The cloning of cytosolic diterpenoid boost, tHMGR and GGPPS, and cytosolic TS are described in previous study28 (link). Taxus TS1, TS2, T5αH, TAT, T10βΗ, DBAT, T13αΗ, and TAX19 genes (Supplementary Table 9) were synthesized by Gen9 Bio (San Jose, CA) and amplified by PCR using Q5 High-Fidelity DNA Polymerase (New England BioLabs) and gene-specific primers from Integrated DNA Technologies (Supplementary Table 10). PCR amplicons were ligated with AgeI- and XhoI- (New England BioLabs) linearized pEAQ-HT vector27 (link) using HiFi DNA assembly mix (New England BioLabs). Constructs were transformed into 10-beta competent E. coli cells (New England BioLabs). Plasmid DNA was isolated using the QIAprep Spin Miniprep Kit (Qiagen) and sequence verified by Elim Biopharm.
