Abstract

An homologue () and three -butyrolactone receptor gene homologues (, and ) are coded on the giant linear plasmid pSLA2-L in 7434AN4, a producer of two polyketide antibiotics, lankacidin and lankamycin. Construction of gene disruptants and their phenotypic study revealed that and make a -butyrolactone receptor system in this strain. Addition of a -butyrolactone fraction to an -deficient mutant restored the production of lankacidin and lankamycin, indicating that the SrrX protein is not necessary for this event. In addition to a positive effect on antibiotic production, showed a negative effect on morphological differentiation. The receptor gene reversed both effects of , while the second receptor gene homologue had only a positive function in spore formation. Furthermore, disruption of the third homologue greatly increased the production of lankacidin and lankamycin. Electron microscopic analysis showed that aerial mycelium formation stopped at a different stage in the and mutants. Overall, these results indicated that , , and constitute a complex regulatory system for antibiotic production and morphological differentiation in .
