The present invention provides engineered leucine decarboxylase (LDC) polypeptides and compositions thereof, as well as polynucleotides encoding the engineered leucine decarboxylase polypeptides. In some embodiments, the engineered leucine decarboxylase polypeptides display enhanced catalytic activity, as well as reduced sensitivity to proteolysis, and/or increased tolerance to low pH environments. In some embodiments, the engineered leucine decarboxylase polypeptides are optimized to provide improved storage stability. The present invention also provides methods for the use of the compositions comprising the engineered leucine decarboxylase polypeptides for therapeutic and industrial purposes.

Engineered leucine decarboxylases

The present invention provides engineered glycosyltransferase (GT) enzymes, polypeptides having GT activity, and polynucleotides encoding these enzymes, as well as vectors and host cells comprising these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The present invention provides engineered sucrose synthase (SuS) enzymes, polypeptides having SuS activity, and polynucleotides encoding these enzymes, as well as vectors and host cells comprising these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The present invention also provides compositions comprising the GT enzymes and methods of using the engineered GT enzymes to make products with β-glucose linkages. The present invention further provides compositions and methods for the production of rebaudiosides (e.g., rebaudioside M, rebaudioside A, rebaudioside I, and rebaudioside D). The present invention also provides compositions comprising the SuS enzymes and methods of using them. Methods for producing GT and SuS enzymes are also provided.
