Abstract
L-DOPA is an amino acid that is used as a treatment for Parkinson's disease. A simple enzymatic synthesis method of L-DOPA had been developed using bacterial L-tyrosine phenol-lyase (Tpl). This review describes research on screening of bacterial strains, culture conditions, properties of the enzyme, reaction mechanism of the enzyme, and the reaction conditions for the production of L-DOPA. Furthermore, molecular bleeding of constitutively Tpl-overproducing strains is described, which were developed based on mutations in a DNA binding protein, TyrR, which controls the induction of tpl gene expression.

Abstract
Tyrosinase is a multi-copper enzyme which is widely distributed in different organisms and plays an important role in the melanogenesis and enzymatic browning. Therefore, its inhibitors can be attractive in cosmetics and medicinal industries as depigmentation agents and also in food and agriculture industries as antibrowning compounds. For this purpose, many natural, semi-synthetic and synthetic inhibitors have been developed by different screening methods to date. This review has focused on the tyrosinase inhibitors discovered from all sources and biochemically characterised in the last four decades.

Abstract
The key step in the enzymatic reaction catalyzed by tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) is reversible cleavage of the Cβ-Cγ bond of L-tyrosine. Here, we present X-ray structures for two enzymatic states that form just before and after the cleavage of the carbon-carbon bond. As for most other pyridoxal 5'-phosphate-dependent enzymes, the first state, a quinonoid intermediate, is central for the catalysis. We captured this relatively unstable intermediate in the crystalline state by introducing substitutions Y71F or F448H in Citrobacter freundii TPL and briefly soaking crystals of the mutant enzymes with a substrate 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine followed by flash-cooling. The X-ray structures, determined at ~2.0 Å resolution, reveal two quinonoid geometries: "relaxed" in the open and "tense" in the closed state of the active site. The "tense" state is characterized by changes in enzyme contacts made with the substrate's phenolic moiety, which result in significantly strained conformation at Cβ and Cγ positions. We also captured, at 2.25 Å resolution, the X-ray structure for the state just after the substrate's Cβ-Cγ bond cleavage by preparing the ternary complex between TPL, alanine quinonoid and pyridine N-oxide, which mimics the α-aminoacrylate intermediate with bound phenol. In this state, the enzyme-ligand contacts remain almost exactly the same as in the "tense" quinonoid, indicating that the strain induced by the closure of the active site facilitates elimination of phenol. Taken together, structural observations demonstrate that the enzyme serves not only to stabilize the transition state but also to destabilize the ground state.

Abstract
Amino acid transformations catalyzed by a number of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzymes involve abstraction of the Calpha proton from an external aldimine formed between a substrate and the cofactor leading to the formation of a quinonoid intermediate. Despite the key role played by the quinonoid intermediates in the catalysis by PLP-dependent enzymes, limited accurate information is available about their structures. We trapped the quinonoid intermediates of Citrobacter freundii tyrosine phenol-lyase with L-alanine and L-methionine in the crystalline state and determined their structures at 1.9- and 1.95-A resolution, respectively, by cryo-crystallography. The data reveal a network of protein-PLP-substrate interactions that stabilize the planar geometry of the quinonoid intermediate. In both structures the protein subunits are found in two conformations, open and closed, uncovering the mechanism by which binding of the substrate and restructuring of the active site during its closure protect the quinonoid intermediate from the solvent and bring catalytically important residues into positions suitable for the abstraction of phenol during the beta-elimination of L-tyrosine. In addition, the structural data indicate a mechanism for alanine racemization involving two bases, Lys-257 and a water molecule. These two bases are connected by a hydrogen bonding system allowing internal transfer of the Calpha proton.

Abstract
Tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) from Citrobacter freundii is activated about 30-fold by monovalent cations, the most effective being K(+), NH(4)(+), and Rb(+). Previous X-ray crystal structure analysis has demonstrated that the monovalent cation binding site is located at the interface between subunits, with ligands contributed by the carbonyl oxygens of Gly52 and Asn262 from one chain and monodentate ligation by one of the epsilon-oxygens of Glu69 from another chain [Antson, A. A., Demidkina, T. V., Gollnick, P., Dauter, Z., Von Tersch, R. L., Long, J., Berezhnoy, S. N., Phillips, R. S., Harutyunyan, E. H., and Wilson, K. S. (1993) Biochemistry 32, 4195]. We have studied the effect of mutation of Glu69 to glutamine (E69Q) and aspartate (E69D) to determine the role of Glu69 in the activation of TPL. E69Q TPL is activated by K(+), NH(4)(+), and Rb(+), with K(D) values similar to wild-type TPL, indicating that the negative charge on Glu69 is not necessary for cation binding and activation. In contrast, E69D TPL exhibits very low basal activity and only weak activation by monovalent cations, even though monovalent cations are capable of binding, indicating that the geometry of the monovalent cation binding site is critical for activation. Rapid-scanning stopped-flow kinetic studies of wild-type TPL show that the activating effect of the cation is seen in an acceleration of rates of quinonoid intermediate formation (30-50-fold) and of phenol elimination. Similar rapid-scanning stopped-flow results were obtained with E69Q TPL; however, E69D TPL shows only a 4-fold increase in the rate of quinonoid intermediate formation with K(+). Preincubation of TPL with monovalent cations is necessary to observe the rate acceleration in stopped flow kinetic experiments, suggesting that the activation of TPL by monovalent cations is a slow process. In agreement with this conclusion, a slow increase (k < 0.5 s(-)(1)) in fluorescence intensity (lambda(ex) = 420 nm, lambda(em) = 505 nm) is observed when wild-type and E69Q TPL are mixed with K(+), Rb(+), and NH(4)(+) but not Li(+) or Na(+). E69D TPL shows no change in fluorescence under these conditions. High concentrations (>100 mM) of all monovalent cations result in inhibition of wild-type TPL. This inhibition is probably due to cation binding to the ES complex to form a complex that releases pyruvate slowly.

Abstract
Asn185 is an invariant residue in all known sequences of TPL and of closely related tryptophanase and it may be aligned with the Asn194 in aspartate aminotransferase. According to X-ray data, in the holoenzyme and in the Michaelis complex Asn185 does not interact with the cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, but in the external aldimine a conformational change occurs which is accompanied by formation of a hydrogen bond between Asn185 and the oxygen atom in position 3 of the cofactor. The substitution of Asn185 in TPL by alanine results in a mutant N185A TPL of moderate residual activity (2%) with respect to adequate substrates, L-tyrosine and 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine. The affinities of the mutant enzyme for various amino acid substrates and inhibitors, studied by both steady-state and rapid kinetic techniques, were lower than for the wild-type TPL. This effect mainly results from destabilization of the quinonoid intermediate, and it is therefore concluded that the hydrogen bond between Asn185 and the oxygen at the C-3 position of the cofactor is maintained in the quinonoid intermediate. The relative destabilization of the quinonoid intermediate and external aldimine leads to the formation of large amounts of gem-diamine in reactions of N185A TPL with 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine and L-phenylalanine. For the reaction with 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine it was first possible to determine kinetic parameters of gem-diamine formation by the stopped-flow method. For the reactions of N185A TPL with substrates bearing good leaving groups the observed values of k(cat) could be accounted for by taking into consideration two effects: the decrease in the quinonoid content under steady-state conditions and the increase in the quinonoid reactivity in a beta-elimination reaction. Both effects are due to destabilization of the quinonoid and they counterbalance each other. Multiple kinetic isotope effect studies on the reactions of N185A TPL with suitable substrates, L-tyrosine and 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine, show that the principal mechanism of catalysis, suggested previously for the wild-type enzyme, does not change. In the framework of this mechanism the observed considerable decrease in k(cat) values for reactions of N185A TPL with L-tyrosine and 3-fluoro-L-tyrosine may be ascribed to participation of Asn185 in additional stabilization of the keto quinonoid intermediate.

Abstract
Tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL), which catalyzes the beta-elimination reaction of L-tyrosine, and aspartate aminotransferase (AspAT), which catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amino group from dicarboxylic amino acids to oxo acids, both belong to the alpha-family of vitamin B6-dependent enzymes. To switch the substrate specificity of TPL from L-tyrosine to dicarboxylic amino acids, two amino acid residues of AspAT, thought to be important for the recognition of dicarboxylic substrates, were grafted into the active site of TPL. Homology modeling and molecular dynamics identified Val-283 in TPL to match Arg-292 in AspAT, which binds the distal carboxylate group of substrates and is conserved among all known AspATs. Arg-100 in TPL was found to correspond to Thr-109 in AspAT, which interacts with the phosphate group of the coenzyme. The double mutation R100T/V283R of TPL increased the beta-elimination activity toward dicarboxylic amino acids at least 10(4)-fold. Dicarboxylic amino acids (L-aspartate, L-glutamate, and L-2-aminoadipate) were degraded to pyruvate, ammonia, and the respective monocarboxylic acids, e.g. formate in the case of L-aspartate. The activity toward L-aspartate (kcat = 0.21 s-1) was two times higher than that toward L-tyrosine. beta-Elimination and transamination as a minor side reaction (kcat = 0.001 s-1) were the only reactions observed. Thus, TPL R100T/V283R accepts dicarboxylic amino acids as substrates without significant change in its reaction specificity. Dicarboxylic amino acid beta-lyase is an enzyme not found in nature.

Abstract
The X-ray structure of tyrosine phenol-lyase (TPL) complexed with a substrate analog, 3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid, shows that Arg 381 is located in the substrate binding site, with the side-chain NH1 4.1 A from the 4'-OH of the analog. The structure has been deduced at 2.5 A resolution using crystals that belong to the P2(1)2(1)2 space group with a = 135.07 A, b = 143.91 A, and c = 59.80 A. To evaluate the role of Arg 381 in TPL catalysis, we prepared mutant proteins replacing arginine with alanine (R381A), with isoleucine (R381I), and with valine (R381V). The beta-elimination activity of R381A TPL has been reduced by 10(-4)-fold compared to wild type, whereas R381I and R381V TPL exhibit no detectable beta-elimination activity with L-tyrosine as substrate. However, R381A, R381I, and R381V TPL react with S-(o-nitrophenyl)-L-cysteine, beta-chloro-L-alanine, O-benzoyl-L-serine, and S-methyl-L-cysteine and exhibit k(cat) and k(cat)/Km values comparable to those of wild-type TPL. Furthermore, the Ki values for competitive inhibition by L-tryptophan and L-phenylalanine are similar for wild-type, R381A, and R381I TPL. Rapid-scanning-stopped flow spectroscopic analyses also show that wild-type and mutant proteins can bind L-tyrosine and form quinonoid complexes with similar rate constants. The binding of 3-(4'-hydroxyphenyl)propionic acid to wild-type TPL decreases at high pH values with a pKa of 8.4 and is thus dependent on an acidic group, possibly Arg404, which forms an ion pair with the analog carboxylate, or the pyridoxal 5'-phosphate Schiff base. R381A TPL shows only a small decrease in k(cat)/Km for tyrosine at lower pH, in contrast to wild-type TPL, which shows two basic pKas with an average value of about 7.8. Thus, it is possible that Arg 381 is one of the catalytic bases previously observed in the pH dependence of k(cat)/Km of TPL with L-tyrosine [Kiick, D. M., & Phillips. R. S. (1988) Biochemistry 27, 7333-7338], and hence Arg 381 is at least partially responsible for the substrate specificity of TPL.

Abstract
We have examined the interaction of Citrobacter freundii tyrosine phenol-lyase with both L- and D-alanine. This enzyme catalyzes the racemization of alanine as a side reaction, in addition to the physiological beta-elimination of L-tyrosine to give phenol and ammonium pyruvate. The steady-state kinetic parameters for alanine racemization, kcat and Km, for D-alanine are 0.008 S-1 and 32 mM, respectively, while those for L-alanine are 0.03 S-1 and 11 mM. Incubation of tyrosine phenol-lyase with either L- or D-alanine forms a quinonoid complex that exhibits a strong peak at 500 nm. The presence of K+ increases the intensity of the 500-nm absorption with L-alanine, but decreases the intensity of the peak with D-alanine. Rate constants for the formation of these quinonoid intermediates and the effects of phenol and analogues on the reaction with either L- or D-alanine have been studied by rapid-scanning and single-wavelength stopped-flow spectrophotometry. Phenol binds to all the intermediates of tyrosine phenol-lyase with L- and D-alanine, but most strongly to the external aldimine complex, resulting in a decrease in the absorbance at 500 nm at equilibrium. Pyridine N-oxide binds selectively to the quinonoid complex of alanine, and thus causes an increase in the absorbance at 500 nm at equilibrium. 4-Hydroxypyridine causes a decrease in absorbance at 500 nm during the fast phase, but an increase in absorbance at 502 nm in a subsequent slow relaxation.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Degradation of tryptophan to indole, pyruvate, and ammonia by tryptophanase (EC 4....) from Escherichia coli, previously thought to be an irreversible reaction, is readily reversible at high concentrations of pyruvate and ammonia. Tryptophan and certain of its analogues, e.g., 5-hydroxytryptophan, can be synthesized by this reaction from pyruvate, ammonia, and indole or an appropriate derivative at maximum velocities approaching those of the degradative reactions. Concentrations of ammonia required for the synthetic reactions produce specific changes in the spectrum of tryptophanase that differ from those produced by K(+) and indicate that ammonia interacts with bound pyridoxal 5'-phosphate to form an imine. Kinetic results indicate that pyruvate is the second substrate bound, hence indole must be the third. These results favor a modified mechanism for the multitude of tryptophanase-catalyzed reactions in which alpha-aminoacrylate, which functions as a common enzyme-bound intermediate in both synthetic and degradative reactions, is not released into the medium during the latter reactions, but is degraded to pyruvate and ammonia by sequential reversible steps via enzyme-bound intermediates.
