  • Title: Feedback regulation and the intracellular protein profile of Streptomyces griseus in a cycloheximide fermentation.
    Author: Dykstra KH, Wang HY.
    Journal: Appl Microbiol Biotechnol; 1990 Nov; 34(2):191-7. PubMed ID: 1367499.
    Abstract:
    Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-D PAGE) was used to study the intracellular protein profile of Streptomyces griseus in relation to cycloheximide (CH) biosynthesis. Four proteins (CR1-CR4) were found to be significantly and specifically repressed by addition of the antibiotic (1 g/l at 72 h) to a producing fermentation. Synthesis of these proteins was specific to the idiophase, concurrent with CH production. Initial addition of CH to the production medium resulted in slightly lower synthesis rates of two of the proteins (CR1 and CR2), while significantly delaying the onset of synthesis of the other two (CR3 and CR4). Finally, neutral polymeric resin was added to the fermentation to alleviate feedback regulation of CH synthesis, giving roughly a twofold increase in the antibiotic production rate. Production of proteins CR3 and CR4 was increased approximately tenfold immediately following resin addition, but returned to the control rate of synthesis after 24 h.
