酵母人工合成细胞生产植物源天然产物

Production of plant-derived natural products in yeast cells-A review

摘要:

植物源天然产物在医疗保健领域有着广泛的应用。目前,生产植物源天然产物的主要方式为从原植物直接提取,但此法面临诸多问题。基于合成生物学的理念,创建酵母人工细胞工厂发酵生产植物源天然产物是一种新的资源获取途径。本文将从植物源天然产物在药物和营养领域的应用前景,发酵法生产青蒿酸的研发历程,部分萜类、生物碱和长链多不饱和脂肪酸的研究进展,以及该领域相关技术前沿4个方面介绍酵母人工合成细胞生产植物源天然产物的近况。

Abstract:

Plant-derived natural products (PNPs) have been widely used in pharmaceutical and nutritional fields. So far, the main method to produce PNPs is extracting them from their original plants, however, there remains lots of problems. With the concept of synthetic biology, construction of yeast cell factories for production of PNPs provides an alternative way. In this review, we will focus on PNPs' market and application, research progress for production of artemisinin, research progress for production of terpenes, alkaloids and polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFAs) and recent technology development to give a brief introduction of construction of yeast cells for production of PNPs.
