This invention relates to polypeptides having aldolase activity, including pyruvate activity such as, without limitation, HMG and/or KHG aldolase activity, polynucleotides encoding these polypeptides, and methods of making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. In some embodiments, the invention is directed to polypeptides having aldolase activity, including pyruvate activity such as, without limitation, HMG and/or KHG aldolase activity, including thermostable and thermotolerant activity, and polynucleotides encoding these enzymes, and making and using these polynucleotides and polypeptides. The polypeptides in accordance with the invention can be used in a variety of pharmaceutical, agricultural and industrial contexts. In some embodiments, the invention provides polypeptides and biosynthetic pathways that are useful in the production of R-2-hydroxy 2-(indol-3ylmethyl)-4-keto glutaric acid (R-MP) and certain stereoisomers of monatin, such as R,R and S,R monatin, and salts thereof, as well as certain stereoisomers of monatin derivatives, such as the R,R and S,R configurations, and salts thereof.
本发明涉及具有醛缩酶活性的多肽,包括丙酮酸活性,例如,但不限于HMG和/或KHG醛缩酶活性,编码这些多肽的多核苷酸以及制备和使用这些多核苷酸和多肽的方法。在某些实施例中,本发明涉及具有醛缩酶活性的多肽,包括丙酮酸活性,例如,但不限于HMG和/或KHG醛缩酶活性,包括热稳定和热耐受活性,以及编码这些酶的多核苷酸,并制备和使用这些多核苷酸和多肽。根据本发明的多肽可以在各种制药、农业和工业背景下使用。在某些实施例中,本发明提供了用于生产R-2-羟基2-(吲哚-3-甲基)-4-酮戊二酸(R-MP)和某些单味噌味酸的立体异构体(如R,R和S,R单味噌味酸及其盐)以及某些单味噌味酸衍生物的立体异构体(如R,R和S,R构型及其盐)的多肽和生物合成途径。
