The homologous transcriptional regulators ScbR and ScbR2 have previously been identified as γ-butyrolactone (GBL) and antibiotic receptors, respectively. They regulate diverse physiological processes in Streptomyces coelicolor in response to GBL and antibiotic signals. In this study, ScbR and ScbR2 proteins were shown to interact using a bacterial two-hybrid system where adenylate cyclase activity was reconstituted in Escherichia coli BTH101. These ScbR/ScbR2 interactions in S. coelicolor were then demonstrated by co-immunoprecipitation. The ScbR/ScbR2 heterodimer was shown to co-exist with their ScbR and ScbR2 respective homodimers. When potential operator targets in S. coelicolor were investigated, the heterodimer was found to bind in the promoter region of sco5158, which however was not a target for ScbR or ScbR2 homodimers. These results revealed a new mechanism of regulation by ScbR and ScbR2 in S. coelicolor.

In model organism Streptomyces coelicolor, γ-butyrolactones (GBLs) and antibiotics were recognized as signalling molecules playing fundamental roles in intra- and interspecies communications. To dissect the GBL and antibiotic signalling networks systematically, the in vivo targets of their respective receptors ScbR and ScbR2 were identified on a genome scale by ChIP-seq. These identified targets encompass many that are known to play important roles in diverse cellular processes (e.

The angucycline antibiotic jadomycin B (JdB) produced by Streptomyces venezuelae has been found here to induce complex survival responses in Streptomyces coelicolor at subinhibitory concentration. The receptor for JdB was identified as a "pseudo" gamma-butyrolactone receptor, ScbR2, which was shown to bind two previously unidentified target promoters, those of redD (redDp) and adpA (adpAp), thus directly regulating undecylprodigiosin (Red) production and morphological differentiation, respectively. Because AdpA also directly regulates the expression of redD, ScbR2, AdpA, and RedD together form a feed-forward loop controlling both differentiation and Red production phenotypes.

Well-characterized promoters are essential tools for metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. In Streptomyces coelicolor, the native kasOp is a temporally expressed promoter strictly controlled by two regulators, ScbR and ScbR2. In this work, first, kasOp was engineered to remove a common binding site of ScbR and ScbR2 upstream of its core region, thus generating a stronger promoter, kasOp3.
