Tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL) with RBS

Tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL) is an enzyme which catalyzes the formation of p-coumaric acid (aka p-hyroxycinnamic acid) from tyrosine. It belongs to the family of ammonia-lyases, enzymes that catalyze the deamination of amino acids [1]. P-coumaric acid is an important precursor in many metabolic pathways. TAL also has a secondary function as a phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) which catalyses the formation of cinnamic acid. [2].

This enzyme is one of the first enzymes in the phenylpropanoid pathway.

The tyrosine ammonia lyase coding region was amplified from a plasmid that we kindly got form the authors of J.Conrado et al.[3]

P-coumaric acid shows no visible color, so we have characterized it with spectrophotometry and high pressure liquid chromatografy, see experience for more.
