Abstract
The disclosure provides engineered enzymes that are capable of mediating the conversion of acetoacetyl-CoA to acetoacetate that do not react with the same order of magnitude with acetyl-CoA as they do with acetoacetyl-CoA (e.g., the engineered enzymes have a specific acetoacetyl-CoA hydrolase activity at least 10× higher than its acetyl-CoA hydrolase activity). Additionally, the disclosure provides modified microorganisms that comprise the engineered enzymes disclosed herein and methods of using same.
