Abstract:
:Quorum sensing (QS) is mediated by small molecules and involved in diverse cellular functions, such as virulence, biofilm formation, secondary metabolism, and cell differentiation. In this study, we developed a rapid and effective screening tool based on a cell-free Escherichia coli-based expression system to identify QS molecules of Streptomyces. The binding of QS molecules to gamma-butyrolactone receptor ScbR was monitored by changes in the expression levels of the green fluorescent protein reporter in E. coli cell extract. Using this assay system, we could successfully confirm SCB1, a gamma-butyrolactone molecule in Streptomyces coelicolor, binding to its known receptor, ScbR. In addition, we have shown that N-hexanoyl-DL-homoserine lactone, one of the QS molecules in many gram-negative bacteria, can regulate ScbR and trigger precocious antibiotic production in S. coelicolor. Our new method can be applied to other strains for which a screening tool for QS molecules has not yet been developed.
