Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to the use of a maltose dependent degron to control stability of a protein of interest fused thereto at the post-translational level. The present disclosure also relates to the use of a maltose dependent degron in combination with a maltose-responsive promoter to control gene expression at the transcriptional level and to control protein stability at the post-translational level. The present disclosure also relates to the use of a stabilization construct that couples expression of a cell-growth-affecting protein with the production of non-catabolic compounds. The present disclosure further relates to the use of a synthetic maltose-responsive promoter. The present disclosure further provides compositions and methods for using a maltose dependent degron, a maltose-responsive promoter, and a stabilization construct, either alone or in various combinations, for the production of non-catabolic compounds in genetically modified host cells.

Abstract:
Provided herein are compositions and methods for the heterologous production of acetyl-CoA-derived isoprenoids in a host cell. In some embodiments, the host cell is genetically modified to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding an acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetylating (ADA, E.C. 1.2.1.10) and an MEV pathway comprising an NADH-using HMG-CoA reductase. In some embodiments, the host cell is genetically modified to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding an ADA and an MEV pathway comprising an acetoacetyl-CoA synthase. In some embodiments, the genetically modified host cell further comprises one or more heterologous nucleotide sequences encoding a phosphoketolase and a phosphotransacetylase. In some embodiments, the genetically modified host cell further comprises a functional disruption of the native PDH-bypass. The compositions and methods described herein provide an energy-efficient yet redox balanced route for the heterologous production of acetyl-CoA-derived isoprenoids.
Abstract:
Provided herein are compositions and methods for improved production of acetyl-CoA and acetyl-CoA derived compounds in a host cell. In some embodiments, the host cell is genetically modified to comprise a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a phosphoketolase (PK), and a functional disruption of an endogenous enzyme that converts acetyl phosphate to acetate. In some embodiments, the host cell further comprises a heterologous nucleotide sequence encoding a phosphotransacetylase (PTA). In some embodiments, the enzyme that converts acetyl phosphate to acetate is a glycerol-1-phosphatase. In some embodiments, the glycerol-1-phosphatase is GPP1/RHR2. In some embodiments, the glycerol-1-phosphatase is GPP2/HOR2. The compositions and methods described herein provide an efficient route for the heterologous production of acetyl-CoA-derived compounds, including but not limited to, isoprenoids, polyketides, and fatty acids.
