Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of biocatalysis and metabolic engineering, and in particular relates to a biosynthesis method of N-methylpyrroline. Background technique
[0002] The compound N-methylpyrrolinium shown in formula I (N-methylpyrrolinium), mainly exists in the form of salt, and molecular formula is C 5 h 10 N + , forming equilibrium with N-methylaminobutyraldehyde in a certain solution environment) is a common key intermediate in the biosynthetic pathway of nicotine from plant sources and plant natural product drugs tropium alkaloids. The biosynthetic route of N-methylpyrroline starting from L-ornithine is reported ((Chase et al.2003; 2004; et al.2005; Ruetsch et al.2001.), see appendix figure 1 , including three steps: L-ornithine is catalyzed by ornithine decarboxylase to generate putrescine, putrescine is catalyzed by N-methyltransferase to generate N-methylated putrescine, N-methylated putrescine It is further cata...
