    • The first two steps of the steroidogenic pathway were reproduced in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Engineering of sterol biosynthesis by disruption of the Δ22-desaturase gene and introduction of the Arabidopsis thaliana Δ7-reductase activity and coexpression of bovine side chain cleavage cytochrome P450, adrenodoxin, and adrenodoxin reductase, lead to pregnenolone biosynthesis from a simple carbon source. Following additional coexpression of human β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase/isomerase… CONTINUE READING
