description Natural products (NPs) continue to play a pivotal role in drug discovery programs. The rapid development of synthetic biology has conferred the strategies of NPs production. Synthetic biology is a new engineering discipline that aims to produce desirable products by rationally programming the biological parts and manipulating the pathways. However, there is still a challenge for integrating a heterologous pathway in chassis cells for overproduction purpose due to the limited characterized parts, modules incompatibility, and cell tolerance towards product. Enormous endeavors have been taken for mentioned issues. Herein, in this review, the progresses in naturally discovering novel biological parts and rational design of synthetic biological parts are reviewed, combining with the advanced assembly technologies, pathway engineering, and pathway optimization in global network guidance. The future perspectives are also presented.
