Description
BmeTC_Y167A, D373C refers to a variant of the Tetraprenyl-beta-curcumene Cyclase from Bacillus megaterium (Genbank Accession: CP001982.1, 2130781–2132658) that contains two specific mutations: Y167A and D373C. Although BmeTC can only catalyze the bicyclic structure at the end of squalene, its variant BmeTC_D373C and BmeTC_Y167A, D373C possess the ability of catalyzing both monocyclic and bicyclic structure, which can produce ambrein. So far, it has been used in cell-free system with squalene as substrate, and can produce the highest yield of ambrein in all single enzyme reactions. (Tsutomu S. et al, 2020)
Our part can help and inspire other future teams to build and perfect the pathway of producing ambrein from squalene in yeast, with the regulation of pTDH3 and tTDH1. It belongs to the part collection we have established for the production of santalol and ambrein in S. cerevisiae, which includes BBa_K4805000-BBa_K4805012.

Characterization
We tried to insert all three genes of BmeTC_Y167A, D373C and BmeTC into the 106 site to construct our strain Lv2a-1 (Figure 1A), and the successful integration were confirmed in strain as the positive PCR results shown in Figure 1C.
Based on this synergistic effect that can promote the biosynthesis of ambrein, we presumed that using flexible linker to construct a fuison protein of BmeTC_Y167A, D373C and BmeTC could remarkably improve the yield of ambrein. To verify our assumption, we integrated BmeTC-Flexible Linker-BmeTC_Y167A, D373C into 106 site (Figure 1B, D).
Figure 1. (A) Schematic strategy of BmeTC_Y167A, D373C and BmeTC integration into the site 106. (B) Schematic strategy of BmeTC_Y167A, D373C-Flexible Linker-BmeTC integration into the site 106. (C) These two genes were confirmed to be inserted into site 106 in the strain 6 of Lv2a-1.(D) These two genes were confirmed to be inserted into site 106 in the strain 2-8 of Lv2a-2.
Unfortunately, we did not observe any peaks suspected of ambrein. But the reaction substrate, squalene, can be detected at 9.70-9.83 min. Compared with strain Lv1, the yield of squalene significantly decreased in different further modified strains. To be specific, the yield of squalene decrease up to 77.40% in strain Lv2a-1 and 90.69% in strain Lv2a-2. Although there's no ambrein can be detected, the decrease of squalene might indicate the synthesis of some potential intermediates. We will optimize our testing method and the specificity of cyclase to reach the goal of ambrein production.
