Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We surveyed secondary metabolites occurring mainly in bamboo cells and identified feruloylputrescine and p-coumaroylputrescine, suggesting that phenylpropanoid and polyamine biosynthetic pathways are highly active, and the bamboo cells are suitable for the production of alternative secondary metabolites derived from those pathways. We next generated stable transformant of bamboo cells expressing agmatine coumaroyltransferase gene of barley in the expectation of metabolic-flow switching from hydroxycinnamoylputrescines to hydroxycinnamoylagmatines. As a result, in the recombinant cells, the putrescine amides content decreased and instead high content of agmatine amides was newly produced as expected, where the content of major product p-coumaroylagmatine reached approximately 350 mg per liter of culture. The results provide proof-of-concept to the usefulness of ‘rational metabolic-flow switching’ in synthetic biology using plant cell hosts.
