摘要:
This invention relates to the production of 7-dehydrocholesterol, 25-hydroxy-7-dehydrocholesterol, and 25-hydroxy ergosterol in yeast such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It also related to various enzymes catalyzing the reduction of the double bond at position 24 of lanosterol, dimethyl zymosterol, methyl zymosterol, zymosterol, cholesta-7, 24-dienol, or cholesta-5,7,24-trienol; or the hydroxylation at position 25 of ergosterol, 7-dehydrocholesterol, cholesta-8-enol, and cholesta-7-enol. It also relates to various nucleic acids encoding cholesterol C25-hydroxylases and sterol Δ24-reductases and their use to produce and hydroxylate 7-dehydrocholesterol or ergosterol. It also relates to the yeast strains so produced, and methods of making these sterols comprising the steps of cultivation a transformed yeast cell, and harvesting the resulting sterol(s).
摘要:
The invention concerns the production of cholesterol of the Fungi kingdom. More particularly, the invention concerns genetically modified Fungus independently producing cholesterol from a simple carbon source. The invention also concerns the use of the inventive Fungus for producing non-marked and marked cholesterol.
摘要:
Yeast strains and a method of expression in yeast of the monooxygenase activity of heterologous cytochromes P450 are disclosed. Within the genome of the yeast strain, genes for NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase and cytochrome b5 are stably integrated and coexpressed. The genome is transformed with a plasmid carrying a cassette for the expression of a heterologous P450 gene.
