Biosynthetic methods and materials for the production of compounds involved in serine metabolism, derivatives thereof and/or compounds related thereto are provided. Also provided are products produced in accordance with these methods and materials.

The invention discloses oncogenic fusion proteins. The invention provides methods for treating gene-fusion based cancers.

The present invention relates to a microorganism, wherein the activity of a polypeptide capable of exporting O-phosphoserine (OPS) is enhanced, and a method of producing O-phosphoserine, cysteine, or a cysteine derivative using the microorganism.

The present disclosure relates to a novel MdtH variant and methods for producing O-phosphoserine and cysteine and a derivative of cysteine by using the same.

The present application relates to a recombinant microorganism, in which the expression of NADH:quinone oxidoreductase is regulated, and a method for producing O-phosphoserine, cysteine, and cysteine derivatives using the same.

The present invention generally relates to the microbiological industry, and specifically to the production of L-serine using genetically modified bacteria. The present invention provides genetically modified microorganisms, such as bacteria, wherein the expression of genes encoding for enzymes involved in the degradation of L-serine is attenuated, such as by inactivation, which makes them particularly suitable for the production of L-serine at higher yield. The present invention also provides means by which the microorganism, and more particularly a bacterium, can be made tolerant towards higher concentrations of serine. The present invention also provides methods for the production of L-serine or L-serine derivative using such genetically modified microorganisms.

The present invention provides methods for the production of cysteine or derivates thereof by culturing a microorganism having reduced activity of endogenous phosphoserine phosphatase and the activity of PhnC, PhnD, and PhnE is reduced, and enhanced activity of phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase and/or phosphoserine aminotransferase. The O-phosphoserine produced by such an organism can then be reacted with a sulfide in the presence of a sulfydrylase or a microorganism expressing a sulfhydrylase to produce cysteine or a derivative thereof. Microorganisms having these reduced and enhanced properties noted above are also provided herein.
