摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing enantiomerically pure (13R)-manoyl oxide, said method comprising the steps of contacting geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) with a class II diterpene synthase to obtain labd-13-en-8,15-diol diphosphate (LPP), and then contacting the LPP with a class I diterpene synthase to obtain (13R)-manoyl oxide. The invention further relates to (13R)-manoyl oxide obtained by the method of the invention.

摘要:
The invention discloses novel methods for biosynthesis of forskolin and other oxidised 13R-MOs. Oxidised 13R-MO may be valuable on its own account or as precursors for production of forskolin. In particular, the invention provides methods of producing an oxidised 13R-manoyl oxide (13R-MO) comprising the steps of providing a host organism comprising a heterologous nucleic acid encoding an enzyme capable of catalysing hydroxylation of 13R-MO and/or oxidised 13R-MO at the 9 position, wherein said oxidised 13R-MO carries a –H at the 9-position and incubating said host organism in the presence of 13R-MO under conditions allowing growth of said host organism. The invention also discloses materials for use in said methods, in particular the invention provides the enzyme CYP76AH16.
摘要:
The invention described materials and methods for producing oxidised 13R-MO, such as forskolin. In particular, the invention describes P450s involved in oxidation of 13R- MO including CYP76AH8, CYP76AH11, CYP76AH15, CYP76AH17, CYP71D381 and CYP76AH9. Host organisms expressing one or more of these P450s are useful in the production of oxidized 13R-MO.
