description Strain robustness and titer improvement are major challenges faced in the industrial development of natural products from <i>Streptomyces</i>. Tiancimycins (TNMs) produced by <i>Streptomyces</i> sp. CB03234 are promising anticancer payloads for antibody-drug conjugates, but further development is severely limited by the low titer of TNMs. Despite many efforts to generate various TNMs overproducers, the mechanisms underlying high TNMs production remain to be explored. Herein, genome resequencing and genomic comparisons of different TNMs overproducers were conducted to explore the unique genotypes in CB03234-GS26. Four target genes were selected for further bioinformatic analyses and genetic validations. The results indicated that the inactivation of histidine ammonia-lyase (HAL) showed the most significant effect by blocking the intracellular degradation of histidine to facilitate relevant enzymatic catalysis and thus improve the production of TNMs. Additionally, the potassium/proton antiporter (P/PA) was crucial for intracellular pH homeostasis, and its deficiency severely impaired the alkaline tolerance of the cells. Subsequent pan-genomic analysis suggested that HAL and P/PA are core enzymes that are highly conserved in <i>Streptomyces</i>. Therefore, HAL and P/PA represented novel targets to regulate secondary metabolism and enhance strain robustness and could become potential synthetic biological modules to facilitate development of natural products and strain improvement in <i>Streptomyces</i>.
