1. A method of producing L-DOPA from tyrosine, comprising: introducing into a cell a recombinant polynucleotide that encodes CYP76AD6, wherein said recombinant polynucleotide is under the control of a heterologous promoter active in said cell, wherein said CYP76AD6 is a tyrosine hydroxylase that converts tyrosine to L-DOPA and comprises the amino acid sequence set forth in SEQ ID NO: 18 and wherein said cell is selected from a plant cell, a bacterial cell and a yeast cell, thereby producing L-DOPA from tyrosine.
