The present disclosure provides genetically modified host cells that produce a cannabinoid, a cannabinoid derivative, a cannabinoid precursor, or a cannabinoid precursor derivative. The present disclosure provides methods of synthesizing a cannabinoid, a cannabinoid derivative, a cannabinoid precursor, or a cannabinoid precursor derivative.

This document relates to using bidirectional, multi-enzymatic scaffolds to biosynthesize cannabinoids in recombinant hosts.

Genetically engineered hosts and methods for their production and use in synthesizing hydrocarbons are provided.

This invention relates to the field of genetic engineering. Specifically, the invention relates to the construction of operons to produce biologically active agents. For example, operons may be constructed to produce agents that control the function of biochemical pathway proteins (e.g., protein phosphatases, kinases and/or proteases). Such agents may include inhibitors and modulators that may be used in studying or controlling phosphatase function associated with abnormalities in a phosphatase pathway or expression level. Fusion proteins, such as light activated protein phosphatases, may be genetically encoded and expressed as photoswitchable phosphatases. Systems are provided for use in controlling phosphatase function within living cells or in identifying small molecule inhibitors/activator/modulator molecules of protein phosphatases associated with cell signaling.

The present invention relates to a biomarker composition for diagnosing radiation-resistant cancer comprising PMVK as an active ingredient and a method of diagnosing radiation-resistant cancer using the same, and when the PMVK is knocked down, it is confirmed that the survival rate of cancer cells decreases during radiation treatment, and based on this, the possibility as a factor related to radiation therapy resistance to cancer was suggested, and the PMVK can be used as a new target to enhance the effect of radiation therapy on human cancer cells.

The present invention provides for a genetically modified yeast host cell capable of producing elevated levels of 3-methyl-3-butene-1-ol or isoprenol.

This document relates to using bidirectional, multi-enzymatic scaffolds to biosynthesize cannabinoids in recombinant hosts.

A method for producing isoprene includes culturing E. coli, which has isoprene productivity and in which a gene encoding a recA protein is attenuated or deleted, in a medium containing a carbon source. Therefore, a great amount of isoprene may be produced within a short period of time, and thereby considerably decreasing isoprene production unit costs.

The invention provides a method for producing a terpene or a precursor thereof by microbial fermentation. Typically, the method involves culturing a recombinant bacterium in the presence of a gaseous substrate whereby the bacterium produces a terpene or a precursor thereof, such as mevalonic acid, isopentenyl pyrophosphate, dimethylallyl pyrophosphate, isoprene, geranyl pyrophosphate, farnesyl pyrophosphate, and/or farnesene. The bacterium may comprise one or more exogenous enzymes, such as enzymes in mevalonate, DXS, or terpene biosynthesis pathways.
