The present invention relates to host cells that produce compounds that are characterized as benzylisoquinolines, as well as select precursors and intermediates thereof. The host cells comprise one, two or more heterologous coding sequences wherein each of the heterologous coding sequences encodes an enzyme involved in the metabolic pathway of a benzylisoquinoline, or its precursors or intermediates from a starting compound. The invention also relates to methods of producing the benzylisoquinoline, as well as select precursors and intermediates thereof by culturing the host cells under culture conditions that promote expression of the enzymes that produce the benzylisoquinoline or precursors or intermediates thereof.
本发明涉及可产生苄基异喹啉类化合物及其特定前体和中间体的宿主细胞。宿主细胞包括一个、两个或多个异源编码序列,其中每个异源编码序列编码一种酶,该酶参与从起始化合物到苄基异喹啉或其前体或中间体的代谢途径。本发明还涉及在促进产生苄基异喹啉或其前体或中间体的酶的表达的培养条件下培养宿主细胞,从而生产苄基异喹啉及其精选前体和中间体的方法。
