Distamycin (DST) is a well-characterized DNA minor groove binder with antivirus activity and antitumor potency. Two separate gene clusters (a 28-kb cluster and a 7-kb cluster) have recently been identified to coordinately encode the biosynthetic machinery of DST in Streptomyces netropsis. Here we report a gene cassette, which is linked to the aforementioned smaller dst gene cluster and plays an important role in the self-resistance to DST in S. netropsis. This cassette consists of three uncharacterized genes that might be implicated in DNA replication/repair. Knockout of the cassette led to the decrease in the production of DST, while heterologous expression of part of the cassette in S. lividans made it become resistant to both DST and mitomycin C, another DNA-binding agent. More interestingly, homologs of these three genes were found in genomes of other actinomyces that produce DNA-binding antibiotics, suggesting that a novel common mechanism in addition to pumping may enable these strains to resist the cytotoxic metabolites they produced.
