Biosynthesis of gamma-butyrolactone autoregulators that switch on secondary metabolism and morphological development in Streptomyces.
Kato J.Y., Funa N., Watanabe H., Ohnishi Y., Horinouchi S.

A factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone) is a representative of the gamma-butyrolactone autoregulators that trigger secondary metabolism and morphogenesis in the Gram-positive, filamentous bacterial genus Streptomyces. Here, we report the A factor biosynthesis pathway in Streptomyces griseus. The monomeric AfsA, containing a tandem repeat domain of approximately 80 aa, catalyzed beta-ketoacyl transfer from 8-methyl-3-oxononanoyl-acyl carrier protein to the hydroxyl group of dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP), thus producing an 8-methyl-3-oxononanoyl-DHAP ester. The fatty acid ester was nonenzymatically converted to a butenolide phosphate by intramolecular aldol condensation. The butenolide phosphate was then reduced by BprA that was encoded just downstream of afsA. The phosphate group on the resultant butanolide was finally removed by a phosphatase, resulting in formation of A factor. The 8-methyl-3-oxononanoyl-DHAP ester produced by the action of AfsA was also converted to A factor in an alternative way; the phosphate group on the ester was first removed by a phosphatase and the dephosphorylated ester was converted nonenzymatically to a butenolide, which was then reduced by a reductase different from BprA, resulting in A factor. Because introduction of afsA alone into Escherichia coli caused the host to produce a substance having A factor activity, the reductase(s) and phosphatase(s) were not specific to the A factor biosynthesis but commonly present in bacteria. AfsA is thus the key enzyme for the biosynthesis of gamma-butyrolactones. << Less

Null mutation analysis of an afsA-family gene, barX, that is involved in biosynthesis of the {gamma}-butyrolactone autoregulator in Streptomyces virginiae.

Virginiae butanolide (VB) is a gamma-butyrolactone autoregulator that triggers production of the streptogramin antibiotic virginiamycin in Streptomyces virginiae. Our previous studies suggested that the barX gene, an afsA-family gene, is likely to participate in the regulatory pathway for the production of VB, rather than in the biosynthetic pathway of VB itself, in contrast to the function of other afsA-family genes. Mutation analysis now shows that BarX at least plays an enzymic role in the VB biosynthetic pathway. Heterologous expression of the afsA gene from Streptomyces griseus into the barX mutant partially restored the deficiency of virginiamycin production, suggesting that afsA-family genes have a common ability to synthesize the gamma-butyrolactone autoregulators. Taken together with previous works relating to the function of an afsA-family gene, these results support the idea that streptomycetes have two biosynthetic pathways for the gamma-butyrolactone autoregulators. << Less

Nucleotide sequence and transcriptional analysis of the Streptomyces griseus gene (afsA) responsible for A-factor biosynthesis.
Horinouchi S., Suzuki H., Nishiyama M., Beppu T.
The nucleotide sequence of the Streptomyces griseus afsA gene, possibly encoding a key enzyme for A-factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone) biosynthesis, was determined.

The nucleotide sequence of the Streptomyces griseus afsA gene, possibly encoding a key enzyme for A-factor (2-isocapryloyl-3R-hydroxymethyl-gamma-butyrolactone) biosynthesis, was determined. The translational initiation codon was identified by introducing out-of-frame mutations at appropriate positions by oligonucleotide-directed mutagenesis. The afsA gene was thus found to code for a protein of 301 amino acid residues and 32.6 kilodaltons whose codon usage pattern was in agreement with the general tendency of Streptomyces genes with an extremely high guanine-plus-cytosine content. High-resolution S1 nuclease mapping indicated that the transcriptional start point was the A residue, the first position of the ATG translational initiation codon. << Less

gamma-Butyrolactones play an important role in the regulation of antibiotic production and differentiation in Streptomyces. However the biosynthetic pathway for these small molecules has not yet been determined, and in vitro synthesis has not been reported. The function of the AfsA family of proteins, originally proposed to catalyse gamma-butyrolactone synthesis, has been in debate. To clarify the function of the AfsA family, and to understand the synthesis of the gamma-butyrolactones, we performed in silico analysis of this protein family. AfsA proteins consist of two divergent domains, each of which has similarity to the fatty acid synthesis enzymes FabA and FabZ. The two predicted active sites in ScbA, which is the AfsA orthologue found in Streptomyces coelicolor, were mutated, and gamma-butyrolactone biosynthesis was abolished in all four constructed mutants, strongly suggesting that ScbA has enzymic activity. << Less
