Abstract
Engineered polypeptides or engineered microbial cells useful in synthesizing acyl amino acids are provided. In some embodiments, engineered polypeptides or engineered microbial cells are useful in synthesizing acyl amino acids with one or more hydroxyl and/or methyl groups at one or more positions of the fatty acid portion of the acyl amino acid (e.g., at ω-1, ω-2, and/or ω-3 positions of the fatty acid portion of the acyl amino acid). Also provided are methods of making acyl amino acids using engineered polypeptides and/or engineered microbial cells.
