p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) is a bioactive natural product and an important industrial material for pharmaceuticals and nutraceuticals. It can be synthesized from deamination of L-tyrosine by tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL). In this work, we discovered two aromatic amino acid lyase genes, Sas-tal and
Tyrosine ammonia lyase catalyzes the deamination of L: -tyrosine to trans-coumaric acid. A novel tyrosine ammonia lyase-encoding gene, bagA, was cloned and sequenced from bagremycins-producing strain Streptomyces sp. Tü 4128 whose protein product contains a Ala-Ser-Gly segment in the active site.
Tyrosine ammonia lyase (TAL) catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine to p-coumaric acid using a 3,5-dihydro-5-methylidene-4H-imidazole-4-one (MIO) prosthetic group. In bacteria, TAL is used for production of the photoactive yellow protein chromophore and for caffeic acid biosynthesis in certain
The saccharomicins A and B, produced by the actinomycete Saccharothrix espanaensis, are oligosaccharide antibiotics. They consist of 17 monosaccharide units and the unique aglycon N-(m,p-dihydroxycinnamoyl)taurine. To investigate candidate genes responsible for the formation of
p-Coumaric acid is the precursor of phenylpropanoids, which are plant secondary metabolites that are beneficial to human health. Tyrosine ammonia lyase catalyzes the production of p-coumaric acid from tyrosine. Because of their photosynthetic ability and biosynthetic versatility, cyanobacteria are
