Introduction

This sequence codes for an enzymatic fusion between CrtY that transforms Lycopene into β-carotene, and phCCD1 that transforms β-carotene into β-ionone. Those two sequences are codon optimized for an expression into S. cerevisiae.

These two sequences are codon optimized for expression into S. cerevisiae. These two enzymes are fused by a long linker composed of 4 times 4 glycines followed by a serine (LGS). This linker brings the substrate (ε-carotene) closer to the enzyme which will transform it into the molecule of interest, α-ionone.

The CrtY sequence comes from Pantoea ananatis and phCCD1 comes from Petunia hybrida genome. We took advantage of the publication of Chen et al. (2019) to design our enzymatic fusion, and the sequences are described into the publication of López et al. (2020).


Characterization

Production of β-carotene

All the experiments that characterized this part are related to the final construct pFRAMBOISE-fused (BBa_K3930001) which was cloned into the S. cerevisiae LycoYeast strain. For more information on the experimental background, please refer to this part.

The carotenoids contained in the cells were extracted using the method described by López et al. (2020). Yeast cells were lysed in acetone using glass beads and the supernatant obtained after this lysis was analyzed by RP-HPLC using a C18 column. In the LycoYeast-pFRAMBOISE-fused strains, lycopene is converted into a new product with a higher retention time upon induction (Figure 1). Considering the yellow color of pFRAMBOISE-fused strains, as well as the in-line following β-ionone production results, this new peak most likely corresponds to β-carotene, the expected precursor, which means that the CrtY part is functional.

tr= retention time.


We concluded the CrtY side of our enzymatic fusion works in those lab conditions. The phCCD1 part still needs to be characterized.
