Title:
RECOMBINANT YEAST STRAIN HAVING STEROL PRODUCTIVITY, PREPARATION METHOD THEREFOR AND USE THEREOF
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/022847
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
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.
