A protein variant having an L-tyrosine exporting activity, a microorganism expressing the same, and use thereof.

The invention relates to microbial cells and microbial cells for use as a medicament, the cells expressing a recombinant nucleic acid encoding a eukaryotic tyrosine hydroxylase. The cells produce L-DOPA and dopamine.

The present invention relates to methods of providing a biomass residuum and compositions thereof. In particular examples, the biomass residuum includes one or more high value amino acids, even after removal of mixed alcohol components. In particular, the methods include implementing pre-treatment conditions and employing fermentation conditions including modified organisms.

The present disclosure provides engineered enzymes and methods for preparing tyrosine and tyrosine analogs from a donor amino acid and phenols in a single step. Also disclosed are methods to engineer enzymes having such ‘tyrosine synthase’ activity, starting from the beta-subunit of a tryptophan synthase (TrpB).

The present invention provides engineered tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL) polypeptides and compositions thereof. In some embodiments, the engineered TAL polypeptides have been optimized to provide enhanced catalytic activity and enhanced acid stability, while reducing sensitivity to proteolysis and increasing tolerance to acidic pH levels. The invention also provides methods for utilization of the compositions comprising the engineered TAL polypeptides for therapeutic and industrial purposes.
