چکیده
Chorismate mutase (CM) and 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase (DS) are key regulatory enzymes in L-Phe and L-Tyr biosynthesis in Amycolatopsis methanolica. At least two CM proteins, CMIa and CMIb, are required for the single chorismate mutase activity in the wild type. Component CMIa (a homodimeric protein with 16-kDa subunits) was purified to homogeneity (2,717-fold) and kinetically characterized. The partially purified CMIb preparation obtained also contained the single DS (DSI) activity detectable in the wild type. The activities of CMIa and CMIb were inhibited by both L-Phe and L-Tyr. DSI activity was inhibited by L-Trp, L-Phe, and L-Tyr. A leaky L-Phe-requiring auxotroph, mutant strain GH141, grown under L-Phe limitation, possessed additional DS (DSII) and CM (CMII) activities. Synthesis of both CMII and DSII was repressed by L-Phe. An ortho-DL-fluorophenylalanine-resistant mutant of the wild type (strain oFPHE83) that had lost the sensitivity of DSII and CMII synthesis to L-Phe repression was isolated. DSII was partially purified (a 42-kDa protein); its activity was strongly inhibited by L-Tyr. CMII was purified to homogeneity (93.6 fold) and characterized as a homodimeric protein with 16-kDa subunits, completely insensitive to feedback inhibition by L-Phe and L-Tyr. The activity of CMII was activated by CMIb; the activity of CMII plus CMIb was again inhibited by L-Phe and L-Tyr. A tightly blocked L-Phe- plus L-Tyr-requiring derivative of mutant strain GH141, GH141-19, that had lost both CMIa and CMII activities was isolated.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Identical amino acid sequence of the aroA(G) gene products of Bacillus subtilis 168 and B. subtilis Marburg strain.
A DNA fragment containing the aroA(G) gene of Bacillus subtilis 168, encoding 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase-chorismate mutase, was cloned and sequenced. The N-terminus of the protein encoded by aroA(G) showed homology with chorismate mutase encoded by aroH of B. subtilis and with the chorismate mutase parts of proteins encoded by the pheA and tyrA genes of Escheric...

The mono/bifunctional and metallo/non-metallo properties of Bacillus subtilis DAHPS (3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase) have been controversial for several decades. The present study investigated the DAHPSs from both the B. subtilis parent Marburg strain and the derivative strain 168 in detail and clarified the above two long-standing questions. The DAHPSs from the parent and...
متن کاملDifferentially Regulated Isozymes of 3-Deoxy-d-arabino-Heptulosonate-7-Phosphate Synthase from Seedlings of Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek.
Two isozymes of 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate-7-phosphate synthase (EC 4.1.2.15) designated DS-Mn and DS-Co were separated from seedlings of Vigna radiata [L.] Wilczek by DEAE-cellulose column chromatography. DS-Mn was activated 2.6-fold by 0.4 millimolar manganese, had an activity optimum of 7.0, and was substrate inhibited by erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) concentrations in excess of 0.5 milli...

The Pseudomonas putida KT2440 strain was engineered in order to produce anthranilate (oAB, ortho-aminobenzoate), a precursor of the aromatic amino acid tryptophan, from glucose as sole carbon source. To enable the production of the metabolic intermediate oAB, the trpDC operon encoding an anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase (TrpD) and an indole-3-glycerol phosphate synthase (TrpC), were delet...
