摘要:
Disclosed herein are novel CBGA and CBGVA synthases and methods for improvement of their overall activities for the synthesis of CBGA and CBGVA from their respective precursors, olivetolic acid (OA) or divarinic acid (DVA) and GPP. Also disclosed are fusion proteins to enhance synthesis of CBGA and CBGVA. The methods described herein also increase the titer and the purity of CBGA and CBGVA made by a cell by 1) decreasing the formation of byproducts FCBGA and FCBGVA that are synthesized from the respective prenylation of OA and DVA with FPP, and/or 2) increasing the intracellular availability of OA and DVA.
摘要:
This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering. Specifically, the invention relates to the construction of operons to produce biologically active agents. For example, operons may be constructed to produce agents that control the function of biochemical pathway proteins (e.g., protein phosphatases, kinases and/or proteases). Such agents may include inhibitors and modulators that may be used in studying or controlling phosphatase function associated with abnormalities in a phosphatase pathway or expression level. Fusion proteins, such as light activated protein phosphatases, may be genetically encoded and expressed as photoswitchable phosphatases. Systems are provided for use in controlling phosphatase function within living cells or in identifying small molecule inhibitors/activator/modulator molecules of protein phosphatases associated with cell signaling.

This invention relates to recombinant microorganisms capable of producing isoprene and isoprene production with the use of such recombinant microorganism with good efficiency. In this invention, functional activity of the ispA gene is altered to reduce the production of isoprenoid molecules in recombinant cells engineered to produce isoprene or in cells otherwise susceptible to isoprenoid accumulation during fermentation. This decreased ispA gene functional activity enables enhanced synthesis of isoprene in a host microorganism.

摘要:
To provide a series of techniques for obtaining β-phellandrene with high purity and in a large quantity.Provided is a recombinant cell capable of producing β-phellandrene, prepared by introducing at least one nucleic acid selected from the group consisting of a nucleic acid encoding geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) synthase and a nucleic acid encoding neryl pyrophosphate (NPP) synthase, and a nucleic acid encoding β-phellandrene synthase into a host cell in such a manner that these nucleic acids are expressed in the host cell. Also provided is a method for producing β-phellandrene by culturing the recombinant cell to produce β-phellandrene in the recombinant cell.
