Abstract

24

With the advent of the genomics era, heterologous gene expression has been used

25

extensively as a mean of accessing natural products (NPs) from environmental DNA

26

samples. However, the heterologous production of NPs often has very low efficiency

27

or is unable to produce targeted NPs. Moreover, due to the complicated transcriptional

28

and metabolic regulation of NP biosynthesis in native producers, especially in the

29

cases of genome mining, it is also difficult to rationally and systematically engineer

30

synthetic pathways to improved NPs biosynthetic efficiency. In this study, various

31

strategies ranging from heterologous production of a NP to subsequent application of

32

omics-guided synthetic modules optimization for efficient biosynthesis of NPs with

33

complex structure have been developed. Heterologous production of spinosyn in

34

Streptomyces spp has been demonstrated as an example of the application of these

35

approaches. Combined with the targeted omics approach, several rate-limiting steps of

36

spinosyn heterologous production in Streptomyces spp have been revealed.

37

Subsequent engineering work overcame three of selected rate-limiting steps, the

38

production of spinosad was increased step by step and finally reached 1460 µg/L,

39

which is about 1,000-fold higher than the original strain S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M).

40

These results indicated that the omics platform developed in this work was a powerful

41

tool for guiding the rational refactoring of heterologous biosynthetic pathway in

42

Streptomyces host. Additionally, this work lays the foundation for further studies

43

aimed at the more efficient production of spinosyn in a heterologous host. And the

44

strategy developed in this study is expected to become readily adaptable to high

45

efficient heterologous production of other NPs with complex structure.

Introduction

49

Natural products (NPs) or secondary metabolites, obtained from the microbial, plant

50

and marine worlds, were important sources for the development of new

51

pharmaceuticals

52

number of NPs pathways were discovered in microbes, making it became one of the

53

most promising sources for drug discovery 5. However, many biosynthetic genes are

54

derived from microbes that are uncultivable or not amenable to genetic manipulation

55

microbes 6. Accordingly, heterologous gene expression has been used extensively as a

56

mean of accessing target NPs in genome mining. Streptomyces spp. is a rich source of

57

NPs, in which different kinds of cellular intermediates, including sugars, amino acids,

58

fatty acids, terpenes, shikimate, etc., could be used for the biosynthesis of

59

pharmaceutical compounds with complex structure

60

Streptomyces spp, including S. avermitilis, S. coelicolor, S. venezuelae, S. lividans, S.

61

albus etc., have been developed as potential hosts and used widely for heterologous

62

expression of NPs 9-16.

74

heterologous expression 19, 20.

75

However, it should be noted that occasionally possibly owing to the different genetic

76

distances (native producer vs heterologous host) and complex native regulation, the

77

heterologous production of NPs has very low efficiency or is even unable to produce

78

targeted metabolites

79

mining and heterologous expression. It is often difficult to rationally and

80

systematically identify obstacles which hinder the production of NPs. The emergence

81

of the innovative systems metabolic engineering concepts23, which integrate systems

82

and synthetic biology with metabolic engineering24, has contribute to developing

83

efficient strategies to improve NPs biosynthetic efficiency on a global scale.

84

Therefore, as one of the main approaches in system biology, the omics approach such

85

as transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics

86

systematic analysis to identify the rate-liming steps or synthetic modules

87

information provided by omics analysis could guide heterologous expression of NPs

88

in several aspects, such as transcription regulation, module optimization, and host

89

improvement, etc (Figure 1).

7, 21, 22

. And such qualities are prevalent in the cases of genome

25-27

, which can be applied to 8, 28

. The

As a proof of concept, this study used the heterologous biosynthesis of spinosad (a

92

mixture of spinosyn A and spinosyn D) in Streptomyces host as an example for

93

several reasons. Firstly, as a typical large type I polyketide antibiotic produced by

94

Saccharopolyspora spinosa NRRL 18395 29, spinosyn is a novel environment-friendly

95

insecticide, which has been used widely for insect control in agriculture 30. Secondly,

96

the biosynthesis of spinosyn was very complicated and needed many participating

97

genes 31 (Figure S1). In the 80-kb spinosyn biosynthetic gene cluster, 14 of 19 genes

, as well as multiple steps of

. Lastly, but most importantly, probably due to

101

such a complicated and delicate post-modification, previous attempts on heterologous

102

production of spinosyn in Streptomyces were ended in failure 41.

103 104

In this work, a set of strategies involved in BAC library construction, efficient

105

conjugation and integration of a large plasmid into a Streptomyces host, identification

106

of rate-limiting steps by omics analysis, and rational synthetic module optimization

107

for production of targeted products in a heterologous host have been developed. This

108

resulting approach is likewise expected to become adaptable to highly efficient

heterologous production of valuable NPs with complex structures.

123

To obtain the intact spinosyn biosynthetic gene cluster (≈ 80 kb), the genomic DNA

124

of Sa. spinosa NRRL 18395 was used for BAC library construction (containing 2304

125

clones: six plates × 384 clones/plate). In all, 39 clones were selected at random for

126

BAC library characterization and evaluation; nearly all the insert sizes of BAC clones

127

ranged from 97 – 145 kb (Figure S2A). PCR screening was used to identify the clone

128

containing the intact spinosyns biosynthetic gene cluster. Three different primer pairs

129

F/R; (lib-screen-up F/R, lib-screen-md F/R and lib-screen-dn Table S2) for regions in

130

the middle and in the left/right boundary of the gene cluster were used in the assay.

131

As a result, one BAC clone (C4I6) was obtained by library screening (Figure S2B).

132

In addition, the three PCR products FI, FII and FIII were amplified by using C4I6

133

plasmid as template, suggesting C4I6 contains the intact spinosyn biosynthetic gene

134

cluster. In addition, plasmid C4I6 has been confirmed by end sequencing with primers

135

pIndigoF/R (Table S2), and the size of the C4I6 insert was greater than 100 kb

136

(Figure S3C). Here, using the pBeloBAC11-derived vector pIndigoBAC536-S,

137

which can largely facilitate the construction and characterization of BAC libraries 47,

138

the 80 kb spinosyn biosynthetic gene cluster was easily cloned and screened. In our

139

experience, BAC library construction is a more straightforward and efficient approach

140

to obtaining large DNA fragments, although it is marginally time-consuming for

141

library construction.

155

conjugants on the ISP Medium 4 plate and counting the total conjugants on the plates,

160

conjugants were selected for further verification. When the primer pair lib-screen-up

161

F/R were used for PCR analysis, DNA fragment FI could be amplified in nine of the

162

11 conjugants (Figure S5). These results indicated BAC plasmid C4I6-M could be

introduced efficiently into chromosomes of the Streptomyces host. Subsequently, the

second round of PCR verification showed all the 14 post-modification genes (spnF,

165

Transcriptional and translational analysis of biosynthetic genes in Streptomyces

180

and identification of heterologous production of spinosyn

181

The transcription of genes involved in biosynthesis served as the prerequisite for the

182

heterologous production of spinosyn. In this study, the transcription of spinosyn

183

biosynthetic genes in Streptomyces host was analyzed by RT-PCR using cDNA

184

generated from RNA isolated after fermentation for 48 h. According to our results

185

(data not shown), the 14 post-modification genes were located in different operons

186

(Figure 2A). Genes from different operons have been selected for transcriptional

187

analysis, as shown in Figure 2B, which revealed that the transcription of all the

188

selected genes could be detected. Under identical PCR conditions, the intensity of

189

amplified products indicated transcription activity of genes. In this study, the

190

transcription activity of spnI and spnP were lower compared to the others. Similar to

191

the detection of the post-modification genes, all five PKS gene fragments were

192

amplified using cDNA as template, which suggested that the spinosyn biosynthetic

193

genes could be successfully transcribed in Streptomyces spp. However, transcription

194

activity of spnE was lower compared to the others PKS genes.

The translation of spinosyn biosynthetic genes in Streptomyces host was also analyzed

199

and S. lividans TK24 (C4I6-M). Nearly two thousand proteins were detected in this

200

study (Table S3) and the 23 spinosyn biosynthetic proteins were analyzed. As given

201

in Table 2, most of the spinosyn biosynthetic proteins were present in Sa. spinosa

202

NRRL 18395 and S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M). However, approximately half of the

203

targeted proteins were not detected in S. lividans TK24 (C4I6-M). In addition, likely

204

because the expression levels of the proteins were below the detection limit of our

205

method, all the NDP-L-rhamnose biosynthetic proteins (or homologues), some of the

206

PKS proteins, methyltransferase SpnI and forosamine biosynthetic protein SpnO,

207

SpnN were not found in S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M) or S. lividans TK24 (C4I6-M).

208 209

Anyway, the above results suggested the possibility of heterologous production of

210

spinosyn in Streptomyces, especially in S. albus J1074. Therefore, the heterologous

211

production of spinosyn was qualitatively analyzed by high-resolution MS. In Figure 3,

212

as expected, the spinosyn A was detected in both S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M) and S.

213

lividans TK24 (C4I6-M). LC-MS/MS analysis confirmed spinosyn A could be

214

produced in Streptomyces spp. in a very tiny amount (a few microgram per liter)

215

(Figure S6). As a complex polyketide compound, the heterologous production of

216

spinosyn indicated both these Streptomyces hosts could provide all the essential

217

"building blocks" for spinosyn synthesis. The whole spinosyn biosynthetic pathway

218

was demonstrated in both Streptomyces hosts; however, as the last unsettled question

219

in the biosynthesis of spinosyn, the auxiliary protein for SpnP is remain unknown 39.

The lack of this protein hampers transformation of the forosamine moiety to spinosyn

well as the biosynthetic intermediate of spinosyn (or kinds of spinosyn components or

235

kinds of bacterial cells have been investigated by relative quantitative analysis of

236

nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide hydrate (NADH), NAD+, nicotinamide adenine

237

238

NAD+NRRL18395/ NAD+J1074(C4I6-M)/NAD+TK24(C4I6-M) was 1:9:5, while the ratio of

239

NADHNRRL18395/ NADHJ1074(C4I6-M)/NADHTK24(C4I6-M) was 1:11:5. At the same time,

the

NADPHNRRL18395/ NADPHJ1074(C4I6-M)/NADPHTK24(C4I6-M) were 1:3:1 and 1:8:1,

respectively. These results suggested that both the supply of NADH and NADPH in S.

243

albus J1074(C4I6-M) was higher than Sa. spinosa NRRL 18395 and, S. lividans

244

among the completely sequenced species of the genus Streptomyces 15. In this study,

250

about half of the targeted proteins have not been detected in S. lividans TK24 (Table

251

2). As indicated by the results of metabolomics analysis, S. albus J1074 has

252

considerably larger precursors (acyl-CoA, UDP-glucose) and cofactors (NADPH,

253

SAM) compared to S. lividans TK24 (Table 3). This suggests S. albus J1074 might

254

have better potential for the increased production of targeted products.

255 256

Both the rhamnose and forosamine moieties are essential for the biosynthesis of

257

spinosyn. It is suggested highly efficient biosynthesis of TDP-L-rhamnose could

258

dramatically improve production of spinosyns by duplication of gtt, gdh, epi and kre

259

55-57

260

lividans TK24 (C4I6-M) are undetectable (Table 2). Therefore, the insufficient

261

catalytic activity (or low enzyme amount) of rhamnose biosynthesis likely indicated a

262

rate-limiting step for biosynthesis of spinosyn. Further, it was found that the PKS

263

protein SpnE, methyltransferase SpnI and the forosamine biosynthetic protein SpnO

264

and SpnN were not detectable by targeted proteomics analysis in S. albus J1074

265

(C4I6-M). Based on metabolomics analysis, it appeared that the accumulation of

266

spinosyn-CH2 also indicated an insufficient enzymatic activity of methyltransferase

SpnI

268

biosynthesis of spinosyn in S. albus J1074. In addition, the accumulation of other

269

intermediates or components, including spinosyn B, E, L3 and P-CH2, also indicated

270

an insufficient amount (or low activity) of the corresponding enzymes in S. albus

271

J1074 (C4I6-M) (Table 4). And the biosynthetic pathway of spinosyn requires

272

systematically refactoring to improve the synthetic efficiency in S. albus J1074.

Combined with the targeted metabolomics and the translational analysis of spinosyn

biosynthetic genes and methyltransferase gene spnI (Figure 4A). Facilitated by the E.

288

introduced stably into the chromosome of S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M) by double

289

crossover (Figure 4B). The engineered strain S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M)-OE1 were

290

screened and verified by PCR (Figure 4C & Figure 5A). The engineered strain was

291

used in the fermentation study. As shown in Figure 5B, the ratio of spinosyn P-CH2

292

(relative abundance): spinosyn A (relative abundance) was decreased from 100% to

293

10% in S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M)-OE1. Consequently, compared to S. albus J1074

294

(C4I6-M), the production of spinosad could be easily detected (383µg/L) in S. albus

J1074 (C4I6-M)-OE1 (Figure 5C). By using the same strategy as described above,

296

the whole TDP-D-forosamine biosynthetic module has been subsequently

overexpressed in S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M)-OE2 (Figure S8 & Figure 5A). As shown

301

promoter of PKS gene spnE was also replaced with kasOp* in S. albus J1074

302

(C4I6-M)-OE3 (Figure S9 & Figure 5A), the production of spinosad finally reached

303

1460 µg/L in 48 hours (Figure S10), which is about 1,000-fold higher than the

304

original strain S. albus J1074 (C4I6-M) (Figure 5B). Accordingly, under the guidance

305

of omics analysis, the heterologous biosynthetic efficiency of spinosad could be

306

increased step by step after several rounds of synthetic pathway refactoring.

By the way, it also has to realize that, compared to Sa. spinosa NRRL 18395 and Sa.

310

However, the heterologous production of spinosyn in this work has opened a new

311

route for future modification or production of targeted product in Streptomyces host,

312

due to their rapid proliferation and readily genetic manipulation. And in Streptomyces,

313

the spinosad could be efficiently produced in a very short period compared with

314

Saccharopolyspora (Figure S10). More importantly, in this study, various strategies

315

ranging from heterologous production of a NP to subsequent application of

316

“omics”-guided metabolic engineering for efficient biosynthesis of NPs with complex

317

structure have been developed. Heterologous production of spinosyn in Streptomyces

318

spp has been demonstrated as an example of the application of these approaches.

319

Although the biosynthetic efficiency of spinosyn in Streptomyces app. has been

320

increased dramatically, in this study, the current results should serve as the start point

321

for further studies aimed at the more efficient production of spinosyn in a

322

heterologous host. Importantly, this approach could be readily adaptable to highly

323

efficient heterologous production of other valuable NPs.

soybean flour, 2% (w/v) mannitol and 2% (w/v) agar) and International Streptomyces

330

Project (ISP) Medium 4 agar plates (BD Biosciences, San Jose, CA, USA) for

331

sporulation and conjugation, respectively. Spores were collected, suspended in 20%

332

(v/v) glycerol and stored at –80°C. In fermentation experiments, seeds were grown in

333

trypticase soy broth and the fermentation medium was 4% (w/v) glucose, 1% (w/v)

334

glycerol, 3% (w/v) soluble starch, 1.5% (w/v) Difco soytone, 1% (w/v) beef extract,

0.65% (w/v) peptone, 0.05% (w/v) yeast extract, 0.1% (w/v) MgSO4, 0.2% (w/v)

336

NaCl and 0.24% (w/v) CaCO3. Spinosyn was characterized and quantified using a

BAC library construction

343

Sa. spinosa NRRL 18395 was cultivated on trypticase soy broth supplemented with

344

0.5% (w/v) glycine for 48 h. The mycelium was collected and used for the preparation

345

of chromosomal DNA plugs. A pBeloBAC11-derived BAC vector pIndigoBAC536-S

346

was used for BAC library construction essentially as described 47, 61. The BAC library

347

was evaluated by measuring the migration of plasmid during pulsed-field gel

348

electrophoresis. The BAC plasmid that contained the intact spinosyns biosynthetic

349

gene cluster was screened and verified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR).

pUC57ʹ (removed the multiple cloning sites) to generate pUC57ʹ-LR. The 6.6 kb

459

overexpression cassette was cut from the pSET152 derivate by XbaI and EcoRV, and

460

then ligated to XbaI-EcoRV digested pUC57ʹ-LR to generate pUC57ʹ-LR-gegk-I. The

461

9.6 kb DNA fragment was cut from pUC57ʹ-LR-gegk-I by HindIII and finally ligated

462

with HindIII digesged pJTU1278 to generate the Streptomyces overexpression

463

plasmid pJTU1278-gegk-I-OE.

464 465

The TDP-D-forosamine biosynthetic gene spnO, spnN, spnQ, spnR and spnS and PKS

466

gene spnE were overexpressed using kasOp*, rpsLp-cf and rpsLp-TP. And the

467

corresponding plasmid pJTU1278-ONQRS-OE and pJTU1278-spnE-OE were

468

constructed by DNA fragments assembly in yeast 67. All the primers used for plasmids

469

construction were shown in Table S2.
