CELLULAR ENGINEERING TO IMPROVE CANNABINOID PRODUCTION IN MICROBIAL CELLS

Provided herein are recombinant enzymes, cells, and methods to optimize the production of cannabinoids in micro-organisms. In particular, the cells produce an increased ratio of geranyl diphosphate (GPP) to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) as compared to a control cell, and the cell expresses a mutant far...

Zusammenfassung:Provided herein are recombinant enzymes, cells, and methods to optimize the production of cannabinoids in micro-organisms. In particular, the cells produce an increased ratio of geranyl diphosphate (GPP) to farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) as compared to a control cell, and the cell expresses a mutant farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase protein (FPPS). This mutant FPPS comprises one or more insertion, deletion, or substitution at an amino acid position equivalent to one or more amino acid positions 88-90 of wild-type ERG20. in addition, the cell may express or overexpress one or more enzymes in a synthesis pathway of one or more monoterpenes, prenylated compounds, or cannabinoids.
