In this study, a recombinant Escherichia coli strain was constructed by overexpressing the phenylpyruvate decarboxylase ARO10 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, which could produce tyrosol from glucose. Furthermore,genes encoding key enzymes from the competing phenylalanine and tyrosine synthesis pathways and the repression protein TyrR were eliminated, and the resulting engineered strain generated 3.57 mmol·L^(-1) tyrosol from glucose. More significantly, codon optimization of ARO10 increased expression and tyrosol titer. Using the novel engineered strain expressing codon-optimized AR10 in shake-flask culture, 8.72 mmol·L^(-1) tyrosol was obtained after 48 h. Optimization of the induction conditions improved tyrosol production to 9.53 mmol·L^(-1)(1316.3 mg·L^(-1)). A higher titer of tyrosol was achieved by reconstruction of tyrosol synthetic pathway in E. coli.展开更多

Toll like receptor (TLR) agonists with the ability to stimulate immune response have been widely investigated and been applied as build-in adjuvants to construct fully synthetic vaccines. In particular, remarkable progress has been achieved in recent years in the development of vaccines constructed with the agonists of TLRI]2, TLR2/6 and TLR4 and tumor-associated carbohydrate antigens (TACAs). These di-, tri- or multi-component vaccine candidates showed attractive immunologi- cal properties. This review highlights recent advances in developing full synthetic carbohydrate antigen based vaccines, with an emphasis on the structure-activity relationships that provide a primary basis for future vaccine design and immunotherapy developing.展开更多

They usually displayed unique constrained structure, enhanced proteolytic stability, and other drug-like character; and have been widely used in medicinal chemistry. Therefore, development of efficient strategies for the synthesis of cyclopeptidomimetics has received many attentions. On-resin cyclization strategy is one of the effective approaches developed to overcome the competing side reaction such as oligomerization and cyclooligomers occurred in solution cyclization. This approach took advantage of the "pseudo-dilution" effect to avoid these undesired by-products and greatly simplified the downstream product purification process. This review summarized the recent on-resin peptide cyclization strategies for the synthesis of cvclooeotidomimetics.展开更多
