Engineering a promiscuous prenyltransferase for selective biosynthesis of an undescribed bioactive cannabinoid analog
Abstract Cannabinoids are unique meroterpenoids, with cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) serving as a dedicated precursor. This study introduces a fungal aromatic prenyltransferase AscC into the engineered Escherichia coli to catalyze the transfer of C5-C15 terpenoid linear precursors to olivetolic acid. Fo...
