Anaplerosis, a feature of metabolism, has been applied to synthetic in vitro metabolic networks to achieve carbon-positive synthesis of compounds. In this research, anaplerotic strategies were used to access a new-to-nature CO2-fixation pathway and successfully produce 6-deoxyerythronolide B. This work demonstrates the design and customization of anaplerotic modules to enhance and expand synthetic capabilities in complex in vitro reaction networks.
Anaplerosis is an essential feature of metabolism that allows the continuous operation of natural metabolic networks, such as the citric acid cycle, by constantly replenishing drained intermediates. However, this concept has not been applied to synthetic in vitro metabolic networks, thus far. Here we used anaplerotic strategies to directly access the core sequence of the CETCH cycle, a new-to-nature in vitro CO2-fixation pathway that features several C-3-C-5 biosynthetic precursors. We drafted four different anaplerotic modules that use CO2 to replenish the CETCH cycle's intermediates and validated our designs by producing 6-deoxyerythronolide B (6-DEB), the C-21-macrolide backbone of erythromycin. Our best design allowed the carbon-positive synthesis of 6-DEB via 54 enzymatic reactions in vitro at yields comparable to those with isolated 6-DEB polyketide synthase (DEBS). Our work showcases how new-to-nature anaplerotic modules can be designed and tailored to enhance and expand the synthetic capabilities of complex catalytic in vitro reaction networks.
