Recombinant yeast strain having sterol productivity, preparation method therefor and use thereof
The present invention relates to a recombinant yeast strain having sterol productivity, a preparation method therefor and a use thereof, and more specifically, to a recombinant yeast strain capable of producing cholesterol and cholesterol precursors in a high yield through the deletion of ERG5 and ERG6 genes and the introduction of DHCR24 and DHCR7 genes by codon-optimizing same in multiple or with a codon context method; and a production method therefor and a use thereof. In addition, disclosed are: a method for producing a recombinant yeast strain with increased production yields of cholesterol and cholesterol precursors by the additional introduction of gene tHMG1, ERG2, ERG3, ERG27, or UPC2-1 in the prepared recombinant yeast strain; and a use thereof.
Method for the hydroxylation of steroids
The present invention relates to a method of preparing a steroid comprising the step of converting a 7-deoxysteroid with a cytochrome P450 enzyme or a functional variant thereof in the presence of at least one redox partner system and a system for regenerating the redox partner system.
