Accumulation of S-adenosylmethionine induced oligopeptide transporters including BldK to regulate differentiation events in Streptomyces coelicolor M145
S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM), the major methyl donor in diverse biological processes, was recently found to be involved in the regulation of differentiation in streptomycetes. Exogenous SAM, in a quantity as low as 2 μM, enhanced antibiotic production and inhibited morphological development of Strepto...

Summary: | S-Adenosylmethionine (SAM), the major methyl donor in diverse biological processes, was recently found to be involved in the regulation of differentiation in streptomycetes. Exogenous SAM, in a quantity as low as 2
μM, enhanced antibiotic production and inhibited morphological development of
Streptomyces coelicolor M145. Total protein profiling of
S.
coelicolor M145 revealed that SAM enhanced the expression of oligopeptide-binding components related to ABC transporters that included BldK, a well-known regulatory factor in
S. coelicolor differentiation. A radiolabeled SAM feeding experiment verified that exogenous SAM can be imported into the cell, which is under the control of the
bld cascade. This study substantiated that BldK serves as a transducer of the SAM signal and uncovered the possible role of oligopeptide import in the regulation of
Streptomyces differentiation, particularly in relation to SAM. |
