  • Host cells and methods for reducing isoprenoid precursors and isoprenoids by geranylgeranyl reductase
    Patent number: 12365905
    Abstract: The present invention provides for a genetically modified host cell capable of reducing one or more isoprenoid, or precursor thereof, said genetically modified host cell comprising one or more geranylgeranyl reductases (GGRs), or polypeptides comprising an amino acid sequence having at least 70% identity to an amino acid sequence of a geranylgeranyl reductase (GGR), wherein the polypeptide comprises the enzymatic activity for catalyzing one or more GGR catalyzed reactions, and/or reducing one or more C15 or C20 prenyl alcohols or prenyl pyrophosphates.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 22, 2025
    Assignee: THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA
    Inventors: Corey Meadows, Brett Garabedian, Florence Mingardon, Angelique Chanal, Taek Soon Lee
