摘要

气囊（Gas Vesicles）是一类由蛋白质构成的刚性中空细胞器，常见于水生微生物，由其基因组内完整的气囊合成基因簇编码组装而成。值得注意的是，同源的气囊基因簇也广泛分布于土壤链霉菌中，但其生理功能尚未明确。本研究克隆出来自链霉菌

Streptomyces

sp. CB03234 的气囊基因簇

gvpOAFGJLSK

（

gvp3234

，3.4 kb），并通过接合转移技术将其导入模式链霉菌

Streptomyces albus

J1074 中。透射电子显微镜（TEM）观察未在重组菌株中检测到典型气囊结构，但发现异源表达

gvp3234

能显著促进宿主菌的早期生长，并引发代谢组的广泛重编程。非靶向代谢组学分析表明，重组菌株中有170种代谢物的积累水平显著上调。通过与数据库比对，确认了包括2-氨基苯甲酸、Albaflavenone在内的多种已知活性物质的产量大幅提高，并鉴定出22种被激活的未知代谢物。此外，在另一株链霉菌

Streptomyces venezuelae

ISP5230 中异源表达

gvp3234

，同样观察到了代谢组的显著变化及沉默代谢途径的激活。研究进一步发现，异源表达

gvp3234

还能有效增强异源酶蛋白的合成效率。本研究首次报道了异源表达气囊基因簇

gvp3234

在两株链霉菌中具有提升已知代谢产物产量、激活宿主沉默代谢途径的普适性功能，为链霉菌代谢工程中目标产物的理性优化及新型活性分子的挖掘提供了新的工具与理论依据。

Abstract

Gas vesicles (GVs) are a class of protein-based

rigid

hollow organelles commonly found in aquatic microorganisms. They are assembled from gene clusters encoding complete gas vesicle synthesis pathways within the genome. Notably

homologous gas vesicle gene clusters are also widely distributed in soil streptomycetes

though their physiological functions remain unclear. In this study

we cloned the gas vesicle gene cluster

gvpOAFGJLSK

(

gvp3234

3.4 kb) from

Streptomyces

sp. CB03234 and introduced it into the model streptomycete

Streptomyces albus

J1074 via conjugative transfer. Although transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations did not detect typical gas vesicle structures in the recombinant strain

heterologous expression of

gvp3234

was found to significantly promote early growth of the host strain and trigger extensive metabolic reprogramming. Untargeted metabolomics analysis revealed that the accumulation levels

of 170 metabolites were significantly upregulated in the recombinant strain. By comparison with databases

we confirmed a substantial increase in the production of various known bioactive compounds

including 2-aminobenzoic acid and albaflavenone

and identified 22 previously uncharacterized metabolites that were activated. Furthermore

heterologous expression of

gvp3234

in another streptomycete

Streptomyces venezuelae

ISP5230

also led to significant changes in the metabolome and activation of silent metabolic pathways. The study further demonstrated that heterologous expression of

gvp3234

effectively enhanced the synthesis efficiency of heterologous enzyme proteins. This study is the first to report that heterologous expression of the gas vesicle gene cluster

gvp3234

exhibits a universal function in two species of streptomycetes

enhancing the production of known metabolites and activating silent metabolic pathways in the host. These findings provide a novel tool and theoretical foundation for the rational optimization of target products and the discovery of new bioactive molecules in streptomycete metabolic engineering.
