Phosphomannomutase (ManB), whose main function is the conversion of mannose-6-phosphate to mannose-1-phosphate, is involved in biosynthesis of GDP-mannose for numerous processes such as synthesis of structural carbohydrates, production of alginates and ascorbic acid, and post-translational modification of proteins in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. ManB from Streptomyces coelicolor was shown to have both phosphomannomutase and phosphoglucomutase activities. Deletion of manB in S. coelicolor caused a dramatic increase in actinorhodin (ACT) production in the low-glucose Difco nutrient (DN) medium and slight decrease of sporulation in complex medium (R5-). Experiments involving complementation of the manB deletion showed that increased ACT production in DN media was due to blockage of phosphomannomutase activity rather than phosphoglucomutase activity. These results provide useful information for the role of phosphomannomutase in S. coelicolor on antibiotic production and sporulation.
