Engineering thioesterase as a driving force for novel itaconate production via its degradation scheme by Ryan S. Wang, Siang-Wun Siao, Jessica C. Wang, Patrick Y. Lin, Claire R. Shen

“…The preference of PaaI towards itaconyl-CoA hydrolysis over acetyl-CoA and (S)-citramalyl-CoA also minimized the inevitable precursor loss due to enzyme promiscuity. With acetate recycling, acetyl-CoA conservation, and condition optimization, we achieved a final itaconate titer of 1 g/L using the thioesterase driven pathway, which is a significant improvement compared to the original degradation pathway based on CoA transferase. …”
