The invention belongs to the technical field of
biology, and relates to a method for producing a
steroid compound by utilizing
saccharomyces cerevisiae. The method comprises the following steps: replacing a YPL062w
gene of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae with an
expression cassette of a PptHMGR
gene, replacing a DPP1
gene of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae with an
expression cassette of
ERG10,
ERG13 and tHMG1 genes, replacing an LPP1 gene of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae with an
expression cassette of
ERG12, ERG8, ERG19 and IDI1 genes, replacing an ROX1 gene of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae with an expression cassette of ERG20, ERG9 and ERG1 genes, and replacing an ARO10 gene of the
saccharomyces cerevisiae with an expression cassette of ERG11, ERG2 and ERG3 genes. An expression cassette of ERG1, DrDHCR7, GgDHCR24 and LEU2 genes is inserted into a
delta DNA multi-copy site, and a first recombinant strain capable of synthesizing
cholesterol is obtained; introducing a coding gene of an
enzyme required for synthesizing a target
steroid compound by taking
cholesterol as a precursor into the
genome of the first recombinant strain to obtain a second recombinant strain; and culturing the second recombinant strain and extracting the target
steroid compound. The method has a wide application prospect in
steroid compound production.
