✦ Synopsis

The metabolic engineering of natural products has begun to prosper in the past few years due to genomic research and the discovery of biosynthetic genes. While the biosynthetic pathways and genes for some isoprenoids have been known for many years, new pathways have been found and known pathways have been further investigated. In this article, we review the recent advances in metabolic engineering of isoprenoids, focusing on the molecular genetics that affects pathway engineering the most. Examples in mono- sequi-, and diterpenoid synthesis as well as carotenoid production are discussed.

Construction of a gene expression system in tobacco cultured cells (BY2) was studied. A 925 bp promoter fragment of a heat-shock protein gene (HSP18.2) of Arabidopsis thaliana showed clear heat-shock response of expression of the ␤-glucuronidase (GUS) reporter gene in BY2 cells.
