Streptomyces virginiae is one of the most difficult Streptomyces strains to transform because of its strong restriction barrier. We succeeded in transforming S. virginiae by combining heat treatment of protoplasts and in vitro methylation of plasmids. In order to avoid the host restriction barrier, plasmids were modified by methylase AluI, and S. virginiae protoplasts were treated at 42°C for 15 min prior to transformation. Under the optimal conditions, plasmids pIJ486, pKC1064 and pUWL-KS isolated from Streptomyces lividans were introduced into S. virginiae at a frequency of 1.4×103, 7.0×102 and 1.2×103 transformants per μg DNA, respectively. Plasmid pKC1064 and pUWL-KS isolated from Escherichia coli DH5α could not transform S. virginiae, but those isolated from E. coli JM110 (dam, dcm) could transform at a frequency of 1.0×102 and 2.4×102 transformants per μg DNA, indicating the presence of a methylation-specific restriction system in S. virginiae.
