    摘要: The present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells that have been engineered with genetic circuitry which allow the recombinant bacterial cells to sense a patient's internal environment and respond by turning an engineered metabolic pathway on or off. When turned on, the recombinant bacterial cells complete all of the steps in a metabolic pathway to achieve a therapeutic effect in a host subject. These recombinant bacterial cells are designed to drive therapeutic effects throughout the body of a host from a point of origin of the microbiome. Specifically, the present disclosure provides recombinant bacterial cells that comprise an amino acid catabolism enzyme, e.g., a methionine catabolism enzyme for the treatment of diseases and disorders associated with amino acid metabolism, including homocystinuria, in a subject. The disclosure further provides pharmaceutical compositions and methods of treating disorders associated with amino acid metabolism, such as homocystinuria.
