摘要:
Provided herein, among other things, is an automatable procedure that employs in vitro directed evolution to create DNA sequences that encode a ligand-responsive ribozyme and which, when transcribed, can control expression of genes they are coupled to. The method also allows creation of functional RNA sequences that bind target molecules, without requiring any modification or immobilization of the target.
摘要:
Host cells that are engineered to produce benzylisoquinoline alkaloid (BIAs) precursors, such as norcoclaurine (NC) and norlaudanosoline (NL), are provided. The host cells may have one or more engineered modifications selected from: a feedback inhibition alleviating mutation in a enzyme gene; a transcriptional modulation modification of a biosynthetic enzyme gene; an inactivating mutation in an enzyme; and a heterologous coding sequence. Also provided are methods of producing a BIA of interest or a precursor thereof using the host cells and compositions, e.g., kits, systems etc., that find use in methods of the invention.
摘要:
Methods and engineered yeast cells for generating a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid product are provided herein. A method comprises providing engineered yeast cells and a feedstock to a reactor. In the reactor, the engineered yeast cells are subjected to fermentation by incubating the engineered yeast cells for a time period to produce a solution comprising the BIA product and cellular material. The solution comprises not more than one class of molecule selected from the group of protoberberine, morphinan, isopavine, aporphine, and benzylisoquinoline. Additionally, at least one separation unit is used to separate the BIA product from the cellular material to provide the product stream comprising the BIA product.
摘要:
Engineered non-plant cells that produce a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid product that is a derivative of canadine along a metabolic pathway that converts canadine, or an analog of canadine, to a noscapinoid product are provided. Methods of culturing engineered non-plant cells that produce a noscapinoid product and pharmaceutical compositions are also provided.
