ABSTRACT
Violaxanthin is a plant-derived orange xanthophyll with remarkable antioxidant activity that has wide applications in various industries, such as food, agriculture, and cosmetics. In addition, it is the key precursor of important substances such as abscisic acid and fucoxanthin. Saccharomyces cerevisiae, as a GRAS (generally regarded as safe) chassis, provides a good platform for producing violaxanthin production with a yield of 7.3 mg/g DCW, which is far away from commercialization. Herein, an integrated strategy involving zeaxanthin epoxidase (ZEP) source screening, cytosol redox state engineering, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) regeneration was implemented to enhance violaxanthin production in S. cerevisiae. 58aa-truncated ZEP from Vitis vinifera exhibited optimal efficiency in an efficient zeaxanthin-producing strain. The titer of violaxanthin gradually increased by 17.9-fold (up to 119.2 mg/L, 15.19 mg/g DCW) via cytosol redox state engineering and NADPH supplementation. Furthermore, balancing redox homeostasis considerably improved the zeaxanthin concentration by 139.3% (up to 143.9 mg/L, 22.06 mg/g DCW). Thus, the highest reported titers of violaxanthin and zeaxanthin in S. cerevisiae were eventually achieved. This study not only builds an efficient platform for violaxanthin biosynthesis but also serves as a useful reference for the microbial production of xanthophylls.
