than those of daidzein. P450s have the ability of converting daidzein to hydroxydaidzein i.e. 3΄-hydroxy, 6-hydroxy, and 8-hydroxydaidzein. We already found that CYP105D7 (SAV7469) has the specific activity of converting daidzein to hydroxydaidzein. We compared the various strains for the biosynthesis of hydroxydaidzeins. Among strains examined, Streptomyces avermitilis MA4680 highly converted daidzein to orthospecific dihydroxyisoflavones. We investigated recombinant Streptomyces avermitilis strain found to have 3.6 times higher ability than wild type to convert 3΄-hydroxydaidzein. In this report, we found a new pathway-specific regulator which binds to the promoter region of CYP105D7 (SAV7469) in Streptomyces avermitilis by the DNA affinity capture assay method. Since this regulator is well conserved throughout the Streptomyces species, it is expected to have an important role in Streptomyces avermitilis. We made an overexpression mutant, deletion mutant of this regulator and checked the activity of converting daidzein to hydroxydaidzein compared to the wild type strain.
