Carbomycins are 16-membered macrolide antibiotics produced by Streptomyces thermotolerans ATCC 11416. To characterize gene cluster responsible for carbomycin biosynthesis, the draft genome sequences for strain ATCC 11416 were obtained, from which the partial carbomycin biosynthetic gene cluster was identified. This gene cluster was approximately 40 kb in length, and encoding 30 ORFs. Two putative transcriptional regulatory genes, acyB2 and cbmR, were inactivated by insertion of the apramycin resistance gene, and the resulting mutants were unable to produce carbomycin, thus confirming the involvement of two regulatory genes in carbomycin biosynthesis. Overexpression of acyB2 greatly improved the yield of carbomycin; however, overexpression of cbmR blocked carbomycin production. The qPCR analysis of the carbomycin biosynthetic genes in various mutants indicated that most genes were highly expressed in acyB2-overexpressing strains, but few expressed in cbmR-overexpressing strains. Furthermore, acyB2 co-expression with 4″-isovaleryltransferase gene (ist), resulted in efficient biotransformation of spiramycin into bitespiramycin in S. lividans TK24, whereas ist gene regulated by acyB2 and cbmR would cause the lower efficiency of spiramycin biotransformation. These results indicated that AcyB2 was a pathway-specific positive regulator of carbomycin biosynthesis. However, CbmR played a dual role in the carbomycin biosynthesis by acting as a positive regulator, and as a repressor at cbmR high expression levels.

The most important tools in killing and overcoming on the microbes and pathogens that cause diseases in medicine and/or in agriculture are the antibiotics. The discovery and synthesis of the microbial natural products or antibiotics has greatly developed genetically and biotechnologically quickly in the last decades. It is necessary to access this great genetic diversity by finding ways to increase the level of expression of these biosynthetic pathways.

Bitespiramycin, a group of 4''-O-acylated spiramycins with 4''-O-isovalerylspiramycins as the major components, is produced by recombinant spiramycin-producing strain Streptomyces spiramyceticus harboring a 4''-O-acyltransferase gene from a carbomycin-producing strain S. mycarofaciens 1748. The effects of leucine feeding on the bitespiramycin fermentation, especially the synthesis of isovalerylspiramycin components, were investigated.

Spiramycin (SP) belongs to the 16-member macrolide antibiotics. It contains three components,namely SP I, SP II and SP III, which differ structurally in the acylation moieties on the C3 of the lactone. The SP I component contains a hydroxyl group at C3.

Members of the macrolide class of antibiotics inhibit peptide elongation on the ribosome by binding close to the peptidyltransferase center and blocking the peptide exit tunnel in the large ribosomal subunit. We have studied the modes of action of the macrolides josamycin, with a 16-membered lactone ring, and erythromycin, with a 14-membered lactone ring, in a cell-free mRNA translation system with pure components from Escherichia coli. We have found that the average lifetime on the ribosome is 3 h for josamycin and less than 2 min for erythromycin and that the dissociation constants for josamycin and erythromycin binding to the ribosome are 5.
