Engineering chloramphenicol acetyltransferase (CAT) for enhanced retinyl acetate biosynthesis in Escherichia coli

Retinyl acetate, a stable and commercially valuable vitamin A derivative, is in high demand across the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries. However, microbial production of retinyl acetate remains constrained by inefficient terminal conversion of retinol to retinyl acetate and...

Design principles for stable and balanced multigene expression in plant synthetic biology

Abstract Plant synthetic biology is increasingly moving from single-gene transformation toward multigene systems that reconstruct metabolic pathways, produce valuable proteins, implement synthetic circuits, and respond to environmental inputs. However, stable multigene expression...
