gene BmTC, recombinant coexpression of enzyme BmTC with AaSHC (EC 5.4.99.17) mutant D377C in a squalene epoxidase Erg1-deficient Pichia pastoris strain leading to increased production of (+)-ambrein, recombinant expression of enzyme BmTC mutant D373C Priestia megaterium

D373C site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant enzyme BmeTC (D373C) leads to an improved enzyme that is able to catalyze the conversion starting from squalene to 3-deoxyachilleol and further to (+)-ambrein far more efficiently than the described two-enzyme cascade Priestia megaterium
additional information for the biosynthesis of hydrophobic compounds such as terpenoids in Pichia pastoris, i.e.whole-cell production of (+)-ambrein, a central enzyme in the sterol biosynthesis pathway, squalene epoxidase Erg1, is targeted so that intracellular squalene levels in Pichia pastoris are strongly enhanced. Heterologous expression of AaSHC (EC 5.4.99.17) mutant D377C and enzyme BmeTC, and development of suitable methods to analyze all products of the engineered strain provide conclusive evidence of whole-cell (+)-ambrein production. Engineering of BmeTC leads to a remarkable one-enzyme system that is by far superior to the cascade, thereby increasing (+)-ambrein levels approximately 7fold in shake flask cultivation. Upscaling to 5 l bioreactor yields more than 100 mg/l of (+)-ambrein, demonstrating that metabolically engineered yeast Pichia pastoris represents a valuable, whole-cell system for high-level production of (+)-ambrein.
