Chlortetracycline (CTC) is an important member from antibiotics tetracycline (TC) family, which inhibits protein synthesis in bacteria and is widely involved in clinical therapy, animal feeds and aquaculture. Previous works have reported intricately the biosynthesis of CTC from the intermediates in random mutants ofStreptomyces aureofaciensand the crucial chlorination remained unclear. We have developed the genetic manipulation in an industrial producer, in which about 15.0 g/l CTC predominated along with 1.2 g/l TC, and discovered that chlorination byctcP(an FADH2-dependent halogenase gene) is the last inefficient step during CTC biosynthesis. Firstly, the ΔctcPstrain accumulated about 18.9 g/l “clean” TC without KBr addition and abolished the production of CTC. Subsequently, CtcP was identified to exhibit a substrate stereo-specificity to absolute TC (4S) rather than TC (4R), with lowkcatof 0.51±0.01 min−1, while it could halogenate several TC analogs. Accordingly, we devised a strategy for overexpression ofctcPinS. aureofaciensand improved CTC production to a final titer of 25.9 g/l. We anticipate that our work will provide a biotechnological potential of enzymatic evolution and strain engineering towards new TC derivatives in microorganisms.
