Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The invention provides recombinant polynucleotides comprising a nucleic acid encoding a CYP76AD6 or related gene and their use for producing L-DOPA from tyrosine. The invention also provides recombinant polynucleotides comprising a nucleic acid encoding a CYP76AD1 and/or CYP76AD6, a nucleic acid encoding a DOPA 4,5-dioxygenase (DOD) enzyme, such as Beta vulgaris DODA1, and, in some cases, a nucleic acid encoding betalain related glucosyltransferase, such as Mirabilis. jalapa gene cyclo-DOPA 5-O-glucosyltransferase (cDOPA5GT), and their use for producing betalains. Finally, the invention provides chimeric polypeptides, expression vectors, cells, compositions, and organisms, including plants, and their uses in various methods of the invention.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of producing L-DOPA from tyrosine, comprising: introducing into a cell a recombinant polynucleotide that encodes CYP76AD6, wherein said recombinant polynucleotide is under the control of a heterologous promoter active in said cell, wherein said CYP76AD6 is a tyrosine hydroxylase that converts tyrosine to L-DOPA and comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18 and wherein said cell is selected from a plant cell, a bacterial cell and a yeast cell, thereby producing L-DOPA from tyrosine. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method is performed without provision of L-DOPA. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cell is a yeast cell. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cell is a bacterial cell. 5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising introducing into the cell a nucleic acid that increases tyrosine availability in said cell. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cell is a plant cell. 7. The method of claim 1 , wherein said method is performed in culture. 8. The method of claim 1 , wherein said cell is within an organism.
