The cluster addresses the limitation of low yield in amino acid biosynthesis due to suboptimal enzyme kinetics and transport bottlenecks. Enhancing these specific pathways increases the commercial viability of microbial fermentation.

The cluster addresses the metabolic bottleneck where natural ribonuclease activity limits the efficient overproduction of L-valine. Modifying these regulatory proteins overcomes the physiological constraints that prevent high-titer microbial fermentation.

The keywords focus on variants of acetohydroxy acid synthase and aminotransferases for leucine and isoleucine production. These enzymes are naturally subject to feedback inhibition by the end-products they create, which limits industrial yield.
