The invention discloses an artificial synthesis method and application of
malonyl coenzyme A. An artificial synthesis
route for synthesizing malonyl-CoA by taking beta-
alanine (beta-ala) as a precursor is constructed by
heterologous expression of aminotransferase and malonyl-CoA
reductase: firstly, under the
catalysis of
transaminase, amino of beta-ala is transferred to alpha-
keto acid (such as
pyruvic acid,
oxaloacetic acid or alpha-
ketoglutaric acid and the like), and then the malonyl-CoA is obtained; an
intermediate product 3-oxopropionic acid and corresponding
amino acid are formed; and the malonyl-CoA is generated from the 3-oxopropionic acid under the action of the malonyl-CoA
reductase. According to the method, the defects existing in a natural malonyl-CoA synthesis
route, such as low
carbon utilization rate, energy substance ATP consumption,
greenhouse gas CO2 release, pyruvate
dehydrogenase (PDH) of
route enzymes and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) which are strictly regulated and controlled, are overcome, and high yield of products taking malonyl-CoA as a precursor, including light flavomycin, octanoic acid,
phloroglucinol, pentadecheptaene,
natamycin,
spinosad and the like, is realized.
