Sequence cluster and distal-site engineering of Fdc for efficient isobutene biosynthesis.
Isobutene is an important platform chemical that is still predominantly produced from petroleum-derived feedstocks. The ferulic acid decarboxylase (Fdc) catalyzed decarboxylation of 3-methylcrotonic acid provides a green and sustainable route to bio-based isobutene. However, the poor activity of native Fdc toward this...
