Freundlich, Martin (University of Minnesota, Minneapolis) and Herman C. Lichstein. Tryptophanase-tryptophan synthetase systems in Escherichia coli. I. Effect of tryptophan and related compounds. J. Bacteriol. 84:979-987. 1962.-The effect of tryptophan and related compounds on tryptophanase and tryptophan synthetase formation in Escherichia coli was determined. Several of these compounds stimulated the formation of tryptophanase while concomitantly decreasing the production of synthetase. A number of tryptophan analogues were found to inhibit growth. The possible mode of action of these substances was examined further. 5-Hydroxytryptophan greatly inhibited the formation of synthetase and also reduced growth. Its inhibitory action on growth was attributed, at least partially, to the false feedback inhibition of anthranilic acid formation. Tryptamine was found to be a potent inhibitor of the activity of synthetase, as well as of the enzyme(s) involved in the synthesis of anthranilic acid from shikimic acid. However, growth reduction was only partially reversed by tryptophan. Indole-3-acetic acid and indole-3-propionic acid decreased growth and increased the formation of synthetase six- to eightfold. The action of these compounds was ascribed to their ability to block the endogenous formation of tryptophan.

Stimulation of tryptophanase synthesis in Escherichia coli by cyclic 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate.

Cyclic 3’,5’-AMP stimulates the rate of tryptophanase synthesis in Escherichia coli treated with tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid and induced with tryptophan. A maximal effect occurs at 4 X low4 M cyclic 3’,5’-AMP and a half-maximal response at 1.5 X lo-4 M. The action of cyclic 3’,5’-AMP is specific for tryptophanase since the over-all rate of protein and RNA...
