Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined the side-chain modification of reticuline by introducing glycosyltransferases or sulfotransferases into reticuline-producing system. In the reticuline-producing strain containing sulfotransferase (SULT1E1) from human, reticuline 3’-O-sulfate was produced from glucose at a yield of 222 mg/L. Furthermore, we showed that UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGT2B1) from rat and mouse catalyze the addition of a glucuronic acid moiety to reticuline.
