Pathway Edits

  • BAHD-ATC1 (BAHD acyltransferase 1) codon-optimized overexpression for menthyl ester synthesis
  • AAT2 (alcohol acyltransferase 2) upregulation cassette for ester bond formation
  • PS (pulegone synthase) upregulation for elevated menthol precursor substrate pool
  • Acetyl-CoA supply enhancement cassette for ester substrate availability
  • Menthyl ester hydrolase suppression RNAi to prevent menthyl acetate degradation

Key Interventions

Menthyl acetate ester derivative overproduction via BAHD-ATC1/AAT2 co-upregulationAcetyl-CoA supply engineering for sustained ester biosynthesis substrate provisionTRPM8 activation with distinctive sweet-minty menthyl acetate cooling character
