Embodiment 1

[0405] Example 1: Preparation and use of exemplary genes and host cells of the invention

[0406] This example describes the preparation and use of exemplary host cells of the invention to produce 1,4-androsdiene-3,17-dione (ADD) and related pathway compounds, including 20-(hydroxymethyl)pregna- 4-en-3-one and 20-(hydroxymethyl)pregna-1,4-dien-3-one.

[0407] In one aspect, the modified host cells of the invention provided by the invention are bacterial cells, such as Mycobacterium strains, such as those designated B3683 (see, e.g., Pérez et al. (1995) Biotechnology Letters 17(11):1241-1246) and B3805 (See e.g., (1998) Acta Microbiol Pol. 47(4):335-343) Mycobacterium strains. Mycobacterium sp. B3683 was produced by mutagenesis from soil isolates to eliminate complete degradation of phytosterols and to be able to produce ADD and AD. Because the B3683 strain produced significantly more ADD than AD, Mycobacterium sp. B3805 was derived from B3683 by mutagenesis to reduce ADD p...

Abstract

The invention provides compositions and methods for producing androstenedione (4-androstenedione), of improved purity and for modulating its production, for example by deletion or inactivation of ksdA, cxgA, cxgB, cxgC, or cxgD. The invention also provides methods and compositions, including nucleic acids that encode enzymes, for producing 1,4-androstadiene-3,17-dione (ADD) and related pathway compounds, including 20-(hydroxymethyl) pregna-4-en-3-one and 20-(hydroxymethyl)pregna-1,4-dien-3-one. The compositions of the invention include nucleic acids, probes, vectors, cells, transgenic plants and seeds, transgenic animals, kits and arrays.
