Abstract
In this study, we proposed a biological approach to efficiently produce pseudouridine (Ψ) from glucose and uracil in vivo using engineered Escherichia coli. By screening host strains and core enzymes, E. coli MG1655 overexpressing Ψ monophosphate (ΨMP) glycosidase and ΨMP phosphatase was obtained, which displayed the highest Ψ concentration. Then, optimization of the RBS sequences, enhancement of ribose 5-phosphate supply in the cells, and overexpression of the membrane transport protein UraA were investigated. Finally, fed-batch fermentation of Ψ in a 5 L fermentor can reach 27.5 g/L with a yield of 89.2 mol % toward uracil and 25.6 mol % toward glucose within 48 h, both of which are the highest to date. In addition, the Ψ product with a high purity of 99.8% can be purified from the fermentation broth after crystallization. This work provides an efficient and environmentally friendly protocol for allowing for the possibility of Ψ bioproduction on an industrial scale.

Abstract
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) has recently attracted much attention due to its role in aging and lifespan extension. NAD+ directly and indirectly affects many cellular processes, including metabolic pathways, DNA repair, and immune cell activities. These mechanisms are critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis. However, the decline in NAD+ levels with aging impairs tissue function, which has been associated with several age-related diseases. In fact, the aging population has been steadily increasing worldwide, and it is important to restore NAD+ levels and reverse or delay these age-related disorders. Therefore, there is an increasing demand for healthy products that can mitigate aging, extend lifespan, and halt age-related consequences. In this case, several studies in humans and animals have targeted NAD+ metabolism with NAD+ intermediates. Among them, nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN), a precursor in the biosynthesis of NAD+, has recently received much attention from the scientific community for its anti-aging properties. In model organisms, ingestion of NMN has been shown to improve age-related diseases and probably delay death. Here, we review aspects of NMN biosynthesis and the mechanism of its absorption, as well as potential anti-aging mechanisms of NMN, including recent preclinical and clinical tests, adverse effects, limitations, and perceived challenges.

Abstract
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) has garnered substantial interest as a functional food product. Industrial NMN production relies on chemical methods, facing challenges in separation, purification, and regulatory complexities, leading to elevated prices. In contrast, NMN biosynthesis through fermentation or enzyme catalysis offers notable benefits like eco-friendliness, recyclability, and efficiency, positioning it as a primary avenue for future NMN synthesis. Enzymatic NMN synthesis encompasses the nicotinamide-initial route and nicotinamide ribose-initial routes. Key among these is nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK), pivotal in the latter route. The NRK-mediated biosynthesis is emerging as a prominent trend due to its streamlined route, simplicity, and precise specificity. The essential aspect is to obtain an engineered NRK that exhibits elevated activity and robust stability. This review comprehensively assesses diverse NMN synthesis methods, offering valuable insights into efficient, sustainable, and economical production routes. It spotlights the emerging NRK-mediated biosynthesis pathway and its significance. The establishment of an adenosine triphosphate (ATP) regeneration system plays a pivotal role in enhancing NMN synthesis efficiency through NRK-catalyzed routes. The review aims to be a reference for researchers developing green and sustainable NMN synthesis, as well as those optimizing NMN production.

Abstract
Enzymatic synthesis of β-nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) from D-ribose has garnered widespread attention due to its cheap material, the use of mild reaction conditions, and the ability to produce highly pure products with the desired optical properties. However, the overall NMN yield of this method is impeded by the low activity of rate-limiting enzymes. The ribose-phosphate diphosphokinase (PRS) and nicotinamide phosphoribosyltransferase (NAMPT), that control the rate of the reaction, were engineered to improve the reaction efficacy. The actives of mutants PRS-H150Q and NAMPT-Y15S were 334% and 57% higher than that of their corresponding wild-type enzymes, respectively. Furthermore, by adding pyrophosphatase, the byproduct pyrophosphate which can inhibit the activity of NAMPT was degraded, leading to a 6.72% increase in NMN yield. Following with reaction-process reinforcement, a high yield of 8.10 g L-1 NMN was obtained after 3 h of reaction, which was 56.86-fold higher than that of the stepwise reaction synthesis (0.14 g L-1 ), indicating that the in vitro enzymatic synthesis of NMN from D-ribose and niacinamide is an economical and feasible route.

Abstract
Nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) subsists in all living organisms and has drawn tremendous attention as a nutraceutical and pharmaceutical product for several diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, aging, and vascular dysfunction. Here, NMN was produced intracellularly in a high cell density bioreactor using an engineered Escherichiacoli strain via exponential feeding of co-substrates. Fed-batch culture via exponential feeding of co-substrate (glucose) and continuous feeding of substrate (nicotinamide) were performed using different cumulative nicotinamide concentrations. The highest concentration of 19.3 g/L NMN with a dry cell weight of 117 g/L was acquired from a cumulative nicotinamide concentration of 7.2 g/L with a conversion of 98 % from nicotinamide in 28 h. Further, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis validated the NMN production. This approach will be beneficial in achieving simultaneously low cost and ensuring high quality and quantity of NMN production.

Abstract
IMPORTANCE The adenosine 5'-triphosphate (ATP) regeneration system can significantly reduce the cost of many biocatalytic processes. Numerous studies have endeavored to utilize the ATP regeneration system based on Cytophaga hutchinsonii PPK (ChPPK). However, the wild-type ChPPK enzyme possesses limitations such as low enzymatic activity, poor stability, and limited substrate tolerance, impeding its application in catalytic reactions. To enhance the performance of ChPPK, we employed a semi-rational design approach to obtain the variant ChPPK/A79G/S106C/I108F/L285P. The enzymatic kinetic parameters and the catalytic performance in the synthesis of nicotinamide mononucleotide demonstrated that the variant ChPPK/A79G/S106C/I108F/L285P exhibited superior enzymatic properties than the wild-type enzyme. All data indicated that our engineered ATP regeneration system holds inherent potential for implementation in biocatalytic processes.

Abstract
Pseudouridine-incorporated mRNA vaccines can enhance protein expression and reduce immunogenicity, leading to a high demand for pseudouridine to be used in mRNA drug production. To achieve the low-cost production of pseudouridine, Escherichia coli was systematically modified to utilize inexpensive raw materials to efficiently produce pseudouridine. First, in the pyrimidine biosynthesis pathway, genes related to the precursor competing pathway and the negative regulator were deleted, which increased pseudouridine production. Second, two critical genes, pseudouridine-5'-phosphate glycosidase (psuG) and phosphatase genes from different bacteria, were screened and employed in various genetic constructs, and the pseudouridine yield of the optical strain increased to 599 mg/L. The accumulation of pseudouridine was further increased by the deletion of pseudouridine catabolism-related genes. Ultimately, the pseudouridine titer in a 5 L bioreactor reached 7.9 g/L, and the yield of pseudouridine on glucose was 0.15 g/g. Overall, a cell factory producing pseudouridine was successfully constructed and showed potential for industrial production.

Abstract
Phycocyanobilin (PCB) is widely used in healthcare, food processing, and cosmetics. Escherichia coli is the common engineered bacterium used to produce PCB. However, it still suffers from low production level, precursor deficiency, and low catalytic efficiency. In this study, a highly efficient PCB-producing strain was created. First, chassis strains and enzyme sources were screened, and copy numbers were optimized, affording a PCB titer of 9.1 mg/L. Most importantly, the rate-limiting steps of the PCB biosynthetic pathway were determined, and the supply of precursors necessary for PCB synthesis was increased from endogenous sources, affording a titer of 21.4 mg/L. Then, the key enzymes for PCB synthesis, HO1 and PcyA, were assembled into a multi-enzyme complex using the short peptide tag RIAD-RIDD, and 23.5 mg/L of PCB was obtained. Finally, the basic conditions for PCB fermentation were initially determined in 250 mL shake flasks and a 5-L bioreactor to obtain higher titers of PCB. The final titer of PCB reached 147.0 mg/L, which is the highest reported titer of PCB so far. This research provided the foundation for the industrial production of PCB and its derivatives.

Abstract
Nicotinamide riboside (NR), a key biosynthetic precursor of NAD+, is receiving increasing attention because of its role. In this study, a whole-cell catalysis method to efficiently synthesize NR was established. First, the performance of 5'-nucleotidase (UshA) from Escherichia coli was confirmed to have high catalytic activity to synthesize NR. Then, the endogenous NR degradation pathway was detected, and the genes (rihA, rihB, and rihC) involved in NR degradation were knocked out, which enabled NR biosynthesis. In addition, the important role of the signal peptide of UshA in NR transport had been confirmed. Subsequently, nitrile hydratase was introduced to achieve the conversion of 3-cyanopyridine to NR. Finally, the NR titer reached 25.6 and 29.8 g/L with nicotinamide and 3-cyanopyridine, respectively, as substrates in a 5-L bioreactor, the efficient biosynthesis of NR in E. coli by using nicotinamide and 3-cyanopyridine.

Abstract
Engineering biological systems to test new pathway variants containing different enzyme homologs is laborious and time-consuming. To tackle this challenge, a strategy was developed for rapidly prototyping enzyme homologs by combining cell-free protein synthesis (CFPS) with split green fluorescent protein (GFP). This strategy featured two main advantages: (1) dozens of enzyme homologs were parallelly produced by CFPS within hours, and (2) the expression level and activity of each homolog was determined simultaneously by using the split GFP assay. As a model, this strategy was applied to optimize a 3-step pathway for nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) synthesis. Ten enzyme homologs from different organisms were selected for each step. Here, the most productive homolog of each step was identified within 24 h rather than weeks or months. Finally, the titer of NMN was increased to 1213 mg/L by improving physiochemical conditions, tuning enzyme ratios and cofactor concentrations, and decreasing the feedback inhibition, which was a more than 12-fold improvement over the initial setup. This strategy would provide a promising way to accelerate design-build-test cycles for metabolic engineering to improve the production of desired products.

Abstract
l-Homoserine is an important platform compound that is widely used to produce many valuable bio-based products, but production of l-homoserine in Corynebacterium glutamicum remains low. In this study, an efficient l-homoserine-producing strain was constructed. Native pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) was enhanced and heterologous Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathway was carefully introduced into l-homoserine-producing strain, which increased the l-homoserine titer. Coexpression of NADH-dependent aspartate-4-semialdehyde dehydrogenase and aspartate dehydrogenase could increase the titer from 11.3 to 13.3 g/L. Next, NADP+-dependent glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (NADP-GPD) was coexpressed with that of NAD+-dependent (NAD-GPD) to construct dual-channel glycolysis for balance of intracellular cofactors, which increased the l-homoserine titer by 48.6 % to 16.8 g/L. Finally, engineered strain Cg18-1 accumulated 63.5 g/L l-homoserine after 96 h in a 5 L bioreactor, the highest titer reported to date for C. glutamicum. This dual-channel glycolysis strategy provides a reference for automatic cofactor regulation to promote efficient biosynthesis of other target products.

Abstract
Nicotinamide riboside kinase (NRK) plays an important role in the synthesis of β -nicotinamide nucleotide (NMN). NMN is a key intermediate of NAD+ synthesis, and it actually contribute to the well-being of our health. In this study, gene mining technology was used to clone nicotinamide nucleoside kinase gene fragments from S. cerevisiae, and the ScNRK1 was achieved a high level of soluble expression in E. coli BL21. Then, the reScNRK1 was immobilized by metal affinity label to optimize the enzyme performance. The results showed that the enzyme activity in the fermentation broth was 14.75 IU/mL, and the specific enzyme activity after purification was 2252.59 IU/mg. After immobilization, the optimum temperature of the immobilized enzyme was increased by 10°C compared with the free enzyme, and the temperature stability was improved with little change in pH. Moreover, the activity of the immobilized enzyme remained above 80% after four cycles of immobilized reScNRK1, which makes the enzyme more advantageous in the enzymatic synthesis of NMN.
