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.
本发明涉及产生被定性为苯基异喹啉类化合物的宿主细胞,以及其选择性前体和中间体。所述宿主细胞包括一个、两个或更多异源编码序列,其中每个异源编码序列编码参与苯基异喹啉代谢途径的酶,或其前体或中间体从起始化合物开始。本发明还涉及通过在促进表达产生苯基异喹啉或其前体或中间体的酶的培养条件下培养宿主细胞的方法来生产苯基异喹啉,以及其选择性前体和中间体。
