Schematic diagram of the biosynthesis of oxygenated taxanes with a heterologous MVA pathway. mvaE: acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase/HMG-CoA reductase gene; mvaS: HMG-CoA synthase gene; erg12: mevalonate kinase; erg8: phosphomevalonate kinase; erg19: mevalonate pyrophosphate decarboxylase; idi: IPP:DMAPP isomerase; GGPPS: geranylgeranyl pyrophosphate synthase; TS: taxadiene synthase; T5αOH-CPR: the fusion protein of taxadiene-5α-hydroxylase and Taxus-derived cytochrome P450 reductase; OCT: 5(12)-oxa-3(11)-cyclotaxane; iso-OCT: 5(13)-oxa-3(11)-cyclotaxane
