Regulation of daunorubicin biosynthesis inStreptomyces peucetius -feed forward and feedback transcriptional control

Abstract: Streptomyces are a major group of soil bacteria that produce wide range of bioactive compounds including antibiotics. Daunorubicin is a chemotherapeutic agent for treatment of certain types of cancer, which is produced as a secondary metabolite by S. peucetius. Owing to the significance of this drug in treating cancer, understanding the molecular mechanism of its biosynthesis will assist in the genetic manipulation of this strain for better drug yields. Additionally, the knowledge can also be applied to design… Show more

“…7 Anthracyclines are derived from Streptomyces bacterium and are among the most effective anticancer drugs to date. 8 Commonly used anthracyclines include doxorubicin, mitoxantrone, epirubicin, idarubicin, and daunorubicin. Anthracyclines exhibit anti-neoplastic properties by 4 main mechanisms.…”

“…Polyketides represent an important class of compounds that are extremely diverse in structure and function. Natural screening strategies have brought more than 20 drugs to market, including the immunosuppressants FK506 and rapamycin (Park et al ., ; Goranovic et al ., ); hypocholesterolemics, such as lovastatin (Ma & Tang, ); anticancer agents, such as doxorubicin (Vasanthakumar et al ., ); and a host of antimicrobials, including tetracycline and erythromycin (Weissman & Leadlay, ; Lesnik et al ., ). Furthermore, it is predicted that more than 1% of polyketides described have potential drug activity (Koskinen & Karisalmi, ), and as a result of this, polyketides have received tremendous attention in efforts to unearth new compounds with bioactive properties.…”

“…Streptomyces are Gram-positive bacteria that can produce high amounts of secondary metabolites, such as antibiotics (e.g., pristinamycin [1] and daptomycin [2]), immunosuppressants (e.g., rapamycin [3] and FK506 [4]), insecticides (e.g., avermectin [5] and milbemycin [6]) and anti-tumor drugs (e.g., daunorubicin [7] and bleomycin [8]), which are widely used in agriculture and veterinary/human medicine. In the last few decades, the traditional strategy for the discovery of novel natural products (NPs) with medicinal properties has not been effective, which is mainly due to the repeated rediscovery of known chemical compounds [9].…”
