Article Abstract
Avermectin and its analogs are major commercial antiparasitic agents in the fields of animal health, agriculture, and human infections. To increase our understanding about the genetic mechanism underlying avermectin overproduction, comparative transcriptomes were analyzed between the low producer S. avermitilis ATCC31267 and the high producer S. avermitilis ATCC31780 via a S. avermitilis whole genome chip. The comparative transcriptome analysis revealed that fifty S. avermitilis genes were expressed at least two-fold higher in S. avermitilis ATCC31780. In particular, all the avermectin biosynthetic genes, including polyketide synthase (PKS) genes and an avermectin pathway-specific regulatory gene, were less expressed in the%low producer S. avermitilis ATCC31267. The present results imply that avermectin overproduction in S. avermitilis ATCC31780 could be attributed to the previously unidentified fifty genes reported here and increased transcription levels of avermectin PKS genes.

Avermectins (AVEs), a family of macrocyclic polyketides produced by Streptomyces avermitilis, have eight components, among which B1a is noted for its strong insecticidal activity. Biosynthesis of AVE "a" components requires 2-methylbutyryl-CoA (MBCoA) as starter unit, and malonyl-CoA (MalCoA) and methylmalonyl-CoA (MMCoA) as extender units. We describe here a novel strategy for increasing B1a production by enhancing acyl-CoA precursor supply.

Streptomyces species have a complex life cycle and are the producers of ~70% of commercial antibiotics. Global regulators AfsR and AfsS are widespread among Streptomyces and have been identified as key activators of antibiotic production in several species. However, their roles as repressors of antibiotic production are unclear; in particular, nothing is known regarding the regulatory mechanism of AfsS, despite many decades of research, because it has no DNA-binding domain.

Purpose: Doramectin (DRM) is a kind of avermectin drugs, and it has been shown that DRM has anti-cancer effects. However, the molecular mechanism of DRM in programmed cell death (PCD) aspects is still unclear. The objective of this study was to confirm whether DRM induced PCD in glioma cells.

can produce a wealth of pharmaceutically valuable antibiotics and other bioactive compounds. Production of most antibiotics is generally low due to the rigorously controlled regulatory networks, in which global/pleiotropic and cluster-situated regulatory proteins coordinate with various intra- and extracellular signals. Thus, mining new antibiotic regulatory proteins, particularly the ones that are widespread, is essential for understanding the regulation of antibiotic biosynthesis.

The heat shock response (HSR) is a universal cellular response that promotes survival following temperature increase. In filamentous , which accounts for ∼70% of commercial antibiotic production, HSR is regulated by transcriptional repressors; in particular, the widespread MerR-family regulator HspR has been identified as a key repressor. However, functions of HspR in other biological processes are unknown.
