Abstract: Described herein are prenyltransferases including non-natural variants thereof having at least one amino acid substitution as compared to its corresponding natural or unmodified prenyltransferases and that are capable of at least two-fold greater rate of formation of cannabinoids such as cannabigerolic acid, cannabigerovarinic acid, cannabigerorcinic acid, and cannabigerol, as compared to a wild type control. Prenyltransferase variants also demonstrated regioselectivity to desired cannabinoid isomers such as CDBA (3-GOLA), 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG (2-GOL). The prenyltransferase variants can be used to form prenylated aromatic compounds, and can be expressed in an engineered microbe having a pathway to such compounds, which include 3-GOLA, 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG. 3-GOLA can be used for the preparation of cannabigerol (CBG), which can be used in therapeutic compositions.

Abstract: A method and cell line for producing phytocannabinoids and phytocannabinoid analogues in yeast. The method applies, and the cell line includes, a yeast cell transformed with a polyketide synthase CDS and a cytosolic prenyltransferase CDS. The polyketide synthase enzyme catalyzes synthesis of olivetol or methyl-olivetol, and may include Cannabis sativa olivetolic acid synthase or Dictyostelium discoideum polyketide synthase (“DiPKS”). The yeast cell may be modified to include a phosphopantethienyl transferase for increased activity of DiPKS. The yeast cell may be modified to mitigate mitochondrial acetaldehyde catabolism for increasing malonyl-CoA available for synthesizing olivetol or methyl-olivetol. The prenyltransferase enzyme catalyzes synthesis of cannabigerol or a cannabigerol analogue, and may include an ???? cytosolic prenyltransferase enzyme from Streptomyces sp CL190.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of diverse known and novel cannabinoids 5, which include cannabigerol (CBG, 1), cannabigerolic acid (CBGA, 2), cannabigerovarin (CBGV, 3), cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA, 4) and other naturally occurring monocyclic cannabinoids and other analogues from simple inexpensive starting materials using a cascade sequence of allylic rearrangement and aromatization. Novel cannabinoids of series 5 are also claimed as part of the invention. These synthesized cannabinoids, unlike the minor cannabinoids isolated from Cannabis saliva or synthesized from the condensation reactions such as the reactions of substituted resorcinols with monoterpenes, are much easier to obtain at high purity levels. In particular, these cannabinoids, including but not limited to cannabigerol (CBG, 1), cannabigerolic acid (CBGA, 2), cannabigerovarin (CBGV, 3) and cannabigerovarinic acid (CBGVA, 4) are obtained without contamination with impurities with variation in RA and RB (e.g.

Prenyltransferase variants also accept different hydrophobic substrates (e.g., “donor” molecules), compared to wild type controls, to create different minor and novel cannabinoids. Prenyltransferase variants also demonstrated regioselectivity to desired cannabinoid isomers such as CBGA (3-GOLA), 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG (2-GOL). The prenyltransferase variants can be used to form prenylated aromatic compounds, and can be expressed in an engineered microbe having a pathway to such compounds, which include 3-GOLA, 3-GDVA, 3-GOSA, and CBG.
