Abstract in Portuguese
A cosmomicina D é um policetídeo aromático da família das antraciclinas com propriedades antitumorais e antimicrobianas produzida por Streptomyces olindensis. A elucidação de genes responsáveis pela síntese desta molécula foi abordada neste trabalho com as técnicas de LDGW-PCR e PCR que permitiram amplificar fragmentos gênicos envolvidos na formação da aglicona. O cluster gênico completo foi caracterizado numa região de 43,1 kb produto do seqüenciamento do genoma, onde se agruparam funcionalmente 40 ORFs em varias categorias: síntese de aglicona, reguladores, glicosiltransferases, deoxiaçúcares, resistência e com função desconhecida. Visando obter mutantes nulos para os genes cosS e cosY foram construidos os plasmídeos pCCSII e pCCYII onde a transformação da cepa selvagem com pCCSII resulto na cepa mutante SoDS, deficiente em produção de cosmomicina. As analises dos produtos obtidos da expressão de ambos os genes mostrou um efeito na redução de cosmomicina e supressão de intermediários do complexo antitumoral.

Abstract in English
Cosmomycin D produced by Streptomyces olindensis is an aromatic polyketide of the anthracycline family with antitumor and antimicrobial properties. The amplification of genes responsible for the molecule synthesis were approached in this study by LDGW-PCR and PCR techniques, the obtained fragments showed high similarities with genes involved in aglycon core assembly. The complete gene cluster was characterized in a genome region of 43.1 kb product of genome sequencing, containing 40 ORFs grouped functionally into different categories: aglycon synthesis, regulators, glycosyltransferases, deoxisugars, resistance and unknown function. In order to obtain null mutants for cosS and cosY genes, the plasmids pCCSII pCCYII were constructed, the transformation of the wild strain with pCCSII result in SoDS mutant, deficient in production of cosmomycin. The analyses of the obtained products from the expression of both genes showed an effect in reducing cosmomycin levels and suppression of various intermediates in the antitumor complex.
