专利号:US-11046978-B2 优先权日:2016-03-16 标 题:Synthesis of isoprenoids and derivatives 发明人:GONZALEZ RAMON; CLOMBURG JAMES M; CHEONG SEOKJUNG 权利人:UNIV RICE WILLIAM M 摘要:This disclosure generally relates to the use of enzyme combinations or recombinant microbes comprising same to make isoprenoid precursors, isoprenoids and derivatives thereof including prenylated aromatic compounds. Novel metabolic pathways exploiting Claisen, aldol, and acyioin condensations are used instead of the natural mevalonate (MVA) pathway or 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) pathways for generating isoprenoid precursors such as isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP), dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP), and geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP). These pathways have the potential for better carbon and or energy efficiency than native pathways. Both decarboxylative and non-carboxylative condensations are utilized, enabling product synthesis from a number of different starting compounds. These condensation reactions serve as a platform for the synthesis of isoprenoid precursors when utilized in combination with a variety of metabolic pathways and enzymes for carbon rearrangement and the addition/removal of functional groups. Isoprenoid alcohols are key intermediary products for the production of isoprenoid precursors in these novel synthetic metabolic pathways.

专利号:US-12234495-B2 优先权日:2021-04-06 标 题:Synthesis of beta-hydroxyisovalerate and methods of use 发明人:VEMURI GOUTHAM; LINDSAY CHRISTOPHER; ROBERG-PEREZ KEVIN; SNOW CHRISTOPHER D; CAMERON ELIZABETH A 权利人:SASYA INC 摘要:The biological production of beta-hydroxyisovalerate (βHIV) using at least one non-natural enzyme. The non-natural enzyme for the biologically-derived βHIV provides more beta-hydroxyisovalerate synthase activity than the wild-type parent. The non-natural enzyme having one or more modifications of substrate-specificity positions. The non-natural enzyme can be expressed in a microorganism, such as a yeast or bacteria, wherein the microorganism comprises an active βHIV metabolic pathway for the production of βHIV. Alternatively, the non-natural enzyme can be a βHIV synthase used to produce βHIV in a cell-free environment. The biological derivation of βHIV eliminates toxic by-products and impurities that result from the chemical production of βHIV, such that βHIV produced by a non-natural enzyme prior to any isolation or purification process has not been in substantial contact with any halogen-containing component.

The invention additionally provides methods macrocyclic compounds that are synergimycin derivatives.
专利号:US-9481898-B2 优先权日:2010-01-15 标题 :Electro-autotrophic synthesis of higher alcohols 发明人:LIAO JAMES C; CHO KWANG MYUNG 权利人:UNIV CALIFORNIA 摘要:The disclosure provides a process that converts CO 2 to higher alcohols (e.g. isobutanol) using electricity as the energy source. This process stores electricity (e.g. from solar energy, nuclear energy, and the like) in liquid fuels that can be used as high octane number gasoline substitutes. Instead of deriving reducing power from photosynthesis, this process derives reducing power from electrically generated mediators, either H 2 or formate. H 2 can be derived from electrolysis of water. Formate can be generated by electrochemical reduction of CO 2 . After delivering the reducing power in the cell, formate becomes CO 2 and recycles back. Therefore, the biological CO 2 fixation process can occur in the dark.
