Cannabidiol (CBD), the main nonpsychoactive cannabinoid in , has diverse applications in the pharmacological, food, and cosmetic industries. The long plantation period and the complex chemical structure of cannabidiol pose a great challenge on CBD supply. Here, we achieved biosynthesis of cannabidiol in . The CBD production was further enhanced by 2.53-fold through pushing the supply of precursors and fusion protein construction. Bile pigment transporter 1 (BPT1) was the most effective transporter for transferring cannabigerolic acid (CBGA) from the cytoplasm to the vacuole, which removed the physical barrier separating CBGA and its catalytic enzyme. The lowest binding energy of the CBGA-BPT1 complex confirmed a strong interaction between BPT1 and CBGA. A CBD yield of 6.92 mg/L was achieved, which was 100-fold higher than the yield generated by the starting strain. This study provides insights into high-level CBD-producing strain construction and lays the foundation for CBD supply.

We developed spatially detailed source-impact estimates of population health burden measures of air pollution for the United States and Canada by quantifying sources-receptor relationships using the benefit-per-ton (BPT) metric. We calculated BPTs as the valuations of premature mortality counts due to fine particulate matter (PM; particulate matter ≤2.5 μm in aerodynamic diameter) exposure resulting from emissions of one ton of a given pollutant.

Objective: To study the effect of the mutation in conserved G412E in Cct7p subunit of CCT complex on its cellular fate.

Results: TriC/CCT is a dynamic multimeric protein that assists in protein folding in an energy-dependent manner. A point mutation in the ATP binding pocket in the equatorial domain of the Cct7p subunit delays the doubling time.

ABC (ATP-binding cassette) proteins can transport metabolic molecules and removes metabolic products and xenobiotics from the cell. The important problem is to study activity and search inhibitors of ABC proteins. There is a problem that ABC-proteins can transport hydrophobic drugs across the cell membrane due to their high substrate specificity.
