mycosporine-glycine biosynthetic pathway

Our research has focused on two novel biosynthetic pathways found in two distinct algal species. A pathway ending in the production of two UV-protective compounds, shinorine and mycosporine-glycine, was cloned from Anabaena varibalis. DHQS catalyzes the first step in the pathway, converting sedoheptulose-7-phosphate into dehydroquinate. Dehydroquinate-O-methyltransferase (O-MT) then generates 4-deoxygadusol, which is converted to mycosprine-glycine by ATP-grasp (ATPG).

This composite part contains protein generators for DHQS, O-MT and ATPG. E. coli transformed with this composite part are able to synthesize mycosporine-glycine, as detected by HPLC analysis of the media. 4-deoxygadusol is also detected in HPLC analysis.

Figure 1. HPLC data of a mycosporine glycine biosynthesis pathway. The DA construct is shown as a negative control, lacking mycosporine glycine and 4-deoxygadusol production. Clear peaks for these compounds are observed in the DOA sample.
