ABSTRACT A tetR family transcriptional regulatory gene (SCO1712) was identified as a global antibiotic regulatory gene from a Streptomyces interspecies DNA microarray analysis. SCO1712 disruption in S treptomyces coelicolor not only upregulated antibiotic biosynthesis through pathway-specific regulators when a previously identified pleiotropic downregulatory wblA was expressed but also further stimulated antibiotic production in a wblA deletion mutant, implying that SCO1712 might encode a novel antibiotic downregulator.

ABSTRACT Using Streptomyces coelicolor microarrays to discover regulators of gene expression in other Streptomyces species, we identified wblA, a whiB-like gene encoding a putative transcription factor, as a down-regulator of doxorubicin biosynthesis in Streptomyces peucetius. Further analysis revealed that wblA functions pleiotropically to control antibiotic production and morphological differentiation in streptomycetes. Our results reveal a novel biological role for wblA and show the utility of interspecies microarray analysis for the investigation of streptomycete gene expression.

In this study, we verified the effects of 2-aza-8-oxohypoxanthine (AOH) on human epidermal cell proliferation by performing DNA microarray analysis. Cell proliferation was assessed using the 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay, which measures mitochondrial respiration in normal human epidermal keratinocyte (NHEK) cells. Gene expression levels were determined by DNA microarray analysis of 177 genes involved in skin aging and disease. AOH showed a significant increase in cell viability at concentrations between 7.8 and 31.3 μg/mL and a significant decrease at concentrations above 250 μg/mL. DNA microarray analysis showed that AOH significantly increased the gene expression of CLDN1, DSC1, DSG1, and CDH1 (E-cadherin), which are involved in intercellular adhesion and skin barrier functioning. AOH also up-regulated the expression of KLK5, KLK7, and SPIMK5, which are proteases involved in stratum corneum detachment. Furthermore, AOH significantly stimulated the expression of KRT1, KRT10, TGM1, and IVL, which are considered general differentiation indicators, and that of SPRR1B, a cornified envelope component protein. AOH exerted a cell activation effect on human epidermal cells. Since AOH did not cause cytotoxicity, it was considered that the compound had no adverse effects on the skin. In addition, it was found that AOH stimulated the expression levels of genes involved in skin barrier functioning by DNA microarray analysis. Therefore, AOH has the potential for practical use as a cosmetic ingredient. This is the first report of efficacy evaluation tests performed for AOH.

A-factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-γ-butyrolactone) is a microbial hormone that triggers morphological differentiation and secondary metabolism in Streptomyces griseus. The effects of A-factor on global gene expression were determined by DNA microarray analysis of transcriptomes obtained with the A-factor-deficient mutant ΔafsA. A-factor was added at a concentration of 25 ng ml−1 to mutant ΔafsA at the middle of the exponential growth phase, and RNA samples were prepared from the cells grown after A-factor addition for a further 5, 15 and 30 min, and 1, 2, 4, 8 and 12 h. The effects of A-factor on transcription of all protein-coding genes of S. griseus were evaluated by comparison of the transcriptomes with those obtained from cells grown in the absence of A-factor. Analysis of variance among the transcriptomes revealed that 477 genes, which were dispersed throughout the chromosome, were differentially expressed during the 12 h after addition of A-factor, when evaluated by specific criteria. Quality threshold clustering analysis with regard to putative polycistronic transcriptional units and levels of upregulation predicted that 152 genes belonging to 74 transcriptional units were probable A-factor-inducible genes. Competitive electrophoretic mobility shift assays using DNA fragments including putative promoter regions of these 74 transcriptional units suggested that AdpA bound 37 regions to activate 72 genes in total. Many of these A-factor-inducible genes encoded proteins of unknown function, suggesting that the A-factor regulatory cascade of S. griseus affects gene expression at a specific time point more profoundly than expected.
