A structural view of the dissociation of Escherichia coli tryptophanase.
Tryptophanase (Trpase) is a pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent homotetrameric enzyme which catalyzes the degradation of L-tryptophan. Trpase is also known for its cold lability, which is a reversible loss of activity at low temperature (2°C) that is associated with the dissociation of the tetramer. Escherichia coli Trpase dissociates into dimers, while Proteus vulgaris Trpase dissociates in...
متن کاملEscherichia coli tryptophanase in the enteric environment.
The activity of the enzyme tryptophanase in the enteric environment was investigated to elucidate the significance of the enzyme in the metabolism of Escherichia coli. The tryptophanase activity, tryptophan content, and indole concentration as well as the numbers of E. coli were determined in the intestinal and fecal contents of conventional, germ-free, and monocontaminated axenic laboratory mi...
متن کاملRepression of Tryptophanase Synthesis in Escherichia Coli.
Beggs, William H. (University of Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio), and Herman C. Lichstein. Repression of tryptophanase synthesis in Escherichia coli. J. Bacteriol. 89:996-1004. 1965.-The nature of the glucose effect on tryptophanase in Escherichia coli (Crookes) was investigated to test the catabolite-repression hypothesis. Under static conditions of growth in the presence of 0.005 m glucose, try...
متن کاملNucleotide sequence of the structural gene for tryptophanase of Escherichia coli K-12.
The tryptophanase structural gene, tnaA, of Escherichia coli K-12 was cloned and sequenced. The size, amino acid composition, and sequence of the protein predicted from the nucleotide sequence agree with protein structure data previously acquired by others for the tryptophanase of E. coli B. Physiological data indicated that the region controlling expression of tnaA was present in the cloned se...
