The Arabidopsis PAL3 is a carboxy-tyrosine ammonia lyase

Caroline Van Beirs, Ans Van der Vaet, Jan Goeman, Fabricio Almeida‐Silva, Congwei Xie, Hannes Meinert, Sandrien Desmet, Steven Vandersyppe, Ruben Vanholme, Johan Van der Eycken, Bart V. Devreese, Thomas Bayer, Uwe T. Bornscheuer, Wout Boerjan, Bartel Vanholme

The paper identifies PAL3 in Arabidopsis as a novel enzyme converting 3-carboxy-tyrosine into carboxy-p-coumaric acid, reclassifying it as a 3-carboxy-tyrosine ammonia lyase.

Metabolic engineering of a tyrosine-specific phenylpropanoid pathway in plants

Caroline Van Beirs, Max Bentelspacher, Congwei Xie, Celien Van de Velde, Sandrien Desmet, Robin De Wulf, Wout Boerjan, Jaime Barros-Rios, Bartel Vanholme

The paper engineers a tyrosine-specific phenylpropanoid pathway in plants and finds that it can overcome a seedling-lethal phenotype but causes developmental defects due to auxin transport inhibitor accumulation.
