SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionTyrosine (abbreviated as Tyr or Y) is an alpha-amino acid. The L-isomer is one of the 22 proteinogenic amino acids, i.e., the building blocks of proteins. It is classified as a nonpolar, aromatic amino acid, because of the hydrophobic nature of the phenol side chain. L-Tyrosine is an electrically neutral amino acid. The word 'tyrosine' is from the Greek tyri, meaning cheese, as it was first discovered in 1846 by German chemist Justus von Liebig in the protein casein from cheese. Aside from being a proteogenic amino acid, tyrosine has a special role by virtue of the phenol functionality. It occurs in proteins that are part of signal transduction processes. It functions as a receiver of phosphate groups that are transferred by way of protein kinases (so-called receptor tyrosine kinases). Phosphorylation of the hydroxyl group changes the activity of the target protein. Tyrosine is produced via prephenate, an intermediate on the shikimate pathway. Prephenate is oxidatively decarboxylated with retention of the hydroxyl group to give p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate, which is transaminated using glutamate as the nitrogen source to give tyrosine and alpha-ketoglutarate. In yeast, the biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan proceeds via a common pathway to chorismate, at which point the pathway branches. One branch proceeds to phenylalanine and tyrosine, and the other to tryptophan. The phenylalanine and tyrosine branch has one reaction in common, rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate, at which point, the pathway branches again to either phenylalanine or tyrosine. S. cerevisiae, similar to E. coli, synthesizes phenylalanine and tyrosine via the intermediate 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and phenylpyruvate, respectively. Aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in S. cerevisiae is controlled by a combination of feedback inhibition, activation of enzyme activity, and regulation of enzyme synthesis. The carbon flow through the pathways is regulated primarily at the initial step and the branching points by the terminal end-products. The initial step of chorismate biosynthesis can be catalyzed by two isoenzymes Aro3p or Aro4p, whereby Aro3p is inhibited by phenylalanine, and Aro4p by tyrosine. The first step in the phenylalanine-tyrosine branch is feedback inhibited by tyrosine and activated by tryptophan. S. cerevisiae degrade the aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine) via the Ehrlich pathway. This pathway consists of 3 steps: 1) deamination of the amino acid to the corresponding alpha-keto acid; 2) decarboxylation of the resulting alpha-keto acid to the respective aldehyde; and, 3) reduction of the aldehyde to form the corresponding long chain or complex alcohol, known as a fusel alcohol or fusel oil. Fusel alcohols are important flavor and aroma compounds in yeast-fermented food products and beverages. Aro10p appears to be the primary decarboxylase catalyzing the second step in phenylalanine degradation. Although Vulrahan et. al. (2003) found that THI3 does not encode an active phenylpyruvate decarboxylase, they found Thi3p was required in conjunction with one of the pyruvate decarboxylases Pdc1p, Pdc5p or Pdc6p for the ARO10-independent decarboxylase activity. The main uptake systems for utilizing aromatic amino acids appear to be Gap1p, a general amino acid permease, and Wap1p, an inducible amino acid permease with wide substrate specificity.
