摘要
Metabolic engineering of heterologous resver- atrol production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae faces challenges as the precursor L-tyrosine is stringently regulated by a complex biosynthetic system. We over- expressed the main gene targets in the upstream pathways to investigate their influences on the downstream resver- atrol production. Single-gene overexpression and DNA assembly-directed multigene overexpression affect the production of resveratrol as well as its precursor p-coumaric acid. Finally, the collaboration of selected gene targets leads to an optimal resveratrol production of 66.144-3.74 mg.L-1, 2.27 times higher than the initial production in YPD medium （4% glucose）. The newly discovered gene targets TRP1 expressing phosphoribosy- lanthranilate isomerase, AR03 expressing 3-deoxy-D- arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase, and 4CL expressing 4-coumaryl-CoA ligase show notable positive impacts on resveratrol production in S. cerevisiae.
