Background:Erythromycin A (Er-A) produced by the actinomyceteSaccharopolyspora erythraeais an important antibiotic extensively used in human medicine. Dissecting of transcriptional regulators and their target genes associated with erythromycin biosynthesis is crucial to obtain erythromycin overproducer strains through engineering of relevant regulatory elements inS. erythraea.Results:Here, we identified a TetR family transcriptional regulator (TFR), SACE_5754, negatively controlling erythromycin production. SACE_5754 indirectly repressed the transcription oferycluster and cannot regulate itself and its adjacent geneSACE_5753. RNA-seq coupled with EMSAs and qRT-PCR was performed to identify the targets of SACE_5754, and confirmed that transcription ofSACE_0388(encoding a pyruvate, water diknase),SACE_3599(encoding an antibiotic resistance macrolide glycosyltransferase) andSACE_6149(encoding a FAD-binding monooxygenase) were directly repressed by SACE_5754. A consensus palindromic sequence TYMAGG-n2/n4/n11-KKTKRA (Y: C/T, M: A/C, K: T/G, R: A/G) was proved to be essential for SACE_5754 binding using DNase I footprinting and EMSAs. During the three target genes of SACE_5754,SACE_0388andSACE_6149exhibited the positive effect on erythromycin production. Overexpression of eitherSACE_0388orSACE_6149in ∆SACE_5754further increased the Er-A production. By engineering the industrial strainS. erythraeaWB with deletion ofSACE_5754combined with overexpression of eitherSACE_0388orSACE_6149, Er-A production in WB∆SACE_5754/pIB139-0388 and WB∆SACE_5754/pIB139-6149 was successively increased by 42 and 30% compared to WB. Co-overexpression ofSACE_0388andSACE_6149in WB∆SACE_5754resulted in enhanced Er-A production by 64% relative to WB. In a 5-L fermenter, WB∆SACE_5754/pIB139-0388-6149 produced 4998 mg/L Er-A, a 48% increase over WB.Conclusion:We have identified a TFR, SACE_5754, as a negative regulator of erythromycin biosynthesis, and engineering ofSACE_5754and its target genes,SACE_0388andSACE_6149, resulted in enhanced erythromycin production in both wild-type and industrialS. erythraeastrains. The strategy demonstrated here may be valuable to facilitate the manipulation of transcriptional regulators and their targets for production improvement of antibiotics in industrial actinomycetes.
