselection marker for recombinants during genetic modifications. Single-crossover homologous integration mutants were selected on minimal medium without uracil by reintroducing pyrF along with pKC1132-pyrF into the genome of the mutant ΔpyrF at the targeted locus. Double-crossover recombinants were generated, from which the pyrF gene, plasmid backbone, and targeted gene were excised through homologous recombination exchange. These recombinants were rapidly screened by the counterselection agent, 5-FOA. We demonstrated the feasibility and advantage of using this pyrF-based screening system through deleting the otcR gene, which encodes the cluster-situated regulator that directly activates oxytetracycline biosynthesis in Streptomyces rimosus M4018. This system provides a new genetic tool for investigating the genetic characteristics of Streptomyces species.

Abstract
Demecycline (DMTC) and demeclocycline (DMCTC) are C6-demethylated derivatives of tetracycline (TC) and chlortetracycline (CTC), respectively. They are precursors of minocycline and tigecycline, which showed remarkable bioactivity against TC-resistant bacteria and have been used clinically for decades. In order to biosynthesize drug precursors DMTC and DMCTC, the function of a possible C-methyltransferase encoding gene ctcK was studied systematically in the CTC high-yielding industrial strain Streptomyces aureofaciens F3. The ΔctcK mutant accumulated two new products, which were turned out to be DMTC and DMCTC. Meanwhile, time-course analysis of the fermentation products detected the epimers of DMTC and DMCTC transformed spontaneously. Finally, an engineering strain with higher productivity of DMCTC was constructed by deleting ctcK and overexpressing ctcP of three extra copies simultaneously. Construction of these two engineering strains not only served as a successful example of synthesizing required products through metabolic engineering, but also provided original strains for following elaborate engineering to synthesize more effective tetracycline derivatives.

Abstract
Regulation of secondary metabolism involves complex interactions of both pathway-specific regulators and global regulators, which may trigger or repress the expression of genes involved in antibiotic biosynthesis. Similarly, many of these global regulatory proteins belong to two-component systems. In this study, a new two-component system (TCS) AfrQ1Q2 homologous to AfsQ1Q2 of Streptomyces coelicolor was acquired from the genome sequence of Streptomyces rimosus M4018 by using bioinformatics analysis. RT-PCR results showed co-transcription of afrQ1 (RR) and afrQ2 (HK) in S. rimosus. Consequently, the significant enhancement in oxytetracycline (OTC) yield in afrQ1-disrupted mutant was observed when cultivated in the defined minimal medium (MM) with glycine as the sole nitrogen source. In order to further investigate the regulation mechanism of AfrQ1Q2 in OTC production, the transcriptional levels of five biosynthesis and regulation related genes such as oxyB, otrB, otcG, otcR and otrC were tested by qRT-PCR, which indicated a significantly up-regulatory trend in the afrQ1-disrupted mutant. Meanwhile, a down-regulatory trend of each gene was tested in the complementary mutant as compared to wild type M4018. Moreover, these selected five genes were positively correlated with OTC production. Conclusively, these findings suggested that the TCS AfrQ1Q2 could be one of the global regulators, which negatively regulates OTC production via activating pathway specific regulators in S. rimosus M4018.

Abstract
Previous studies identified a MarR (multiple antibiotic resistance regulator) family transcription factor OtrR in the oxytetracycline biosynthetic gene cluster, which regulated the expression of an efflux pump OtrB. The genes otrB and otrR were divergent arranged and the inter-ORF (open reading frame) region between the two genes contained the promoter otrBp. In this study, we demonstrated that the reverse complementary sequence of otrBp contained the promoter of otrR, and its activity was also repressed by OtrR by sharing the same operator otrO within otrBp, and allosteric regulated by oxytetracycline. Our findings offered a solid base for the synthetic biological application of the bi-direction promoter in controlling two elements at the same time using only one signal molecule.

Abstract
Heterologous expression is an important strategy to activate biosynthetic gene clusters of secondary metabolites. Here, it is employed to activate and manipulate the oxytetracycline (OTC) gene cluster and to alter OTC fermentation process. To achieve these goals, a fast-growing heterologous host Streptomyces venezuelae WVR2006 was rationally selected among several potential hosts. It shows rapid and dispersed growth and intrinsic high resistance to OTC. By manipulating the expression of two cluster-situated regulators (CSR) OtcR and OtrR and precursor supply, the OTC production level was significantly increased in this heterologous host from 75 to 431 mg/l only in 48 h, a level comparable to the native producer Streptomyces rimosus M4018 in 8 days. This work shows that S. venezuelae WVR2006 is a promising chassis for the production of secondary metabolites, and the engineered heterologous OTC producer has the potential to completely alter the fermentation process of OTC production.

Abstract
Covering up to end 2015Microbial fermentation provides an attractive alternative to chemical synthesis for the production of structurally complex natural products. In most cases, however, production titers are low and need to be improved for compound characterization and/or commercial production. Owing to advances in functional genomics and genetic engineering technologies, microbial hosts can be engineered to overproduce a desired natural product, greatly accelerating the traditionally time-consuming strain improvement process. This review covers recent developments and challenges in the engineering of native and heterologous microbial hosts for the production of bacterial natural products, focusing on the genetic tools and strategies for strain improvement. Special emphasis is placed on bioactive secondary metabolites from actinomycetes. The considerations for the choice of host systems will also be discussed in this review.

Abstract
Background Oxytetracycline (OTC) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic commercially produced by Streptomyces rimosus. Despite its importance, little is known about the regulation of OTC biosynthesis, which hampered any effort to improve OTC production via engineering regulatory genes. Results A gene encoding a Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory protein (SARP) was discovered immediately adjacent to the otrB gene of oxy cluster in S. rimosus and designated otcR. Deletion and complementation of otcR abolished or restored OTC production, respectively, indicating that otcR encodes an essential activator of OTC biosynthesis. Then, the predicted consensus SARP-binding sequences were extracted from the promoter regions of oxy cluster. Transcriptional analysis in a heterologous GFP reporter system demonstrated that OtcR directly activated the transcription of five oxy promoters in E. coli, further mutational analysis of a SARP-binding sequence of oxyI promoter proved that OtcR directly interacted with the consensus repeats. Therefore, otcR was chosen as an engineering target, OTC production was significantly increased by overexpression of otcR as tandem copies each under the control of strong SF14 promoter. Conclusions A SARP activator, OtcR, was identified in oxy cluster of S. rimosus; it was shown to directly activate five promoters from oxy cluster. Overexpression of otcR at an appropriate level dramatically increased OTC production by 6.49 times compared to the parental strain, thus demonstrating the great potential of manipulating OtcR to improve the yield of OTC production.

Abstract
Background The otrC gene of Streptomyces rimosus was previously annotated as an oxytetracycline (OTC) resistance protein. However, the amino acid sequence analysis of OtrC shows that it is a putative ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporter with multidrug resistance function. To our knowledge, none of the ABC transporters in S. rimosus have yet been characterized. In this study, we aimed to characterize the multidrug exporter function of OtrC and evaluate its relevancy to OTC production. Results In order to investigate OtrC’s function, otrC is cloned and expressed in E. coli The exporter function of OtrC was identified by ATPase activity determination and ethidium bromide efflux assays. Also, the susceptibilities of OtrC-overexpressing cells to several structurally unrelated drugs were compared with those of OtrC-non-expressing cells by minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) assays, indicating that OtrC functions as a drug exporter with a broad range of drug specificities. The OTC production was enhanced by 1.6-fold in M4018 (P = 0.000877) and 1.4-fold in SR16 (P = 0.00973) duplication mutants, while it decreased to 80% in disruption mutants (P = 0.0182 and 0.0124 in M4018 and SR16, respectively). Conclusions The results suggest that OtrC is an ABC transporter with multidrug resistance function, and plays an important role in self-protection by drug efflux mechanisms. This is the first report of such a protein in S. rimosus, and otrC could be a valuable target for genetic manipulation to improve the production of industrial antibiotics.
