PikD |
A genetic analysis of PikD using the xylE reporter system showed that the PikD regulator activates the pikAI promoter, whereas it directly or indirectly represses desI
promoter, and does not participate in pikC regulation in wild-type S. venezuelae. Gene expression analysis by
reverse transcriptase PCR and bioconversion experiments of 10-deoxymethynolide, narbonolide, and TL into the corresponding desosaminyl macrolides indicated that PikD is a positive regulator of the des and pikC genes,
as well as the Pik PKS genes. |
AfsR-sv |
RT-PCR analysis was carried out to assess the expression levels of two representative genes: the ketosynthase (KS) gene and pikD. RT-PCR assays demonstrated that afsR-sv functions as a positive regulator and is involved in the regulation of pikromycin biosynthesis in S. venezuelae. Overexpression of afsR-sv in S. venezuelae seemed to activate the transcription of ketosynthase and a pathway-specific regulator, both resulting in the overproduction of pikromycin. |
