Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of genetic engineering technology, specifically relating to an ectopic gene. sbi_04891-sbi_04892 Application in increasing the production of macrolide antibiotics by Streptomyces. Background Technology

[0002] Macrolide antibiotics are a class of biologically important secondary metabolites produced by Streptomyces. Many of them have been successfully developed into biopesticides and produced on a large scale industrially, with typical examples including milbemycin and nemadectin. However, the continuous increase in antibiotic fermentation yield per unit area leads to a large accumulation of the product within the bacterial cell. This accumulation effect severely restricts the normal growth and metabolism of the strain and limits further yield increases. Studies have shown that excessive accumulation of end products within the cell can have a negative feedback inhibitory effect on the strain's own biosynthetic pathway, thereby inhibiting the continued synthesis of antibiotics. In particular, when Streptomyces fermentation enters the stationary phase, the rate of antibiotic synthesis increases significantly, and the feedback inhibition caused by end product accumulation is particularly prominent at this time, becoming one of the key bottlenecks restricting the increase of antibiotic yield.

[0003] Efflux proteins are transport proteins located on the cell membrane that actively pump intracellular metabolites out of the cell, playing a crucial role in maintaining the dynamic balance of intracellular and extracellular substances. For antibiotic-producing bacteria, the pumping efficiency of efflux proteins directly affects the control of intracellular product concentration, thus influencing the utilization efficiency of precursor substances and the synthesis rate of the final product. Besides product secretion, enhancing the efflux of target products also helps reduce the difficulty of antibiotic isolation and extraction, simplifying downstream purification processes.

[0004] Current metabolic engineering modifications aimed at increasing antibiotic yield in Streptomyces mainly focus on optimizing biosynthetic pathways, modifying regulatory genes, and enhancing precursor supply, such as knocking out negative regulators or overexpressing positive regulators to increase antibiotic production. In contrast, the discovery of efflux genes and their application in constructing high-yielding antibiotic strains remains relatively limited. In particular, the systematic screening and identification of efflux genes targeting specific macrolide antibiotics in Streptomyces is insufficient. There is an urgent need to develop more efficient efflux gene resources to adapt and enhance antibiotic efflux pathways, providing new strategic support for further increasing the unit yield of industrial strains.
