Abstract

Metabolic engineering of heterologous resveratrol production in faces challenges as the precursor L-tyrosine is stringently regulated by a complex biosynthetic system. We overexpressed the main gene targets in the upstream pathways to investigate their influences on the downstream resveratrol production. Single-gene overexpression and DNA assembly-directed multigene overexpression affect the production of resveratrol as well as its precursor -coumaric acid. Finally, the collaboration of selected gene targets leads to an optimal resveratrol production of 66.14±3.74 mg·L , 2.27 times higher than the initial production in YPD medium (4% glucose). The newly discovered gene targets expressing phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase, expressing 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase, and expressing 4-coumaryl-CoA ligase show notable positive impacts on resveratrol production in .
