SRBs are synthesized by SRB synthase SrrX, and induce lankacidin and lankamycin production at 40 nM concentration. We here investigated the role of a P450 monooxygenase gene srrO (orf84), which is located adjacent to srrX (orf85), in SRB biosynthesis. An srrO mutant KA54 accumulated lankacidin and lankamycin at a normal level when compared with the parent strain. To elucidate the chemical structures of the signaling molecules accumulated in KA54 (termed as KA54-SRBs), this mutant was cultured (30 L) and the active components were purified. Two active components (KA54-SRB1 and KA54-SRB2) were detected in ESI-MS and chiral HPLC analysis. The molecular formulae for KA54-SRB1 and KA54-SRB2 are C15H26O4 and C16H28O4, whose values are one oxygen smaller and two hydrogen larger when compared with those for SRB1 and SRB2, respectively. Based on extensive NMR analysis, the signaling molecules in KA54 were determined to be 6\u2032-deoxo-SRB1 and 6\u2032-deoxo-SRB2. Gel shift analysis indicated that a ligand affinity of 6\u2032-deoxo-SRB1 to the specific receptor SrrA was 100-fold less than that of SRB1. We performed bioconversion of the synthetic 6\u2032-deoxo-SRB1 in the Streptomyces lividans recombinant carrying SrrO-expression plasmid. Substrate 6\u2032-deoxo-SRB1 was converted through 6\u2032-deoxo-6\u2032-hydroxy-SRB1 to SRB1 in a time-dependent manner. Thus, these results clearly indicated that SrrO catalyzes the C-6\u2032 oxidation at a final step in SRB biosynthesis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/biom10091237","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,25]],"date-time":"2020-08-25T09:30:07Z","timestamp":1598347807000},"page":"1237","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Functional Analysis of P450 Monooxygenase SrrO in the Biosynthesis of Butenolide-Type Signaling Molecules in Streptomyces rochei"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"given":"Aiko","family":"Teshima","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biotechnology, Graduate School of Advanced Sciences of Matter, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8530, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nozomi","family":"Hadae","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biotechnology, Graduate School of Advanced Sciences of Matter, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8530, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Naoto","family":"Tsuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biotechnology, Graduate School of Advanced Sciences of Matter, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8530, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5129-0042","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kenji","family":"Arakawa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Biotechnology, Graduate School of Advanced Sciences of Matter, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8530, Japan"},{"name":"Unit of Biotechnology, Graduate School of Integrated Sciences for Life, Hiroshima University, 1-3-1 Kagamiyama, Higashi-Hiroshima, Hiroshima 739-8530, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,8,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"208","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mib.2005.02.016","article-title":"Regulation of secondary metabolism in streptomycetes","volume":"8","author":"Bibb","year":"2005","journal-title":"Curr.
