Effects of pH shock on the secretion system in Streptomyces coelicolor A3(2).
Effects of pH shock on the secretion system of S. coelicolor A3(2) have been investigated at a transcriptional level by using DNA microarrays. Actinorhodin secretion was observed to be highly enhanced when an acidic-pH shock was applied to surface grown cultures of S. coelicolor A3(2). In this culture, a gene of actVA-orf1 encoding a putative efflux pump or transporter protein for actinorhodin was strongly upregulated. A major number of efflux pumps for other metabolites and a major number of secretion proteins for protein secretion were also observed to be upregulated with pH shock. The secretion of actinorhodin was observed to be remarkably enhanced in liquid culture as well.
