Abstract: Two-component systems (TCS) perform a regulatory function in the biosynthesis of various secondary metabolites in Bacillus. However, the TCS controlling edeine biosynthesis have seldom been reported. This research, employing bioinformatics analysis, has uncovered the potential regulatory role of the two-component factor LiaRS in the biosynthesis of edeine. By employing the Red/ET homologous recombination technique, the liaS and liaR genes of the wild-type X23 were effectively eliminated, leading to the development of mutant strains. The results from plate culture, qRT-PCR quantitative analysis, and HPLC-MS targeted metabolic profiling demonstrated a significant increase in the diameter of the inhibitory zone for the mutant strains and a notable up-regulation of the expression of the edeine biosynthesis gene clusters. Moreover, the peak area of edeine was found to be 1.3 times that of the wild type. The findings of this research indicate that LiaRS functions as a suppressor of edeine biosynthesis, thereby offering potential gene elements for the metabolic engineering of edeine.
