Outline of Final Research Achievements

Production of secondary metabolites using biosynthetic gene clusters over 200 kb had not been reported previously. Establishment of a method for heterologous expression of biosynthetic gene cluster over 200 kb will enable us to exploit biosynthetic gene clusters without limitation of size. To this end, we demonstrated heterologous expression of the biosynthetic gene cluster of quinolidomicin A1 derived from Micromonospora chalcea AK-AN57, which is the largest macrolide from terrestrial origins. Its biosynthetic gene cluster spanning 215 kb was cloned and co-expressed with two positive transcriptional regulators in Streptomyces lividans TK23ΔredDX. As a result, production of quinolidomicinA1 in the heterologous host was accomplished. This is the first example of the heterologous expression of the biosynthetic gene cluster over 200 kb.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

これまで生合成遺伝子を利用した異種発現による化合物生産の例は限られており150 kb を超える例はほとんどない。本研究の結果、200 kbを超える生合成遺伝子クラスターを取得し転写因子と共発現することで生合成経路の異種宿主内での再構築に成功した。200 kb を超える遺伝子クラスターを利用して化合物生産を達成した初めての例である。本研究と同様の手法を利用することで、非リボソームペプチドやポリケタイドの生合成に関わる巨大生合成遺伝子クラスターを利用した有用物質の探索や生産につながると期待される。
