Miltiradiene is a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of many important natural diterpene compounds with significant pharmacol. activity, including triptolide, tanshinones, carnosic acid and carnosol. Sufficient accumulation of miltiradiene is vital for the production of these medicinal compounds In this study, comprehensive engineering strategies were applied to construct a high-yielding miltiradiene producing yeast strain. First, a chassis strain that can accumulate 2.1 g L-1 geranylgeraniol was constructed. Then, diterpene synthases from various species were evaluated for their ability to produce miltiradiene, and a chimeric miltiradiene synthase, consisting of class II diterpene synthase (di-TPS) CfTPS1 from Coleus forskohlii (Plectranthus barbatus) and class I di-TPS SmKSL1 from Salvia miltiorrhiza showed the highest efficiency in the conversion of GGPP to miltiradiene in yeast. Moreover, the miltiradiene yield was further improved by protein modification, which resulted in a final yield of 550.7 mg L-1 in shake flasks and 3.5 g L-1 in a 5-L bioreactor. This work offers an efficient and green process for the production of the important intermediate miltiradiene, and lays a foundation for further pathway reconstruction and the biotechnol. production of valuable natural diterpenes.
24034-73-9, Geranylgeraniol is a diterpenoid that is hexadeca-2,6,10,14-tetraene substituted by methyl groups at positions 3, 7, 11 and 15 and a hydroxy group at position 1. It has a role as a plant metabolite, a volatile oil component and an antileishmanial agent. It is a diterpenoid and a polyprenol.
Geranylgeraniol, a precursor to geranylgeranylpyrophosphate, is an intermediate in the mevalonate pathway. Geranylgeraniol has been shown to prevent bone re-absorption, inhibition of osteoclast formation, and kinase activation in vitro. When working with statins, Geranylgeraniol can reduce the toxicity without inhibiting the cholesterol-producing effects. Geranylgeraniol has been documented to counteract the effects of fluvastatin by inhibiting activation of caspase-1 and production of IL-1. Additionally Geranylgeraniol has been found to induce apoptosis in HL-60 cells.
