Enhanced (S)-linalool production by fusion expression of farnesyl diphosphate synthase and linalool synthase in Saccharomyces cerevisiae
AimsIn order to improve the availability of geranyl diphosphate (GPP) in the mevalonate pathway for enhancing (S)-linalool production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Methods and ResultsA (S)-linalool synthase (LIS): AaLS1 from Actinidia arguta was coexpressed with FPPS with different peptide linkers to redirect the flux from geranyl diphosphate (GPP) to (S)-linalool production in S.cerevisiae. The strain with the best peptide linker ((GGGGS)(3)), produced 10155297gl(-1) (S)-linalool, a 697% increase compared to those with two independent LIS and FPPS expressed. In a 3-l fermenter, the (S)-linalool titre was further improved to 24064531gl(-1). ConclusionsThe results demonstrate that the fusion proteins catalysing consecutive steps in a metabolic pathway significantly improved the (S)-linalool production with GPP as precursor. Significance and Impact of the StudyThe fusion protein strategy co-expressing AaLS1 and FPPS, assembled with a long peptide linker made S.cerevisiae produced the highest reported (S)-Linalool titre to date.
