Lejeune C, Cornu D, Sago L, Redeker V, Virolle MJ. The stringent response is strongly activated in the antibiotic producing strain, Streptomyces coelicolor. Res Microbiol 2024; 175:104177.

Abstract
S. lividans and S. coelicolor are phylogenetically closely related strains with different abilities to produce the same specialized metabolites. Previous studies revealed that the strong antibiotic producer, S. coelicolor, had a lower ability to assimilate nitrogen and phosphate than the weak producer, Streptomyces lividans, and this resulted into a lower growth rate. A comparative proteomic dataset was used to establish the consequences of these nutritional stresses on the abundance of proteins of the translational apparatus of these strains, grown in low and high phosphate availability. Our study revealed that most proteins of the translational apparatus were less abundant in S. coelicolor than in S. lividans whereas it was the opposite for ET-Tu 3 and a TrmA-like methyltransferase. The expression of the latter being known to be under the positive control of the stringent response whereas that of the other ribosomal proteins is under its negative control, this indicated the occurrence of a strong activation of the stringent response in S. coelicolor. Furthermore, in S. lividans, ribosomal proteins were more abundant in phosphate proficiency than in phosphate limitation suggesting that a limitation in phosphate, that was also shown to trigger RelA expression, contributes to the induction of the stringent response.

Abstract
This article provides a comprehensive review and sequence-structure analysis of transcription regulator (TR) families, TetR and OmpR/PhoB, involved in specialized secondary metabolite (SSM) biosynthesis and resistance. Transcription regulation is a fundamental process, playing a crucial role in orchestrating gene expression to confer a survival advantage in response to frequent environmental stress conditions. This process, coupled with signal sensing, enables bacteria to respond to a diverse range of intra and extracellular signals. Thus, major bacterial signaling systems use a receptor domain to sense chemical stimuli along with an output domain responsible for transcription regulation through DNA-binding. Sensory and output domains on a single polypeptide chain (one component system, OCS) allow response to stimuli by allostery, that is, DNA-binding affinity modulation upon signal presence/absence. On the other hand, two component systems (TCSs) allow cross-talk between the sensory and output domains as they are disjoint and transmit information by phosphorelay to mount a response. In both cases, however, TRs play a central role. Biosynthesis of SSMs, which includes antibiotics, is heavily regulated by TRs as it diverts the cell's resources towards the production of these expendable compounds, which also have clinical applications. These TRs have evolved to relay information across specific signals and target genes, thus providing a rich source of unique mechanisms to explore towards addressing the rapid escalation in antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Here, we focus on the TetR and OmpR family TRs, which belong to OCS and TCS, respectively. These TR families are well-known examples of regulators in secondary metabolism and are ubiquitous across different bacteria, as they also participate in a myriad of cellular processes apart from SSM biosynthesis and resistance. As a result, these families exhibit higher sequence divergence, which is also evident from our bioinformatic analysis of 158 389 and 77 437 sequences from TetR and OmpR family TRs, respectively. The analysis of both sequence and structure allowed us to identify novel motifs in addition to the known motifs responsible for TR function and its structural integrity. Understanding the diverse mechanisms employed by these TRs is essential for unraveling the biosynthesis of SSMs. This can also help exploit their regulatory role in biosynthesis for significant pharmaceutical, agricultural, and industrial applications.

Abstract
Bacteria respond to changing environments by modulating their gene expression programs. One of the mechanisms by which this may be accomplished is by substituting the primary σ factor with an alternative σ factor belonging to the family of extracytoplasmic function (ECF) σ factors. ECF σ factors are activated only in presence of specific signals, and they direct the RNA polymerase (RNAP) to transcribe a defined subset of genes. One condition, which may trigger the activation of an ECF σ factor, is iron limitation. To overcome iron starvation, bacteria produce and secrete siderophores, which chelate iron and facilitate its cellular uptake. In the genus Burkholderia, which includes several serious human pathogens, uptake of iron is critical for virulence, and expression of biosynthetic gene clusters encoding proteins involved in synthesis and transport of the primary siderophores are under control of an ECF σ factor. This review summarizes mechanisms involved in regulation of these gene clusters, including the role of global transcriptional regulators. Since siderophore-mediated iron acquisition is important for virulence, interference with this process constitutes a viable approach to the treatment of bacterial infections.

Abstract
Critical to meeting cellular phosphorus (P) demand, soil bacteria deploy a number of strategies to overcome limitation in inorganic P (Pi ) in soils. As a significant contributor to P recycling, soil bacteria secrete extracellular enzymes to degrade organic P (Po ) in soils into the readily bioavailable Pi . In addition, several Po compounds can be transported directly via specific transporters and subsequently enter intracellular metabolic pathways. In this review, we highlight the strategies that soil bacteria employ to recycle Po from the soil environment. We discuss the diversity of extracellular phosphatases in soils, the selectivity of these enzymes towards various Po biomolecules and the influence of the soil environmental conditions on the enzyme's activities. Moreover, we outline the intracellular metabolic pathways for Po biosynthesis and transporter-assisted Po and Pi uptake at different Pi availabilities. We further highlight the regulatory mechanisms that govern the production of phosphatases, the expression of Po transporters and the key metabolic changes in P metabolism in response to environmental Pi availability. Due to the depletion of natural resources for Pi , we propose future studies needed to leverage bacteria-mediated P recycling from the large pools of Po in soils or organic wastes to benefit agricultural productivity.

Abstract
Many microbial specialized metabolites are industrially relevant agents but also serve as signaling molecules in intra-species and even inter-kingdom interactions. In the antibiotic-producing Streptomyces, members of the SARP (Streptomyces antibiotic regulatory proteins) family of regulators are often encoded within biosynthetic gene clusters and serve as their direct activators. Coelimycin is the earliest, colored specialized metabolite synthesized in the life cycle of the model organism Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Deletion of its two SARP activators cpkO and cpkN abolished coelimycin synthesis and resulted in dramatic changes in the production of the later, stationary-phase antibiotics. The underlying mechanisms of these phenotypes were deregulation of precursor flux and quorum sensing, as shown by label-free, bottom-up shotgun proteomics. Detailed profiling of promoter activities demonstrated that CpkO is the upper-level cluster activator that induces CpkN, while CpkN activates type II thioesterase ScoT, necessary for coelimycin synthesis. What is more, we show that cpkN is regulated by quorum sensing gamma-butyrolactone receptor ScbR.

Abstract
The stringent response involves accumulation of (p)ppGpp, and it ensures that survival is prioritized. Production of (p)ppGpp requires purine synthesis, and upregulation of an operon that encodes the purine salvage enzyme xanthine dehydrogenase (Xdh) has been observed during stringent response in some bacterial species, where direct binding of ppGpp to a TetR-family transcription factor is responsible for increased xdh gene expression. We show here that the plant pathogen Ralstonia solanacearum has a regulatory system in which the LysR-family transcription factor XanR controls expression of the xan operon; this operon encodes Xdh as well as other enzymes involved in purine salvage, which favor accumulation of xanthine. XanR bound upstream of the xan operon, a binding that was attenuated on addition of either ppGpp or cyclic di-guanosine monophosphate (c-di-GMP). Using a reporter in which enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) is expressed under control of a modified xan promoter, XanR was shown to repress EGFP production. Our data suggest that R. solanacearum features a regulatory mechanism in which expression of genes encoding purine salvage enzymes is controlled by a transcription factor that belongs to a different protein family, yet performs similar regulatory functions.

Abstract
One of the most commonly prescribed antibiotics against Burkholderia infections is co-trimoxazole, a cocktail of trimethoprim and sulfamethoxazole. Trimethoprim elicits an upregulation of the mal gene cluster, which encodes proteins involved in synthesis of the cytotoxic polyketide malleilactone; trimethoprim does so by increasing expression of the malR gene, which encodes the activator MalR. We report that B. thailandensis grown on trimethoprim exhibited increased virulence against Caenorhabditis elegans. This enhanced virulence correlated with an increase in expression of the mal gene cluster. Notably, inhibition of xanthine dehydrogenase by addition of allopurinol led to similar upregulation of malA and malR, with addition of trimethoprim or allopurinol also resulting in an equivalent intracellular accumulation of xanthine. Xanthine is a ligand for the transcription factor MftR that leads to attenuated DNA binding, and we show using chromatin immunoprecipitation that MftR binds directly to malR. Our gene expression data suggest that malR expression is repressed by both MftR and by a separate transcription factor, which also responds to a metabolite that accumulates on exposure to trimethoprim. Since allopurinol elicits a similar increase in malR/malA expression as trimethoprim, we suggest that impaired purine homeostasis plays a primary role in trimethoprim-mediated induction of malR and in turn malA.

Abstract
Inducible gene expression systems are vital tools for the advancement of synthetic biology. Their application as genetically encoded biosensors has the potential to contribute to diagnostics and to revolutionise the field of microbial cell factory development. Currently, the number of compounds of biological interest by far exceeds the number of available biosensors. Here, we address this limitation by developing a generic genome-wide approach to identify transcription factor-based inducible gene expression systems. We construct and validate 15 functional biosensors, provide a characterisation workflow to facilitate forward engineering efforts, exemplify their broad-host-range applicability, and demonstrate their utility in enzyme screening. Previously uncharacterised interactions between sensors and compounds of biological relevance are identified by employing the largest reported library of metabolite-responsive biosensors in an automated high-throughput screen. With the rapidly growing genomic data these innovative capabilities offer a platform to vastly increase the number of biologically detectable molecules. Inducible gene expression tools have important applications as genetically encoded biosensors. Here the authors conduct a genome-wide approach to identify and utilise functional sensors.

Abstract
Antibiotic producing Streptomyces sense and respond to environmental signals by using nucleotide second messengers, including (p)ppGpp, cAMP, c-di-GMP and c-di-AMP. As summarized in this review, these molecules are important message carriers that coordinate the complex Streptomyces morphological transition from filamentous growth to sporulation along with the secondary metabolite production. Here, we provide an overview of the enzymes that make and break these second messengers and suggest candidates for (p)ppGpp and cAMP enzymes to be studied. We highlight the target molecules that bind these signalling molecules and elaborate individual functions that they control in the context of Streptomyces development. Finally, we discuss open questions in the field, which may guide future studies in this exciting research area.

Abstract
Stress and starvation causes bacterial cells to activate the stringent response. This results in down-regulation of energy-requiring processes related to growth, as well as an upregulation of genes associated with survival and stress responses. Guanosine tetra- and pentaphosphates (collectively referred to as (p)ppGpp) are critical for this process. In Gram-positive bacteria, a main function of (p)ppGpp is to limit cellular levels of GTP, one consequence of which is reduced transcription of genes that require GTP as the initiating nucleotide, such as rRNA genes. In Streptomycetes, the stringent response is also linked to complex morphological differentiation and to production of secondary metabolites, including antibiotics. These processes are also influenced by the second messenger c-di-GMP. Since GTP is a substrate for both (p)ppGpp and c-di-GMP, a finely tuned regulation of cellular GTP levels is required to ensure adequate synthesis of these guanosine derivatives. Here, we discuss mechanisms that operate to control guanosine metabolism and how they impinge on the production of antibiotics in Streptomyces species.

Abstract
Actinomycin peptide synthetase genes constitute two oppositely oriented transcriptional units, acmADR, and acmBC, separated by a non-coding intergenic region. Gene constructs of the intergenic region together with its adjoining gene acmA or acmB from the actinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster of Streptomyces chrysomallus were transferred into Streptomyces lividans TK64. Each construct expressed the respective synthetase indicating divergent promoters. Primer extension revealed for both directions -10 and -35 boxes similar to σ70 -dependent promoters from Streptomyces and E. coli. No conspicuous regulatory sequences were detected. Accordingly, S. chrysomallus-grown in glucose-containing medium-produced the peptide synthetases AcmA and AcmB/C as well as actinomycin during logarithmic growth phase. Alignments with the corresponding intergenic region of the actinomycin biosynthetic gene cluster in Streptomyces antibioticus identified analogous -10 and -35 boxes of σ70 consensus sequence. However, in S. antibioticus-cultivated in the same conditions-AcmA and AcmB/C were at maximum activity in late log phase and actinomycin formation peaked in stationary phase. The different patterns of formation of actinomycin and its peptide synthetases encoded by the highly homologous actinomycin biosynthetic gene clusters in S. chrysomallus and S. antibioticus suggest strain-specific control of biosynthesis in agreement with absence of pathway-specific regulatory genes.
