Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for increasing the production of antibiotics and other useful secondary metabolites by controlling the two-component regulatory system of bacteria, especially the amrE and / or amkE genes or their highly homologous genes. In particular, the present invention relates to Amycolatopsis mediterranei and a method for producing rifamycin using the bacteria. Background technique
[0002] The two-component regulatory system (two-component systems) is an important signal transduction regulatory system in bacterial cells, which is composed of sensor protein (sensor kinase) and response regulator protein (response regulator) (Parkinson JS and Kofoid EC.Communication modules in bacterial signaling proteins. Annu Rev Genet. 1992;26:71-112). Bacteria first feel the stimulation of external signals. In the presence of ATP, the histidine site of the sensing protein undergoes autophosphorylation, and then transfers the high-energ...
