Aspects of the invention include host cells that are engineered to produce benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs). The host cells include heterologous coding sequences for a variety of enzymes involved in synthetic pathways from starting compounds to BIAs of the host cell. Also provided are methods of producing the BIAs of interest by culturing the host cells under culture conditions that promote expression of enzymes encoded by the heterologous coding sequences of the host cells. Aspects of the invention further include compositions, e.g., host cells, starting compounds and kits, etc., that find use in methods of the invention.
本发明的各个方面包括经改造可生产苄基异喹啉生物碱(BIAs)的宿主细胞。宿主细胞包括多种酶的异源编码序列,这些酶参与宿主细胞从起始化合物到 BIAs 的合成途径。本发明还提供了在促进宿主细胞异源编码序列所编码的酶的表达的培养条件下培养宿主细胞以生产所关注的 BIAs 的方法。本发明的各个方面还包括可用于本发明方法的组合物,如宿主细胞、起始化合物和试剂盒等。
