Fatty acid synthesis (FADNS) is a critical process in lipogenesis that is characteristically altered in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), which is the major type of kidney cancer. An important challenge in studying the FADNS process has been the accurate measurement of cytosolic lipogenic acetyl-CoA (AcCoA), the precursor in FADNS, due to its compartmentalization within cells. Here, we describe a novel NMR-based method to decode the isotopic enrichment of lipogenic AcCoA, which, as we demonstrated, is encoded in the simple signal ratios of the geminal methyl groups of lanosterol during its biosynthesis.

Phytoene, a colorless carotenoid with unique ultraviolet (UV)-B absorption properties, offers potential for applications in functional food, cosmetics, and therapeutics. However, their low natural yield poses a challenge for large-scale production. This study aims to enhance phytoene production in the oleaginous yeast by introducing a heterologous phytoene synthase gene combined with metabolic engineering approaches.

The budding yeast, , has a high tolerance to organic acids and alcohols, and thus grows well under toxic concentrations of various compounds in the culture medium, potentially allowing for highly efficient compound production. ()-citramalate is a raw material for methyl methacrylate and can be used as a metabolic intermediate in the biosynthesis of higher alcohols. ()-citramalate is synthesized from pyruvate and acetyl-CoA.

It also tightly associates with lipid droplets (LDs), which are essential for virion morphogenesis. In particular acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1), a rate-limiting enzyme in triglyceride synthesis, promotes early steps of virus assembly.
