Pathway Edits

  • GmAAT2 aspartate aminotransferase isoform 2 overexpression under seed-specific beta-conglycinin promoter for enhanced OAA-to-aspartate transamination in soybean seed
  • GmASP4 aspartate 4-hydroxylase RNAi knockdown (60%) to prevent aspartate diversion to beta-amiino acids, preserving free L-aspartate pool as TAS1R1 ligand
  • GmASNS asparagine synthetase partial suppression (40%) to reduce glutamine-to-asparagine diversion, freeing aspartate precursor for direct TAS1R1 ligand accumulation
  • GmGOT1 glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase isoform 1 overexpression for enhanced aspartate synthesis from OAA across multiple cellular compartments

Key Interventions

L-aspartate TAS1R1 ligand accumulation via AAT2/GOT1 upregulation and ASP4/ASNS suppression for soybean seed aspartate enrichmentOAA substrate pool expansion via PEPC upregulation ensuring sufficient precursor for AAT2-driven aspartate synthesis under high demandFree aspartate cytosolic pool accumulation via FAP1 permease for mGluR1-accessible L-aspartate as secondary umami TAS1R1 agonist

Use Case

Soybean-based umami ingredients and plant-based protein hydrolysates where elevated free L-aspartate contributes as a secondary TAS1R1 agonist alongside glutamate, delivering a broader amino acid umami character.
