Enzymatic phosphorylation of streptomycin by extracts of streptomycin-producing strains of Streptomyces.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Extracts of post-exponential phase mycelia of Streptomyces bikiniensis ATCC 11062, and other streptomycin-producers, catalyze phosphorylation of streptomycin and dihydrostreptomycin with adenosine-5'-triphosphate. The phosphate is esterified with an -OH group of the streptidine moiety. It is suggested that O-phosphoryl-streptomycin might serve as an intracellular precursor of extracellular streptomycin or as a detoxification product of streptomycin or that it might serve an unknown physiological function in the producing organism.

Introduction: Streptomyces species are mycelial, aerobic gram-positive bacteria that are isolated from soil and produce a diverse range of antibiotics. Streptomyces griseus produces the antibiotic, streptomycin and forms spores even in a liquid culture. The gene cluster for the production of Streptomycin antibiotic contains strR gene that encodes StrR, a pathway-specific regulator. Then, this p...

Extracts of streptomycin-producing strains of Sfreptomyces phosphorylate dihydrostreptomycin (sfrepfidino)phosphate with adenosine 5’-triphosphate as the phosphoryl donor. The second phosphate is esterified with the dihydrostreptobiosamine moiety. Streptomycin (sfreptidino)phosphate was not phosphorylated under similar conditions. Because of its lability, the new enzyme that is responsible for ...
متن کاملMolecular cloning and expression in Streptomyces lividans of a streptomycin 6-phosphotransferase gene from a streptomycin-producing microorganism.
The gene encoding streptomycin 6-kinase involved in the self-resistance of the streptomycin-producing Streptomyces griseus HUT 6037 was cloned in the plasmid vector pIJ703. The resulting plasmid, pSP6, contained 2.5 kb inserts of S. griseus DNA. When streptomycin-susceptible S. lividans 1326 was retransformed with pSP6, all transformants produced streptomycin 6-kinase. Addition of streptomycin ...
متن کاملVariations in Strains of Streptomyces griseus Isolated from a Degenerating Streptomycin-Producing Culture.
Streptomycin-resistant strains were isolated from a degenerated streptomycin-producing culture of Streptomyces griseus. From 250 resistant strains, 3 low, 2 intermediate, and 2 high potency strains were selected; these were compared in their morphological, cultural, physiological, and streptomycin-producing properties. Though no definite correlation between streptomycin production and the other...
متن کاملStreptomycin resistance in a streptomycin-producing microorganism.
Cell-free extracts of Streptomyces bikiniensis contain an adenosine 5'-triphosphate-dependent kinase which inactivates streptomycin (Sm) and dihydrostreptomycin by phosphorylation. The products have been identified as streptomycin 6-phosphate and dihydrostreptomycin 6-phosphate. Activity was not present in logarithmic-phase cells, which were susceptible to 25 mug of Sm per ml. In stationary-pha...
