Regulatory mechanisms that control chromosome segregation in Streptomyces coelicolor
Streptomyces is the largest genus within the phylum Actinobacteria. These filamentous gram- positive bacteria are best known as producers of various secondary metabolites, including more than two-thirds of the natural antibiotics used in medicine, biotehnology and agriculture. Streptomyces have a very complex life cycle that begins with spore germination and the formation of vegetative mycelium from which grow areal hyphae that eventually differentiate into long chains of spores. Currently our research group is investigating the functions, interactions and temporal expression of genes important for DNA metabolism and chromosome segregation during the reproductive phase of Streptomyces coelicolor model organism for Streptomyces genus. This bacterium contains a linear chromosome with a large number of functional genes (7825). Although the cell division mechanisms are similar to those found in rod‐shaped bacterium such as Escherichia coli, many aspects that control cell division and its coordination with chromosome segregation are remarkably different. We have identified paralogous single stranded DNA-binding protein (SsbB) as one of key players in chromosome segregation during sporulation in Streptomyces coelicolor [1].To get a better insight into its biological role we have investigated other proteins, such as SMC and ParAB that have been identified to contribute to chromosome organization and distribution during Streptomyces sporulation. Our present results indicate how these proteins participate in different cellular mechanisms that control chromosome segregation. Next, we focused on studying segregation and condensation protein (ScpA). This protein is an interested candidate whose role in chromosome segregation is still not well described [2]. Using different molecular methods, our goal was to investigate whether ScpA and SsbB participate in the same regulatory pathway that controls chromosome segregation in the presporogenic compartment. The result of our ongoing project will be presented and discussed.
