A link between primary and secondary metabolism: malonyl-CoA formation in Streptomyces ambofaciens growing on ammonium ions or valine

Abstract: Growth of Streptomyces ambofaciens in the presence of valine led to a greater production of spiramycin and excretion of short-chain fatty acids compared with growth on ammonium ions as nitrogen source. We determined the activities of enzymes that lead to the formation of malonyl-CoA, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of spiramycin. In valine-grown cultures, the activities of acetyl-CoA carboxylase and pyruvate dehydrogenase were increased during the antibiotic production phase. During this idiOphaSe, oxal… Show more

“…This is consistent with a drain of acetylCoA (an intermediate in methylenomycin synthesis) from the Embden Meyerhoff Parnas pathway. Similar observations were made with respect to the synthesis of spiramycin by S. ambofaciens, in which pyruvate is drained from the Embden Meyerhoff Parnas pathway to yield, in that case, malonyl-CoA (Laakel et al, 1994). The flux analysis of S. coelicolor presented by Naeimpoor and Mavituna (2000) cannot be readily compared to the results presented here.…”

“…Three sugars, mycaminose, forosamine and mycarose, are linked to the lactone ring to form the macrolide [7]. Improvement of spiramycin production [8] and its regulation by phosphate [9,10], carbon [11][12][13] and nitrogen sources [14][15][16][17][18] has been investigated as well as genetic aspects [19][20][21].…”

“…Attempts to purify a complex with acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity from streptomycetes have been unsuccessful, probably reflecting its high instability in vitro (7). An alternative pathway for the biosynthesis of malonyl-CoA was described in Streptomyces aureofaciens (2,25) and involved the anaplerotic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and oxaloacetate dehydrogenase. However, oxaloacetate dehydrogenase could not be detected in S. coelicolor A3(2) (6), where malonyl-CoA synthesis appears to occur exclusively through the acetyl-CoA carboxylase complex.…”
