Two-component systems (TCSs), which are typically situated in the same operon and are composed of a histidine kinase and a response regulator, are the predominant signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of secondary metabolism in\n            <jats:italic>Streptomyces<\/jats:italic>\n            . Here, an atypical TCS, AtcR\/AtcK, in which the encoding genes (sbi_06838\/sbi_06839) are organized in a head-to-head pair, was demonstrated to be indispensable for the biosynthesis of multiple secondary metabolites in\n            <jats:italic>S. bingchenggensis<\/jats:italic>\n            . With the null TCS mutants, the production of milbemycin and yellow compound was abolished but nanchangmycin was overproduced. Transcriptional analysis and electrophoretic mobility shift assays showed that AtcR regulated the biosynthesis of these three secondary metabolites by a MilR3-mediated cascade. First, AtcR was activated by phosphorylation from signal-triggered AtcK. Second, the activated AtcR promoted the transcription of\n            <jats:italic>milR3<\/jats:italic>\n            . Third, MilR3 specifically activated the transcription of downstream genes from milbemycin and yellow compound biosynthetic gene clusters (BGCs) and\n            <jats:italic>nanR4<\/jats:italic>\n            from the nanchangmycin BGC. Finally, because NanR4 is a specific repressor in the nanchangmycin BGC, activation of MilR3 downstream genes led to the production of yellow compound and milbemycin but inhibited nanchangmycin production. By rewiring the regulatory cascade, two strains were obtained, the yield of nanchangmycin was improved by 45-fold to 6.08 g\/L and the production of milbemycin was increased twofold to 1.34 g\/L. This work has broadened our knowledge on atypical TCSs and provided practical strategies to engineer strains for the production of secondary metabolites in\n            <jats:italic>Streptomyces<\/jats:italic>\n            .\n          <\/jats:p>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>IMPORTANCE<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>\n              <jats:italic>Streptomyces bingchenggensis<\/jats:italic>\n              is an important industrial strain that produces milbemycins. Two-component systems (TCSs), which consist of a histidine kinase and a response regulator, are the predominant signal transduction pathways involved in the regulation of secondary metabolism in\n              <jats:italic>Streptomyces<\/jats:italic>\n              . Coupled encoding genes of TCSs are typically situated in the same operon. Here, TCSs with encoding genes situated in separate head-to-head neighbor operons were labeled atypical TCSs. It was found that the atypical TCS AtcR\/AtcK played an indispensable role in the biosynthesis of milbemycin, yellow compound, and nanchangmycin in\n              <jats:italic>S. bingchenggensis<\/jats:italic>\n              . This atypical TCS regulated the biosynthesis of specialized metabolites in a cascade mediated\n              <jats:italic>via<\/jats:italic>\n              a cluster-situated regulator, MilR3. Through rewiring the regulatory pathways, strains were successfully engineered to overproduce milbemycin and nanchangmycin. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report on atypical TCS, in which the encoding genes of RR and HK were situated in separate head-to-head neighbor operons, involved in secondary metabolism. In addition, data mining showed that atypical TCSs were widely distributed in actinobacteria.\n            <\/jats:p>\n
