Metabolic Engineering of Saccharomyces cerevisiae for de Novo Dihydroniloticin Production Using Novel CYP450 from Neem (Azadirachta indica)

Azadirachtin, a limonoid isolated from the neem tree, has attracted considerable interest due to its excellent performance in pest control. Studies have also reported pharmaceutical activities of dihydroniloticin, an intermediate in azadirachtin biosynthesis, but these pharmaceutical activities could not be validated due to the limited supply. In this study, AiCYP71CD2 was first identified as involved in azadirachtin biosynthesis in neem by expressing it in Nicotiana benthamiana and yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae). Homology modeling and molecular docking analysis revealed that AiCYP71CD2 may exhibit a higher ability in catalyzing tirucalla-7,24-dien-3β-ol into dihydroniloticin compared with MaCYP71CD2 from Melia azedarach L. G310 was identified as the critical residue responsible for the higher catalytic ability of AiCYP71CD2. Condon-Optimized AiCYP71CD2 greatly improved the catalytic efficiency in yeast. De novo dihydroniloticin production using the novel AiCYP71CD2 was achieved by constructing the S. cerevisiae DI-3 strain, and the titer could reach up to 405 mg/L in a fermentor, which was an alternative source for dihydroniloticin.
