摘要: Lysobacter enzymogenes is a ubiquitous soil gammaproteobacterium that produces a broad-spectrum antifungal antibiotic, known as heat-stable antifungal factor (HSAF). To increase HSAF production for use against fungal crop diseases, it is important to understand how HSAF synthesis is regulated. To gain insights into transcriptional regulation of the HSAF synthesis gene cluster, we generated a library with deletion mutations in the genes predicted to encode response regulators of the two-component signaling systems in L. enzymogenes strain OH11. By quantifying HSAF production levels in the 45 constructed mutants, we identified two strains that produced significantly smaller amounts of HSAF. One of the mutations affected a gene encoding a conserved bacterial response regulator, PilR, which is commonly associated with type IV pilus synthesis. We determined that L. enzymogenes PilR regulates pilus synthesis and twitching motility via a traditional pathway, by binding to the pilA promoter and upregulating pilA expression. Regulation of HSAF production by PilR was found to be independent of pilus formation. We discovered that the pilR mutant contained significantly higher intracellular levels of the second messenger cyclic di-GMP (c-di-GMP) and that this was the inhibitory signal for HSAF production. Therefore, the type IV pilus regulator PilR in L. enzymogenes activates twitching motility while downregulating antibiotic HSAF production by increasing intracellular c-di-GMP levels. This study identifies a new role of a common pilus regulator in proteobacteria and provides guidance for increasing antifungal antibiotic production in L. enzymogenes.
