ABSTRACT
Streptomyces produces diverse secondary metabolites of biopharmaceutical importance, yet the rate of biosynthesis of these metabolites is often hampered by complex transcriptional regulation. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of transcriptional regulation in Streptomyces is key to fully harness its genetic potential. Here, independent component analysis (ICA) of 454 high-quality gene expression profiles of the model species Streptomyces coelicolor is performed, of which 249 profiles are newly generated for S. coelicolor cultivated on 20 different carbon sources and 64 engineered strains with overexpressed sigma factors. ICA of the transcriptome dataset reveals 117 independently modulated groups of genes (iModulons), which account for 81.6% of the variance in the dataset. The genes in each iModulon are involved in specific cellular responses, which are often transcriptionally controlled by specific regulators. Also, iModulons accurately predict 25 secondary metabolite biosynthetic gene clusters encoded in the genome. This systemic analysis leads to reveal the functions of previously uncharacterized genes, putative regulons for 40 transcriptional regulators, including 30 sigma factors, and regulation of secondary metabolism via phosphate- and iron-dependent mechanisms in S. coelicolor. ICA of large transcriptomic datasets thus enlightens a new and fundamental understanding of transcriptional regulation of secondary metabolite synthesis along with interconnected metabolic processes in Streptomyces.
