A method and cell line for producing polyketides in yeast. The method applies, and the cell line includes, a yeast cell transformed with a polyketide synthase coding sequence. The polyketide synthase enzyme catalyzes synthesis of olivetol or methyl-olivetol, and may include Dictyostelium discoideum polyketide synthase (“DiPKS”). Wild type DiPKS produces methyl-olivetol only. DiPKS may be modified to produce olivetol only or a mixture of both olivetol and methyl-olivetol. The yeast cell may be modified to include a phosphopantethienyl transferase for increased activity of DiPKS. The yeast cell may be modified to mitigate mitochondrial acetaldehyde catabolism for increasing malonyl-CoA available for synthesizing olivetol or methyl-olivetol.
A method of producing a polyketide, the method comprising:
A yeast cell for producing at least one species of polyketide, the yeast cell comprising a first polynucleotide coding for a polyketide synthase enzyme.
A method of transforming a yeast cell for production of at least one species of polyketide, the method comprising introducing a first polynucleotide coding for a polyketide synthase enzyme into the yeast cell line.
A method of producing a polyketide, the method comprising:
A polynucleotide comprising a coding sequence for a DiPKSG1516D;
A polynucleotide comprising a coding sequence for a DiPKSG1516R polyketide synthase.
A DiPKSG1516D;
A DiPKSG1516R polyketide synthase with a primary structure having between 80% and 100% amino acid residue sequence homology with a protein coded for by a reading frame defined by bases 523 to 9966 of SEQ ID NO:
