Usage and Biology
TnaA is an tryptophanase found in E. coli. It converts tryptophan (trp) and other related molecules, such as 6-Halogen-trp (6-X-trp) into indole or 6-X-indole. Its specific reaction formula is L-tryptophan + H₂O ⇌ indole + pyruvate + NH₃. Indole, play important roles in signaling in bacterial cells. FMO is a monooxygenase found in Methylophaga aminisulfidivorans. It adds a hydroxyl group onto numerous molecules, in our case adding a hydroxyl onto the third carbon on indole or 6-X-indole, allowing for spontaneous dimerization of 3-hydroxyl-indole or 3-hydroxyl-6-X-indole into indigo or tyrian purple dyes. They are fused together with the common rigid linker EAAAKEAAAK (Lee et al, 2021).
