Ansamycins is a group of type I polyketides characterized by the unique starter unit 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid. This family of secondary metabolites shows diverse biological activities, well-known members of which include rifamycin, geldanamycin, and maytansine. Previously, we isolated an AHBA synthase gene-positive strainStreptomycessp. XZQH13 containing a “silent” ansamycin biosynthetic gene clusterast. The constitutive expression of the Large-ATP-binding regulators of the LuxR family regulator geneastG1located within the cluster triggered the expression of the biosynthetic genes. Reverse transcription-PCR experiments showed that the expression of the key biosynthetic genes,astB4,astD1, andastF1, was induced in theastG1overexpression mutant compared to the wild type. This led to the isolation of two known ansatrienins, hydroxymycotrienin A (1) and thiazinotrienomycin G (2), which were identified by analysis of the mass spectral and NMR spectral data, from the mutant. These observations suggest thatastG1is probably a pathway-specific positive regulator for the biosynthesis of ansatrienin.
