Clavulanic acid (CA) is a clinically important secondary metabolite used to treat infectious diseases. We aimed to decipher complex regulatory mechanisms acting in CA biosynthesis by analyzing transcriptome- and proteome-wide alterations in an industrial CA overproducer Streptomyces clavuligerus strain, namely DEPA and its wild-type counterpart NRRL3585. A total of 924 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 271 differentially produced proteins (DPPs) were obtained by RNA-seq and nanoLC-MS/MS analyses, respectively. In particular, CA biosynthetic genes, namely, car (cad), cast, oat2, pah, bls, ceas2, orf12, and claR, a cluster situated regulatory (CSR) gene, were significantly upregulated as shown by RNA-seq. Enzymes of clavam biosynthesis were downregulated considerably in the DEPA strain, while the genes involved in the arginine biosynthesis, one of the precursors of CA pathway, were overexpressed. However, the biosynthesis of the other CA precursor, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), was not affected. CA overproduction in the DEPA strain was correlated with BldD, BldG, BldM, and BldN (AdsA) overrepresentation. In addition, TetR, WhiB, and Xre family transcriptional regulators were shown to be significantly overrepresented. Several uncharacterized/unknown proteins differentially expressed in the DEPA strain await further studies for functional characterization. Correlation analysis indicated an acceptable degree of consistency between the transcriptome and proteome data. The study represents the first integrative-omics analysis in a CA overproducer S. clavuligerus strain, providing insights into the critical control points and potential rational engineering targets for a purposeful increase of CA yields in strain improvement.

Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics, including cephamycin C (CC) and potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid (CA). In this study, comparative transcriptome analysis between an industrial stain, namely DEPA (CA overproducer strain which was developed by several rounds of classical random mutagenesis), and a reference strain NRLL3585 was performed by using the genome-wide RNA-seq technique. Our aim was to understand and improve the knowledge about the...
Quantitative expression analysis of the genes potentially involved in clavulanic acid overproduction in streptomyces clavuligerus

Streptomyces clavuligerus is the producer of the medically important β-lactam antibiotics, including cephamycin C (CC) and the potent β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanic acid. (CA). We have already undertaken an extensive comparative proteomic analysis by using both 2-DE-MALDI-MS and GeLC-MS approaches between an industrial CA overproducer, namely DEPA and the reference strain NRRL3585. In this context, we documented several differentially expressed (over- and under-represented) proteins accounting for high CA...
Characterization and genomic analysis of a novel bacteriophage against methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus
Çotak, Medine; Akkaya, Mahinur S.; Karahan, Zeynep Ceren; Department of Biotechnology (2019)
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is one of the most frequent hospital and community acquired infectious agents causing severe diseases. Bacteriophages may offer a solution to treat the bacterial infections that are not responding to classical antibiotics. In this context, a new lytic phage, named as vB_SauM-MikSA913, was isolated from sewage treatment center in Samsun (Turkey). MRSA clinical strains obtained from a local hospital were used as propagating hosts while searching for the lytic...
Investigation Of The Structure Of Celecoxib Molecule And Its Interaction With Cox-2 By Quantum Mechanical Methods Using Model Systems
Kıran, Aleyna Dilan; Selçuki , Cenk (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi Enformatik Enstitüsü; 2022-10)
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) inhibit the eventual conversion of COXs to metabolites of arachidonic acid, including prostaglandins, prostacyclin, and thromboxanes, in the immune response after injury or infection. Selective COX-2 inhibitors (coxibs), a subset of NSAIDs, act specifically on the COX-2 enzyme. One of the coxibs, celecoxib, is marketed under the brand name Celebrex. Celebrex is a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug that exhibits anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic acti...
The contribution of kinetoplast DNA to Leishmania major experimental infection and evaluation of Leishmania extracellular vesicle based vaccine against cutaneous Leishmaniasis in BALB/C mice
Ayanoğlu, İhsan Cihan; Gürsel, Mayda; Department of Biology (2019)
Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) is a neglected vector borne parasitic infection that manifests as self-healing skin lesions or cause debilitating large chronic or recurring lesions. CL is endemic in Turkey and its incidence rate is on the rise due to immigration of refugees from affected regions. Leishmania parasites harbor a unique mitochondrial DNA structure called kinetoplast DNA (kDNA), consisting of giant networks of catenated mini and maxi-circles. The role of kDNA in infection is poorly understood. In t...
