RESUMO
Vector systems allowing autonomous or site-specific integrative gene cloning were developed for Micromonospora sp. strain 40027, a producer of the antibiotic fortimicin A. The autonomous system depends on the discovery of a low-copy-number, self-transmissible covalently closed circular plasmid, pJTU112 (ca. 14.1 kb), which was shown to be present in the progenitor strain in both integrated and autonomous states. The copy numbers of both wild-type pJTU112 and three derivatives of it can be amplified at least sixfold by addition of streptomycin to the culture medium. The integrative system was developed by the use of a pBR322-derived Escherichia coli plasmid vector, pSET152, mediated by the attP site of the Streptomyces phage ΦC31. Both vectors can be transferred by conjugation from E. coli into Micromonospora sp. strain 40027. The heterologous cloning and expression of the dnd gene cluster originating from Streptomyces lividans 1326 into Micromonospora sp. strain 40027 demonstrated the use of the two systems.
