metK is the S-adenosylmethionine synthetase gene from Streptomyces avermitilis, which was found to stimulate the production of avermectins. When wild-type strain ATCC31267 was transformed with pYJ02 and pYJ03, two metK expression plasmids, avermectin production was increased about 2.0-fold and 5.5-fold compared with that in the control strains, respectively. The avermectin productivity of each culture was quantitatively measured by HPLC analysis.

As the kinetic study revealed, avermectin overproduction in recombinant strain was not caused by the change of cell growth rate or copy number effect. Instead, metK stimulates the avermectin production by increasing the intracellular concentration of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), an important intermediate product in avermectin production. However, there may be a maximum concentration of SAM for the production of avermectin in S. avermitilis, over which it has no any effect on the antibiotic production.

The results of experiments showed that there were different effects of metK expression levels on avermectin production in various S. avermitilis strains. The gene expression levels of metK in two engineered strain, GB-165 and 76-05, were much higher then those in wild-type strain, whereas the avermectin productivity in these two strains were not significantly improved. It probably because the high expression level of metK limited the increasement of avermectin by overexpression of metK.

The ermE promoter region contains two different promoters, ermEp1 and ermEp2. It was reported that a TGG deletion in the 35 region of the ermEp1 promoter resulted in a stronger variant called ermE* (ermEp2 and ermEp1 ΔTGG). The promoter strength was indirectly assessed according to the enzymatic activity of the reporter protein GUS. The ermE and ermE* promoters were approximately 1.8 times stronger than the ermEp1 and ermEp1* promoters. However, no significant difference was detected between the strengths of the native ermE promoter and its variant ermE* or between the ermEp1 and the ermEp1* promoter.

ermEp (a strong constitutive promoter in S. avermitilis)

ermEp is a strong constitutive promoter in various S. avermitilis strains. It should be noticed that ermEp can only be expressed in S.avermitilis strains instead of Escherichia coli or any other chassis. The ermE promoter was originally characterised by cloning the entire putative promoter region upstream of the ermE gene of Saccharopolyspora erythraea in front of a kanamycin resistance gene (neo) in a replicative vector in Streptomyces lividans TK24.

The ermE promoter region contains two different promoters, ermEp1 and ermEp2. It was reported that a TGG deletion in the 35 region of the ermEp1 promoter resulted in a stronger variant called ermE* (ermEp2 and ermEp1 ΔTGG). The promoter strength was indirectly assessed according to the enzymatic activity of the reporter protein GUS. The ermE and ermE* promoters were approximately 1.8 times stronger than the ermEp1 and ermEp1* promoters. However, no significant difference was detected between the strengths of the native ermE promoter and its variant ermE* or between the ermEp1 and the ermEp1* promoter.
