Genome sequencing analysis has revealed at least 35 clusters of likely biosynthetic genes for secondary metabolites in Streptomyces ansochromogenes. Disruption of adpA encoding a global regulator (AdpA) resulted in the failure of nikkomycin production, whereas other antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, and Bacillus subtilis were observed with the fermentation broth of ΔadpA but not with that of the wild-type strain. Transcriptional analysis showed that a cryptic gene cluster (pks7), which shows high identity with an oviedomycin biosynthetic gene cluster (ovm), was activated in ΔadpA. The corresponding product of pks7 was characterized as oviedomycin by MS and NMR spectroscopy. To understand the molecular mechanism of ovm activation, the roles of six regulatory genes situated in the ovm cluster were investigated. Among them, proteins encoded by co-transcribed genes ovmZ and ovmW are positive regulators of ovm. AdpA directly represses the transcription of ovmZ and ovmW. Co-overexpression of ovmZ and ovmW can relieve the repression of AdpA on ovm transcription and effectively activate oviedomycin biosynthesis. The promoter of ovmOI–ovmH is identified as the direct target of OvmZ and OvmW. This is the first report that AdpA can simultaneously activate nikkomycin biosynthesis but repress oviedomycin biosynthesis in one strain. Our findings provide an effective strategy that is able to activate cryptic secondary metabolite gene clusters by genetic manipulation of global regulatory genes.
