Efficient production of oxidized terpenoids via engineering fusion proteins of terpene synthase and cytochrome P450.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a strategy to improve the accessibility of terpene molecules for the P450 reaction by linking terpenes and P450 together, which showed an improved hydroxylation of the monoterpenoid 1,8-cineole up to 5.4fold.
Journal ArticleDOI

Chassis and key enzymes engineering for monoterpenes production.

TL;DR: Recent advances in cytotoxicity alleviation, reducing in vivo conversion, selecting geranyl diphosphate synthase and engineering monoterpene synthases are reviewed to lead to the development of superior chassis with improved tolerance to cytot toxicity and rationally tailored metabolites profiles to improve titer, yield and productivity for the production of monoterpenes by microbial cells.

The Putative Mevalonate Diphosphate Decarboxylase from Picrophilus torridus Is in Reality a Mevalonate-3-Kinase with High Potential for Bioproduction of Isobutene

TL;DR: This study successfully purified and characterized the putative MVD from P. torridus and discovered that it is not a decarboxylase per se but an ATP-dependent enzyme, mevalonate-3-kinase (M3K), which catalyzes the phosphorylation of MVA toIsobutene, a key enzyme of the novel MVA pathway discovered very recently in Thermoplasma acidophilum.

Metabolic Engineering for Advanced Biofuels Production and Recent Advances Toward Commercialization.

TL;DR: In this review, the recent metabolic engineering approaches for augmenting biofuel production derived from alcohols, isoprenoids, and fatty acids in several microorganisms are discussed and the successful commercialization ventures for each class of biofuel targets are discussed.

Studies on transformation of Escherichia coli with plasmids

TL;DR: Competition with both transforming and non-transforming plasmids indicates that each cell is capable of taking up many DNA molecules, and that the establishment of a transformation event is neither helped nor hindered significantly by the presence of multiple plasmid molecules.

Production of the antimalarial drug precursor artemisinic acid in engineered yeast

TL;DR: The engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to produce high titres (up to 100 mg l-1) of artemisinic acid using an engineered mevalonate pathway, amorphadiene synthase, and a novel cytochrome P450 monooxygenase from A. annua that performs a three-step oxidation of amorpha-4,11-diene to art Artemisinic acid.

Analysis of gene control signals by DNA fusion and cloning in Escherichia coli

TL;DR: Plasmid cloning vectors that enable insertion of DNA fragments between the inducible ara (arabinose) promoter and the lac (lactose) structural genes have been constructed and used for the detection and analysis of signals that control gene transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Engineering a mevalonate pathway in Escherichia coli for production of terpenoids

TL;DR: The strains developed in this study can serve as platform hosts for the production of any terpenoid compound for which a terpene synthase gene is available, and are the universal precursors to all isoprenoids.
