Raspberry ketone has generated interest in recent years both as a flavor agent and as a health promoting supplement. Raspberry ketone can be synthesized chemically, but the value of a natural nonsynthetic product is among the most valuable flavor compounds on the market. Coumaroyl-coenzyme A (CoA) is the direct precursor for raspberry ketone but also an essential precursor for flavonoid and lignin biosynthesis in plants and therefore highly regulated. The synthetic fusion of 4-coumaric acid ligase (4CL) and benzalacetone synthase (BAS) enables the channeling of coumaroyl-CoA from the ligase to the synthase, proving to be a powerful tool in the production of raspberry ketone in both N. benthamianaand S. cerevisiae. To the best of our knowledge, the key pathway genes for raspberry ketone formation are transiently expressed in N. benthamianafor the first time in this study, producing over 30 μg/g of the compound. Our raspberry ketone producing yeast strains yielded up to 60 mg/L, which is the highest ever reported in yeast. |
