AbstractAcetyl-CoA is a fundamental metabolite for all life on Earth, and is also a key starting point for the biosynthesis of a variety of industrial chemicals and natural products. Here we design and construct a Synthetic Acetyl-CoA (SACA) pathway by repurposing glycolaldehyde synthase and acetyl-phosphate synthase. First, we design and engineer glycolaldehyde synthase to improve catalytic activity more than 70-fold, to condense two molecules of formaldehyde into one glycolaldehyde. Second, we repurpose a phosphoketolase to convert glycolaldehyde into acetyl-phosphate. We demonstrated the feasibility of the SACA pathway in vitro, achieving a carbon yield similar to 50%, and confirmed the SACA pathway by C-13-labeled metabolites. Finally, the SACA pathway was verified by cell growth using glycolaldehyde, formaldehyde and methanol as supplemental carbon source. The SACA pathway is proved to be the shortest, ATP-independent, carbon-conserving and oxygen-insensitive pathway for acetylCoA biosynthesis, opening possibilities for producing acetyl-CoA-derived chemicals from one-carbon resources in the future.
