Hydroxytyrosol, a fine chemical, is widely utilized in food and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, we constructed a pathway to produce hydroxytyrosol by co-expressing tyrosin-phenol lyase (TPL), L-amino acid dehydrogenase (aadL), α-keto acid decarboxylase (KAD), aldehyde reductase (yahK) and glucose dehydrogenase (gdh). We changed combinations between plasmids with different copy numbers and target genes, resulting in 84% increase in hydroxytyrosol production.

Enzymes with high catalytic activity and stability are essential for industrial production, yet most natural enzymes do not meet these requirements. Therefore, efficient strategies for enzyme engineering are crucial. In this study, we developed a cost-effective computational design strategy to enhance the activity of tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) for the production of L-DOPA.

Tyrosine phenol lyase (TPL) synthesises L-tyrosine derivatives from monophenols, pyruvate and ammonia. Production of such high-value aromatic chemicals from biomass-derived raw materials is of great interest. In this study, six monophenols (guaiacol, phenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, catechol and syringol) were chosen based on the structure of lignin and were studied as substrates in the enzymatic reaction.

Graduate School of Integrated Pharmaceutical and Nutritional Sciences, University of Shizuoka, Shizuoka, 4228526, Japan.

Article Synopsis
  • Tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) is an enzyme in gut bacteria that produces phenol from L-Tyr, contributing to harmful uremic toxins linked to kidney issues.
  • This study tested how dietary polyphenols, especially quercetin, can inhibit TPL and lower phenol production.
  • Quercetin was found to be the most effective inhibitor of TPL and phenol production, indicating its potential as a treatment strategy for managing uremia despite its low absorption in the gut.
