Abstract

The two-component system (TCS) found in various organisms is a regulatory system, which is involved in the response by the organism to stimuli, thereby regulating the internal behavior of the cell. It is commonly found in prokaryotes and is an important signaling system in bacteria. TCSs are involved in the regulation of physiological and morphological differentiation of the industrially important microbes from the genus Streptomyces, which produce a vast array of bioactive secondary metabolites (SMs). Genetic engineering of TCSs can substantially increase the yield of target SMs, which is valuable for industrial-scale production. Research on TCS has mainly been completed in the model strain Streptomyces coelicolor. In this review, we summarize the recent advances in the functional identification and elucidation of the regulatory mechanisms of various TCSs in S. coelicolor, with a focus on their roles in the biosynthesis of important SMs.
