The present invention relates to a microbial cell capable of producing at least one acetylhomoserine from 4-acetyl-butyric acid and/or ester thereof, wherein the cell is genetically modified to comprise
- at least a first genetic mutation that increases the expression relative to the wild type cell of an enzyme E1 capable of catalysing the hydroxylation of 4-acetyl-butyric acid and/or ester thereof to an alpha-hydroxy acetyl butanone, and
- at least a second genetic mutation that increases the expression relative to the wild type cell of enzyme E2 capable of catalysing the amination of the alpha-hydroxy acetyl butanone to the acetylhomoserine.
本发明涉及一种能从 4-乙酰
丁酸和/或其酯生产至少一种乙酰高
丝氨酸的微
生物细胞,其中该细胞经
基因修饰后包括
- 至少第一个
基因突变,相对于野生型细胞,该突变增加了能够催化 4-乙酰
丁酸和/或其酯羟基化为α-羟基乙酰
丁酮的酶 E1 的表达,以及
- 至少第二种
基因突变,相对于野生型细胞,增加了能催化α-羟基乙酰
丁酮氨化为乙酰高
丝氨酸的酶 E2 的表达量。
