Three of four GlnR binding sites are essential for GlnR-mediated activation of transcription of the Amycolatopsis mediterranei nas operon.
In Amycolatopsis mediterranei U32, genes responsible for nitrate assimilation formed one operon, nasACKBDEF, whose transcription is induced by the addition of nitrate. Here, we characterized GlnR as a direct transcriptional activator for the nas operon. The GlnR-protected DNA sequences in the promoter region of the nas operon were characterized by DNase I footprinting assay, the previously dedu...
متن کاملTwo genes, rif15 and rif16, of the rifamycin biosynthetic gene cluster in Amycolatopsis mediterranei likely encode a transketolase and a P450 monooxygenase, respectively, both essential for the conversion of rifamycin SV into B.
Amycolatopsis mediterranei produces an important antibiotic rifamycin, the biosynthesis of which involves many unusual modifications. Previous work suggested a putative P450 enzyme encoded by rif16 within the rifamycin biosynthetic gene cluster (rif) was required for the conversion of the intermediate rifamycin SV into the end product rifamycin B. In this study, we genetically proved that a put...
متن کاملDraft Genome Sequence of the Rifamycin Producer Amycolatopsis rifamycinica DSM 46095
Amycolatopsis rifamycinica DSM 46095 is an actinobacterium that produces rifamycin SV, an antibiotic used against Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Here, we present the draft genome of DSM 46095, which harbors a novel rifamycin polyketide biosynthetic gene cluster (rif PKS) that differed by 10% in nucleotide sequence from the already reported rif PKS cluster of Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699.
متن کاملWhole genome sequence of the rifamycin B-producing strain Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699.
Amycolatopsis mediterranei S699 is an actinomycete that produces an important antibiotic, rifamycin B. Semisynthetic derivatives of rifamycin B are used for the treatment of tuberculosis, leprosy, and AIDS-related mycobacterial infections. Here, we report the complete genome sequence (10.2 Mb) of A. mediterranei S699, with 9,575 predicted coding sequences.
متن کاملA feedback regulatory model for RifQ-mediated repression of rifamycin export in Amycolatopsis mediterranei
BACKGROUND Due to the important role of rifamycin in curing tuberculosis infection, the study on rifamycin has never been stopped. Although RifZ, which locates within the rifamycin biosynthetic cluster, has recently been characterized as a pathway-specific regulator for rifamycin biosynthesis, little is known about the regulation of rifamycin export. RESULTS In this work, we proved that the e...
