Abstract

Doxorubicin is an anthracycline-family polyketide compound with a very potent anti-cancer activity, typically produced by Streptomyces peucetius. To understand the potential target biosynthetic genes critical for the doxorubicin everproduction, a doxorubicin-specific DNA microarray chip was fabricated and applied to reveal the growth-phase-dependent expression profiles of biosynthetic genes from two doxorubicin-overproducing strains along with the wild-type strain. Two doxorubicin-overproducing 5. peucetius strains were generated via over-expression of a dnrl (a doxorubicin-specific positive regulatory gene) and a doxA (a gene involved in the conversion from daunorubicin to doxorubicin) using a streptomycetes high expression vector containing a strong ermE promoter. Each doxorubicin-overproducing strain was quantitatively compared with the wild-type doxorubicin producer based on the growth-phase-dependent doxorubicin productivity as well as doxorubicin biosynthetic gene expression profiles. The doxorubicin-specific DNA microarray chip data revealed the early-and-steady expressions of the doxorubicin-specific regulatory gene (dnrl), the doxorubicin resistance genes (drrA, drrB, drrC), and the doxorubicin deoxysugar biosynthetic gene (dnmL) are critical for the doxorubicin overproduction in S. peucetius. These results provide that the relationship between the growth-phase-dependent doxorubicin productivity and the doxorubicin biosynthetic gene expression profiles should lead us a rational design of molecular genetic strain improvement strategy.

독소루비신 생합성 유전자의 발현을 촉진시키는 유전자인 dnrI와 다나루비신으로부터 독소루비신으로의 생전환에 관여하는 유전자인 doxA를 ermE 프로모터가 포함된 pSE34에 도입하였을 때 각각 5.5배, 2.5배의 독소루비신 생산성 증가가 이루어졌다. 독소루비신 생합성 유전자군의 발현패턴 분석을 위한 DNA microarray system을 구축하였고, 고생산 균주의 독소루비신 생합성 유전자 발현 패턴을 DNA microarray를 통해 확인하였다. 독소루비신 생합성 유전자군의 세포성장에 따른 발현패턴을 분석한 결과, 독소루비신 생산성 증가에 따라 생합성 유전자의 발현도 증가함을 확인할 수 있었고, pSE34를 통해 도입해준 donA, dnrI 유전자의 경우 전체 생합성 유전자의 평균보다 높은 수준의 발현량을 보여줌으로써, ermE 프로모터에 의해 발현이 극대화되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 독소루비신 내성 유전자의 경우 다른 독소루비신 생합성 유전자들에 비해 발현정도가 크게 증가했고, DnrI 의해 조절을 받는 다른 유전자들의 발현 수준과 비교하였을 때 TDP-daunosamine을 생합성의 첫 번째 단계에 관여하는 dnmL 유전자는 그 발현양의 증가가 크지 않았다. 따라서 DNA microarray 시스템 분석 결과, 독소루비신 생산성 극대화를 위해서는 dnrI, doxA, drrA, drrB, drrC, dnmL 등의 유전자들의 안정적 발현이 매우 중요하고도 핵심적인 인자임이 확인되었다.
