ABSTRACT The rare actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis forms sporangia, including hundreds of flagellated spores that start swimming as zoospores after their release. Under conditions suitable for vegetative growth, zoospores stop swimming and germinate. A comparative proteome analysis between zoospores and germinating cells identified 15 proteins that were produced in larger amounts in germinating cells. They include an orthologue of BldD (herein named AmBldD [BldD of A. missouriensis]), which is a transcriptional regulator involved in morphological development and secondary metabolism in Streptomyces. AmBldD was detected in mycelia during vegetative growth but was barely detected in mycelia during the sporangium-forming phase, in spite of the constant transcription of AmbldD throughout growth. An AmbldD mutant started to form sporangia much earlier than the wild-type strain, and the resulting sporangia were morphologically abnormal. Recombinant AmBldD bound a palindromic sequence, the AmBldD box, located upstream from AmbldD. 3′,5′-Cyclic di-GMP significantly enhanced the in vitro DNA-binding ability of AmBldD. A chromatin immunoprecipitation-sequencing analysis and an in silico search for AmBldD boxes revealed that AmBldD bound 346 genomic loci that contained the 19-bp inverted repeat 5′-NN(G/A)TNACN(C/G)N(G/C)NGTNA(C/T)NN-3′ as the consensus AmBldD-binding sequence. The transcriptional analysis of 27 selected AmBldD target gene candidates indicated that AmBldD should repress 12 of the 27 genes, including bldM, ssgB, whiD, ddbA, and wblA orthologues. These genes are involved in morphological development in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2). Thus, AmBldD is a global transcriptional regulator that seems to repress the transcription of tens of genes during vegetative growth, some of which are likely to be required for sporangium formation. IMPORTANCE The rare actinomycete Actinoplanes missouriensis undergoes complex morphological differentiation, including sporangium formation. However, almost no molecular biological studies have been conducted on this bacterium. BldD is a key global regulator involved in the morphological development of streptomycetes. BldD orthologues are highly conserved among sporulating actinomycetes, but no BldD orthologues, except one in Saccharopolyspora erythraea, have been studied outside the streptomycetes. Here, it was revealed that the BldD orthologue AmBldD is essential for normal developmental processes in A. missouriensis. The AmBldD regulon seems to be different from the BldD regulon in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2), but they share four genes that are involved in morphological differentiation in S. coelicolor A3(2).

Erythromycins produced by Saccharopolyspora erythraea have broad-spectrum antibacterial activities. Recently, several TetR-family transcriptional regulators (TFRs) were identified to control erythromycin production by multiplex control modes; however, their regulatory network remains poorly understood. In this study, we report a novel TFR, SACE_0303, positively correlated with erythromycin production in Sac. erythraea. It directly represses its adjacent gene SACE_0304 encoding a MarR-family regulator and indirectly stimulates the erythromycin biosynthetic gene eryAI and resistance gene ermE. SACE_0304 negatively regulates erythromycin biosynthesis by directly inhibiting SACE_0303 as well as eryAI and indirectly repressing ermE. Then, the SACE_0303 binding site within the SACE_0303-SACE_0304 intergenic region was defined. Through genome scanning combined with in vivo and in vitro experiments, three additional SACE_0303 target genes (SACE_2467 encoding cation-transporting ATPase, SACE_3156 encoding a large transcriptional regulator, SACE_5222 encoding α-ketoglutarate permease) were identified and proved to negatively affect erythromycin production. Finally, by coupling CRISPRi-based repression of those three targets with SACE_0304 deletion and SACE_0303 overexpression, we performed stepwise engineering of the SACE_0303-mediated mini-regulatory network in a high-yield strain, resulting in enhanced erythromycin production by 67%. In conclusion, the present study uncovered the regulatory network of a novel TFR for control of erythromycin production and provides a multiplex tactic to facilitate the engineering of industrial actinomycetes for yield improvement of antibiotics.
