In the current study, a phylogenetically distinct Bombyx mori 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase (DHPAAS) is identified to bypass MAO and DDC for direct production of 3,4-dihydrox- yphenylacetaldehyde (DHPAA) from L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA). Structure- based enzyme engineering of DHPAAS results in bifunctional switching between aldehyde synthase and decarboxylase activities. Output of dopamine and DHPAA products is fine- tuned by engineered DHPAAS variants with Phe79Tyr, Tyr80Phe and Asn192His catalytic substitutions. Balance of dopamine and DHPAA products enables improved THP biosynthesis via a symmetrical pathway in Escherichia coli. Rationally engineered insect DHPAAS produces (R,S)-THP in a single enzyme system directly from L-DOPA both in vitro and in vivo, at higher yields than that of the wild-type enzyme. However, DHPAAS-mediated downstream BIA production requires further improvement. 1 Graduate School of Science, Technology and Innovation, Kobe University, 1-1 Rokkodai-cho, Nada-ku, Kobe 657-8501, Japan. 2 Mitsui Knowledge Industry Co., Ltd.

Hacemos un análisis general de dos funciones principales de la morfina en el ser humano y de la importancia de aclarar su biosíntesis para establecer las etapas defectuosas en los enfermos parkinsonianos. Se admite que el daño de las neuronas melánicas de la sustancia negra se produce por neurotoxinas endógenas, metabolitos anormales por cantidad o calidad, resultantes del metabolismo secundario de la dopamina lo cual desencadena la enfermedad de Parkinson idiopática. Deben diseñarse pruebas funcionales que permitan identificar dichos metabolitos en las poblaciones de alto riesgo genético y correlacionarlos con los alelos presentes en ellas. Se concluye que para un diagnóstico preclínico de la enfermedad de Parkinson idiopático es necesario comparar los niveles de morfina proveniente del sistema nervioso central en la sangre de personas normales y en parkinsonianos antes de cualquier tratamiento.

Received: 6 November 2017; Accepted: 16 November 2017; Published: 20 November 2017 Abstract: Benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs) are among the most important plant secondary metabolites, in that they include a number of biologically active substances widely employed as pharmaceuticals. Isolation of BIAs from their natural sources is an expensive and time-consuming procedure as they accumulate in very low levels in plant. Moreover, total synthesis is challenging due to the presence of stereogenic centers. In view of these considerations, green and scalable methods for BIA synthesis using fully enzymatic approaches are getting more and more attention. The aim of this paper is to review fully enzymatic strategies for producing the benzylisoquinoline central precursor, (S)-norcoclaurine and its derivatives.

Published 21 October 2014 Tetrahydropapaveroline (THP), a benzylisoquinoline alkaloid (BIA) found in diverse pharmaceutical compounds, is used as a starting material for the production of BIA. THP also has various neurobiological properties but is difficult to synthesize. Therefore, a simple method for THP production is desired. Recent studies have shown that microbes, especially bacteria, can serve as platforms for synthesizing these complex Correspondence and compounds; however, because bacteria lack organelles, the designed synthetic pathway cannot be requests for materials compartmentalized. Thus, the metabolic flow is frequently inhibited or disrupted by undesirable reactions. should be addressed to Indeed, in the first attempt to synthesize THP using a single strain of engineered Escherichia coli, the yield , m H.M. (minami@ was quite low ( 5 M), mainly because of the oxidation of THP by tyrosinase, an essential enzyme in our production system. To circumvent these problems, we constructed a stepwise (R,S)-THP production ishikawa-pu.ac.jp) system, in which the dopamine-producing step and the subsequent THP-producing step were separated. The yield of (R,S)-THP reached 1.0 mM (287 mg/L), the highest yielding BIA production method using a microbe reported to date.

  • Escherichia Coli As a Host for Metabolic Engineering

Features such as genetic tractability, favorable growth conditions, well characterized biochemistry and physiology, and avail- ability of versatile genetic manipulation tools make E. coli an ideal platform host for development of industrially viable productions. In this review, we discuss the physiological attributes of E. coli that are most relevant for metabolic engineering, as well as emerging techniques that enable efficient phenotype construction. Further, we summarize the large number of native and non-native products that have been synthesized by E. coli, and address some of the future challenges in broadening substrate range and fighting phage infection. 1. Introduction acids which has traditionally been produced from the natural producer Corynebacterium glutamicum (Gusyatiner et al., 2017). E. coli production Escherichia coli is a Gram-negative, facultative anaerobic bacterium of n-butanol has also been demonstrated to the level similar to that originally discovered in the human colon in 1885 by German bacter- produced in Clostridia (Shen et al., 2011; Ohtake et al., 2017).

  • Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Oripavine and Its Derivatives
    Advances in Bioscience and Biotechnology, 2014, 5, 704-717 Published Online July 2014 in SciRes. http://www.scirp.org/journal/abb http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/abb.2014.58084 Recent Advances in the Chemistry of Oripavine and Its Derivatives Sandor Hosztafi Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary Email: [email protected] Received 2 May 2014; revised 16 June 2014; accepted 12 July 2014 Copyright © 2014 by author and Scientific Research Publishing Inc. This work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution International License (CC BY). http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Abstract Oripavine is the major alkaloid of Papaver orientale. It is an important intermediate in the bio- synthesis of morphine alkaloids. Recently, new Papaver somniferum strains have been developed which accumulate thebaine and oripavine, but not morphine and codeine. Therefore, the chemi- stry of oripavine has been studied intensively to synthesize opioid pharmaceuticals such as oxy- morphone, naloxone and buprenorphine. Keywords Papaver orientale, Papaver somniferum, Oripavine, Thebaine, Top1 Poppy 1. Introduction Thebaine an alkaloid present in 0.2% - 0.8% in opium and a major constituent (90% of total alkaloid content) in Papaver bracteatum (which is morphine free), possesses little utility medically for two reasons: (a) its lack of the depressant and analgesic properties common to other morphine alkaloids and (b) its expression of extreme toxicity and CNS stimulation. Oripavine is also a minor alkaloid of the opium poppy, but it is the main alkaloid of the oriental poppy Papaver orientale, which is a perennial flowering plant. The development of the top1 poppy was an important finding for the opium industry in Australia, because this poppy strain produces thebaine and oripavine, but not morphine or codeine.

  • A Yeast Platform for High-Level Synthesis of Tetrahydroisoquinoline Alkaloids

Grewal 3, Lauren Narcross1,2, Brian Choi 3, ✉ Leanne Bourgeois1,2, John E. Dueber 4,5 & Vincent J. J. Martin 1,2 The tetrahydroisoquinoline (THIQ) moiety is a privileged substructure of many bioactive natural products and semi-synthetic analogs. Plants manufacture more than 3,000 THIQ 1234567890():,; alkaloids, including the opioids morphine and codeine. While microbial species have been engineered to synthesize a few compounds from the benzylisoquinoline alkaloid (BIA) family of THIQs, low product titers impede industrial viability and limit access to the full chemical space. Here we report a yeast THIQ platform by increasing production of the central BIA intermediate (S)-reticuline to 4.6 g L−1, a 57,000-fold improvement over our first-generation strain. We show that gains in BIA output coincide with the formation of several substituted THIQs derived from amino acid catabolism. We use these insights to repurpose the Ehrlich pathway and synthesize an array of THIQ structures. This work provides a blueprint for building diverse alkaloid scaffolds and enables the targeted overproduction of thousands of THIQ products, including natural and semi-synthetic opioids. 1 Department of Biology, Concordia University, Montréal, QC, Canada. 2 Centre for Applied Synthetic Biology, Concordia University, Montréal, QC, Canada. 3 Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA. 4 Department of Bioengineering, University of California, Berkeley, Berkeley, CA, USA. 5 Biological Systems & Engineering Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA, USA.
