  • GENETICALLY MODIFIED CELLS AND METHODS FOR CONVERTING (R)-METHYLMALONYL COA TO (S)-METHYLMALONYL COA
    Publication number: 20090098615
    Abstract: Recombinant Escherichia coli host cells that comprise recombinant DNA expression vectors that drive expression of methylmalonyl CoA mutase from Propionibacterium shermanii or Streptomyces cinnamonensis as well as Propionibacterium shermanii epimerase can produce S-methylmalonyl CoA, a required substrate for the production of polyketides by most modular polyketide synthases not present in wild-type E. coli host cells.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 5, 2007
    Publication date: April 16, 2009
    Inventors: Daniel SANTI, Larry Peck, Linda Dayem, James Kealey
