In the process of evaluating the growth of Streptomyces coelicolor on rich media such as blood agar, we found that S. coelicolor a non-pathogenic, well-known antibiotic producer had the ability to grow and produce a prominent hemolytic zone. By comparing the growth with an agarase gene mutant of S. coelicolor, a similar prominent hemolytic zone was found to develop due to the organism's hemolytic activity. After the confirmation of hemolytic activity from S. coelicolor, the genome was searched for hemolysin-coding genes; consequently, SCO1782, SCO2534, and SCO3882 were identified, whose products were annotated as a putative, membrane, and hypothetical proteins, respectively. Functional characterization of all the recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli BL21(DE3) revealed that only SCO1782 exhibited hemolytic activity. This S. coelicolor protein, designated as S-hemolysin, showed sequence similarity toward hemolysins from Brachyspira hyodysenteriae (35%) and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (62%). Recombinant hemolysin exhibited activity against sheep blood erythrocytes and cytolytic activity against human fibroblast cells. Deletion of SCO1782 resulted in complete loss of hemolysin activity in S. coelicolor. •The first report on a hemolysin from a well studied antibiotics producer, Streptomyces coelicolor.•Functional expression and purification of S-Hemolysin from S. coelicolor in E. coli.•S-Hemolysin exhibiting hemolytic and cellulolytic activity against Eukaryotic cells.
