Briefly, the gbnA-E fragment was first excised from fosmid 1D39 by digestion with MfeI and AfeI. The ~11.8 kb target DNA fragment wascloned into the EcoRI/EcoRV-digested pSET152 vector to generate pSET152-apkcr. Next, the cat-ermER* cassette was amplified from plasmid pUC19-Cm-PermER* (Li et al. 2014) use for promoter replacement. Then, the native promoter of gbnA in pSET152-apkcr was replaced with a modified ermE* promoter (ermER*) by PCR-targeting (Gust et al. 2003) to produce the integrativeplasmid pSET152-ermER*-apkcr. Furthermore, to construct thegbnD-E deletion plasmid, the gbnC fragment was amplified from fosmid 1D39and digested by KpnI, followed by ligated into KpnI-digested pSET152-ermER*-apkcr to generate pSET152-ermER*-apk. 2 Heterologous expression of gbnA-C in Streptomyces coelicolor ZM12 a b NL: 2.71E7 ZM12 WT NL: 1.93E7 ZM12 WT NL: 2.24E7 ZM12::ermER*apk 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 0 4 8 12 16 20 Time (min) Time (min) m/z = 150.00-500.00 m/z = 150.00-200.00 24 28 d c 0 NL: 1.63E7 ZM12::ermER*apk 4 8 12 16 20 Time (min) 24 28 NL: 1.51E7 ZM12 WT NL: 1.40E7 ZM12 WT NL: 1.53E7 ZM12::ermER*apk NL: 1.22E7 ZM12::ermER*apk 0 32 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 m/z = 300.00-350.00 e NL: 7.43E6 ZM12 WT f NL: 3.29E6 ZM12 WT NL: 5.35E6 ZM12::ermER*apk 4 8 12 16 20 32 Time (min) m/z = 200.00-300.00 0 32 24 28 32 NL: 3.65E6 ZM12::ermER*apk 0 4 8 12 16 20 Time (min) Time (min) m/z = 350.00-400.00 m/z = 400.00-500.00 24 28 32 Fig.S1HPLC-MS analysis of the metabolic profiles of Streptomycescoelicolor ZM12 (host strain, WT) and ZM12::ermER*apk (mutant strain containing gbnA-C).a-f The extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) of m/z150-500, 150-200, 200-300, 300-350, 350-400, and 400-500, respectively. 3 References Gust B, Challis GL, Fowler K, Kieser T, Chater KF (2003) PCR-targeted Streptomyces gene replacement identifies a protein domain needed for biosynthesis of the sesquiterpene soil odor geosmin.
