Abstract

A novel tyrosine-inducible tyrosine ammonia lyase enzyme was isolated from the yeast. This enzyme has a higher activity for tyrosine than for phenylalanine and is useful for the production of para-hydroxycinnamic acid directly from tyrosine. The gene encoding this enzyme was sequenced using 3' and 5′ RACE cloning of the TAL cDNA and the gene was expressed in the yeastand in the bacterium
