Abstract
|
|
|
Streptomyces albus wild type produced salinomycin and the strain 14¡33 chromosomal DNA was used for the construction of genomic library using pKC 505 cosmid vector. The genomic library was screened using act 1 (gene for actinorhodin synthase-condensing enzyme) probe and p22¡81 was isolated. TLC, HPLC, and MS analyses revealed that S. lividans transformed with the p22¡81 produced salinomycin. The p22¡81 contained about 24 kb insert and a region of 4.4 kb fragment of the insert hybridized with actI and ACP (acyl-carrier protein) probes was sequenced. Five ORFs found in the same direction were homologus to tcmI, tcmK, tcmL, tcmM and actIII, respectively (tcm; tetracenomycin, act; actinorhodin), tcmI is a cyclase in tetracenomycin synthase gene clusters and tcmK & tcmL are gene for heterodimeric beta-acyl synthase. tcmM codes ACP and actIII is a gene for ketoreductase.
