Abstract

PCL1445 secretes two cyclic lipopeptides, putisolvin I and putisolvin II, which possess a surface-tension-reducing ability, and are able to inhibit biofilm formation and to break down biofilms of species including . The putisolvin synthetase gene cluster () and its surrounding region were isolated, sequenced and characterized. Three genes, termed , and , were identified and shown to be involved in putisolvin biosynthesis. The gene products encode the 12 modules responsible for the binding of the 12 amino acids of the putisolvin peptide moiety. Sequence data indicate that the adenylation domain of the 11th module prioritizes the recognition of Val instead of Leu or Ile and consequently favours putisolvin I production over putisolvin II. Detailed analysis of the thiolation domains suggests that the first nine modules recognize the form of the amino acid residues while the two following modules recognize the form and the last module the or form, indifferently. The gene, which is located upstream of , shows high similarity to -type regulatory genes and is required for the expression of the cluster. In addition, two genes, and , located downstream of were identified and shown to be involved in putisolvin production or export.
