Abstract
Biosynthesis of steviol glycosides in planta proceeds via two cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYPs): kaurene oxidase (KO) and kaurenoic acid hydroxylase (KAH). KO and KAH function in succession with the support of a NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) to convert kaurene to steviol. This work describes a platform for recombinant production of steviol glucosides (SGs) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, demonstrating the full reconstituted pathway from the simple sugar glucose to the SG precursor steviol. With a focus on optimization of the KO-KAH activities, combinations of functional homologues were tested in batch growth. Among the CYPs, novel KO75 (CYP701) and novel KAH82 (CYP72) outperformed their respective functional homologues from Stevia rebaudiana, SrKO (CYP701A5) and SrKAH (CYP81), in assays where substrate was supplemented to culture broth. With kaurene produced from glucose in the cell, SrCPR1 from S. rebaudiana supported highest turnover for KO-KAH combinations, besting two other CPRs isolated from S. rebaudiana, the Arabidopsis thaliana ATR2, and a new class I CPR12. Some coexpressions of ATR2 with a second CPR were found to diminish KAH activity, showing that coexpression of CPRs can lead to competition for CYPs with possibly adverse effects on catalysis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
