Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinant host cells comprising a pathway capable of producing a cannabinoid and a nucleic acid derived from a Cannabis trichome mRNA that that does not encode an enzyme in the pathway but enhances the host cells' ability to produce the cannabinoid. The disclosure also provides methods of using host cells to produce cannabinoids.
Abstract: The present disclosure provides recombinant host cells comprising a pathway capable of producing a cannabinoid and/or cannabinoid precursor, wherein the pathway comprises an enzyme AAE from a source organism other than Cannabis sativa, such as Humulus lupulus. The disclosure also provides methods of using the host cells to produce rare cannabinoids and/or rare cannabinoid precursors.
