Abstract Protoberberine alkaloids and benzophenanthridine alkaloids (BZDAs) are subgroups of benzylisoquinoline alkaloids (BIAs), which represent a diverse class of plant-specialized natural metabolites with many pharmacological properties. Microbial biosynthesis has been allowed for accessibility and scalable production of high-value BIAs. Here, we engineer Saccharomyces cerevisiae to de novo produce a series of protoberberines and BZDAs, including palmatine, berberine, chelerythrine, sanguinarine and chelirubine. An ER compartmentalization strategy is developed to improve vacuole protein berberine bridge enzyme (BBE) activity, resulting in >200% increase on the production of the key intermediate (S)-scoulerine. Another promiscuous vacuole protein dihydrobenzophenanthridine oxidase (DBOX) has been identified to catalyze two-electron oxidation on various tetrahydroprotoberberines at N7-C8 position and dihydrobenzophenanthridine alkaloids. Furthermore, cytosolically expressed DBOX can alleviate the limitation on BBE. This study highlights the potential of microbial cell factories for the biosynthesis of a diverse group of BIAs through engineering of heterologous plant enzymes. |
