    Abstract The isoflavones are a group of plant secondary metabolites primarily synthesized in legumes and are known for their role in improving human health and plant disease resistance. The isoflavones, especially genistein, act as precursors for the production of phytoalexins, which may induce broad-spectrum disease resistance in plants. In this study, we screened transgenic rice lines expressing the isoflavone synthase (GmIFS1) gene from soybean for rice blast (Magnaporthe oryzae) resistance. Two homozygous transgenic lines (I2 and I10), based on single copy gene integration, were identified. The expression of GmIFS1 in transgenic lines was confirmed by quantitative real-time PCR. Genistein was detected in the transgenic lines using liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. Subsequently, the transgenic lines were evaluated against the rice blast pathogen, isolate YJ54 (race IB-54). The results indicated that >60% of the plants in both the lines (I2 and I10) showed resistance against the blast pathogen. The progenies of one of the resistant transgenic lines (I10) also showed >65% resistance against rice blast. The resistance of these transgenic lines against rice blast may be attributed to the synthesis of isoflavone (genistein) in rice.

    Abstract Steviol glucosides, such as stevioside and rebaudioside A, are natural products roughly 200-fold sweeter than sugar and are used as natural, noncaloric sweeteners. Biosynthesis of rebaudioside A, and other related stevia glucosides, involves formation of the steviol diterpenoid followed by a series of glycosylations catalyzed by uridine diphosphate (UDP)-dependent glucosyltransferases.

    Abstract Resveratrol is a polyphenolic compound produced by a few higher plants when under attack by pathogens such as bacteria or fungi. Besides antioxidant benefits to humans, this health-promoting compound has been reported to extend longevity in yeasts, flies, worms, fishes and obesity mice. Here we utilized the synthetic scaffolds strategy to improve resveratrol production in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We observed a 5.0-fold improvement over the non-scaffolded control, and a 2.7-fold increase over the previous reported with fusion protein. This work demonstrated the synthetic scaffolds can be used for the optimization of engineered metabolic pathway.

    Abstract In addressing caffeine toxicity to the producing cells, engineering a transporter that can move caffeine from cytoplasm across the cell membrane to the extracellular space, thus enhancing caffeine resistance and potentially increasing the yield in yeast, is important. An ABC-transporter bfr1 from Schizosaccharomyces pombe was cloned and transformed into S. cerevisiae, resulting in enhancing caffeine resistance. Afterward, a library of randomly mutagenized bfr1 mutants through error-prone PCR was generated. One mutant was identified with drastically increased caffeine resistance (15 mg/mL). Sequencing and structural analysis illustrated that many of the mutations occurred at the cytosolic domain. Site-directed mutagenesis of these mutations confirmed at least one amino acid that conferred enhancing caffeine resistance in the mutated bfr1. These data demonstrated engineering ABC-transporters can be an efficient way to reduce product toxicity in heterologous systems.

    Abstract Malonyl-CoA is the essential building block of natural products such as fatty acids, polyketides, and flavonoids. Engineering the biosynthesis of fatty acids is important for biofuel production while that of polyketides provides precursors of medicines and nutritional supplements. However, microorganisms maintain a small amount of cellular malonyl-CoA, which could limit production of lipid and polyketides under certain conditions. Malonyl-CoA concentration is regulated by multiple pathways and signals, and changes in intracellular malonyl-CoA often lead to complex alterations in metabolism. In the present work, overexpression of a plant malonyl-CoA synthetase gene (AAE13) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae resulted in 1.6- and 2.4-fold increases in lipid and resveratrol accumulation simultaneously. We also demonstrated that AAE13 partially complemented the temperature-sensitive acc1 mutant, replacing this key enzyme in central metabolism. Mechanistic analysis by CoA quantification and transcriptomic measurement suggested that increases in malonyl-CoA concentration were coupled with drastic reductions in other major CoA compounds and clear suppression of tricarboxylic acid cycle-related genes. These results suggest that malonyl-CoA is a critical target for fatty acid and polyketide engineering and that overexpression of malonyl-CoA synthetic enzymes needs to be combined with upregulation of CoA synthesis to maintain metastasis of central metabolism.

    Abstract The roles of auxin in the regulation of symbiotic legume nodule formation are unclear. We recently showed that enhanced sensitivity to auxin resulting from overexpression of miR160 inhibits determinate nodule formation in soybean. We examined the roles of miR393 and miR164 in soybean (that forms determinate nodules) and Medicago truncatula (that forms indeterminate nodules). Our results together with previous studies suggest that indeterminate nodule formation requires a higher, but narrow window of auxin sensitivity and that miR164 regulation is not crucial for determinate nodule formation.
