doi: 10.3389/ffunb.2024.1327777
Figure Lengend Snippet: Strain engineering for optimization of 6-MSA and bostrycoidin biosynthesis in Yarrowia lipolytica. Overview of the main processes in the lipid metabolism of Y. lipolytica – the synthesis of lipid precursors, lipogenesis, and lipid degradation are color-coded green, purple, and blue, respectively. Recycling of lipid/polyketide building blocks, acetyl- and malonyl-CoA, is attempted by up-regulating ß-oxidation through overexpression of TGL4 and AOX2 (highlighted in bold). Abbreviations and enzyme names: AcCoA, acetyl-CoA; MalCoA, malonyl-CoA; PDH, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex; TCA, tricarboxylic acid; ACL1 and ACL2, ATP-citrate lyases; ACC1, acetyl-CoA carboxylase; FAS, fatty acid synthase complex; TGL3 and TGL4, lipases; AOX1-6, acyl-CoA oxidases (encoded by POX1-6 genes); MFE2, multi-functional enzyme; POT1, thiolase.
Article Snippet: Yarrowia lipolytica strain PO1f (MatA, ura3-302, leu2-270, xpr2-322, axp-2), ATCC MYA-2613 ( ) was used as parental strain for inserting the 6-MSAS encoding gene, bostrycoidin gene cluster, together with the co-activating PPTase.
Techniques: Over Expression, Functional Assay
