PG - 165-71 AB - Enoyl reductase (ER) domains in module 5 of nystatin and amphotericin polyketide synthase (PKS) are responsible for reduction of the C28-C29 unsaturated bond on the nascent polyketide chain during biosynthesis of both macrolides, resulting in production of tetraenes nystatin A(1) and amphotericin A, respectively. Data obtained in fermentations under glucose limitation conditions demonstrated that the efficiency of the ER5 domain can be influenced by carbon source availability in the amphotericin producer Streptomyces nodosus, but not in the nystatin producer Streptomyces noursei. Two S. noursei ER5 domain mutants were constructed, GG5073SP and S5016N, both producing the heptaene nystatin analogue S44HP with unsaturated C28-C29 bond. While the GG5073SP mutant, with altered ER5 NADPH binding site, produced S44HP exclusively, the S5016N mutant synthesized a mixture of nystatin and S44HP. Comparative studies on the S5016N S. noursei mutant and S. nodosus, both producing mixtures of tetraenes and heptaenes, revealed that the ratio between these two types of metabolites was significantly more affected by glucose limitation in S. nodosus. These data suggest that mutation S5016N in NysC "locks" the ER5 domain in a state of intermediate activity which, in contrast to the ER5 domain in the amphotericin PKS, is not significantly influenced by physiological conditions.
