RECOMBINANT MICROORGANISM HAVING ENHANCED ABILITY TO PRODUCE HEME, COPROPORPHYRIN III, AND UROPORPHYRIN III, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING HEME, COPROPORPHYRIN III, AND UROPORPHYRIN III USING SAME

摘要

The present invention relates to a recombinant microorganism having an enhanced ability to produce heme, coproporphyrin III (Copro III), and uroporphyrin III (Uro III), and a method for producing heme, coproporphyrin III, and uroporphyrin III using same. When using a recombinant microorganism incorporating a gene that codes glutamyl-tRNA reductase (HemA), glutamate-1-semialdehyde aminotransferase (HemL), and diphtheria toxin repressor (DtxR), which is a transcription factor capable of inducing the expression of genes related to heme metabolic pathways, porphyrin-based structures can be produced at high yield, and thus the method is economic.
