Mureidomycins (MRDs),a group of unique uridyl-peptide antibiotics,exhibit antibacterial activity against the highly refractory pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Our previous study showed that the cryptic MRD biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC) mrd in Streptomyces roseosporus NRRL 15998 could not be activated by its endogenous regulator 02995 but activated by an exogenous activator SsaA from sansanmycin\'s BGC ssa ofStreptomyces sp.strain SS.Here we report the molecular mechanism for this inexplicable regulation.EMSAs and footprinting experiments revealed that SsaA could directly bind to a 14-nt palindrome sequence of 5\'-CTGRCNNNNGTCAG-3\'within six promoter regions of mrd.Disruption of three representative target genes(SSGG-02981,SSGG-02987 and SSGG-02994) showed that the target genes directly controlled by SsaA were essential for MRD production.The regulatory function was further investigated by replacing six regions of SSGG-02995 with those of ssaA.Surprisingly,only the replacement of 343-450 nt fragment encoding the 115-150 amino acids (AA) of SsaA could activate MRD biosynthesis.Further bioinformatics analysis showed that the 115-150 AA situated between two conserved domains of SsaA.Our findings significantly demonstrate that constitutive expression of a homologous exogenous regulatory gene is an effective strategy to awaken cryptic biosynthetic pathways in Streptomyces.

苏里格气田苏14井区二叠系下石盒子组盒8段岩性气藏的主体储层为辫状河沉积体系形成的多种复杂叠置砂体,其叠置关系的认识对于气田的开发至关重要,如何制定合理工作制度成为气田高效开发的难题.通过分析气田储层砂体叠置关系,建立了不同类型生产井与叠置砂体分布关系模型,并利用数值模拟方法对不同砂体叠置模式下直井和水平井合理工作制度进行研究.结果表明,直井生产主要受到横向砂体叠置影响,纵向砂体叠置影响不大;纵向和横向砂体叠置均会对水平井生产带来明显影响;砂体叠置是造成苏里格气田稳产期短、产量开发早期就呈现递减的主要原因
鄂尔多斯盆地中东部地区奥陶系马家沟组发育巨厚的盐岩、膏岩沉积,封盖性能好,膏盐岩之下的碳酸盐岩一直是备受关注的重要勘探领域.在对区域构造沉积背景及沉积相带分布研究的基础上,以马家沟组马五段膏盐岩盖层之下的马四段碳酸盐岩为目标,主要开展了储层及成藏特征研究.研究认为:马四段白云岩分布主要受控于古隆起控制下的台内分异作用,发育滩相晶间孔型白云岩储层,马三段等层段的溶孔型白云岩储层也具有较好的储集性能;加里东期的风化剥蚀作用造成马四段白云岩与上古生界煤系烃源岩、奥陶系盐下海相烃源岩形成了空间配置关系,天然气成藏
Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are widely involved in a variety of biological processes,including epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT).In the current study,we found that lncRNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 8 (SNHG8) was tightly correlated with EMT-ass
