Pathway engineering in yeast for synthesizing the complex polyketide bikaverin
3 Dec 2020
Abstract excerpt
Fungal polyketides display remarkable structural diversity and bioactivity, and therefore the biosynthesis and engineering of this large class of molecules is therapeutically significant. Here, we successfully recode, construct and characterize the biosynthetic pathway of bikaverin, a tetracyclic polyketide with antibiotic, antifungal and anticancer properties, in S. cerevisiae. We use a green fluorescent protein...
