Cloning and identification of the lobophorin biosynthetic gene cluster from marine Streptomyces olivaceus strain FXJ7.023

A full length about 105 kb gene cluster containing 35 open reading frames involved in the biosynthesis of lobophorins was cloned and sequenced from a fosmid genomic library of Streptomyces olivaceus strain FXJ7.023. The cluster was identified by genome wide annotation and analysis of secondary metabolite biosynthesis gene clusters by anti SMASH and knockout of loading module-contained region of polyketide skeleton synthesis gene [the starter of lobS1]. Gene cluster comparative analysis suggested that the cluster encoded the complete genes for lobophorin polyketide assembly, modification, substrate catalysis, regulation, transportation and resistance, and shows great identity to the newest reported lobophorin biosynthetic gene cluster from Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 01127, but with a significant gene rearrangement in the PKS modules

Activation and comparative analysis of cryptic xiamycin gene cluster from marine-derived Streptomyces sp. FXJ 7.388

In order to obtain the natural products synthesized by the three putative xiamycin biosynthesis gene clusters which were predicted via antiSMASH during the genome mining of marine Streptomyces sp. FXJ 7.388, Streptomyces sp. FXJ 8.012, and Streptomyces olivaceus FXJ 7.023. Sixteen genes involved in xiamycin assembly, modification, and regulation with higher identity than the newest reported xiamycin biosynthetic gene cluster from marine Streptomyces sp. SCSIO 02999, Streptomyces sp. HKI0576, and Streptomyces sp. FXJ 7.388 were discovered via gene cluster comparative analysis. A ribosome engineering strategy was adopted to activate such cryptic gene clusters with different final concentrations antibiotics that act on the ribosome, and two indolosesquiterpenes were isolated from idlethaldose streptomycin-resistant Streptomyces sp. FXJ 7.388 strains. However, no such product was detected in Streptomyces sp. FXJ 8.012 and Streptomyces olivaceus FXJ 7.023 under the same treatment. This result suggested that these genes might hold the least gene content for xiamycin biosynthesis

Genes expression profile analysis of colorectal cancer cells derived from colo205 / 实用医学杂志

Objective To obtain differential expression genes from colorectal cancer cells derived from colo205 for further research. Methods RNA from colo205 cells,CD133+cells and CD133-cells were sequenced and analyzed by bioinformatics software. Results One hundred and twenty four differential expression genes were obtained, which involves 32 metabolic pathways. Conclusions Large quantities of differential genes can be found among different groups of cells derived from colo205 cells , which can provide epigenetic evidence for colorectal cancer research.
