Abstract
Provided herein include methods of making mogroside compounds, e.g., Compound 1, compositions (for example host cells) for making the mogroside compounds, and the mogroside compounds made by the methods disclosed herein, and compositions (for example, cell lysates) and recombinant cells comprising the mogroside compounds (e.g., Compound 1). Also provided herein are novel cucurbitadienol synthases and the use thereof.
Claims3
A method of producing Compound 1 having the structure of:
- the method comprising:
- contacting mogroside IIIE with an enzyme capable of catalyzing a reaction for the production of the compound 1 from the mogroside IIIE, wherein the enzyme comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to any one of the sequences set forth in SEQ ID NOs:
- 2, and 103 having dextransucrase activity or wherein the enzyme having dextransucrase activity is encoded by a gene comprising a nucleic acid sequence having at least 90% sequence identity to any one of SEQ ID NOs:104, and 105.
