Abstract excerpt
Studies of citrate synthase (CitA) were carried out to investigate its role in morphological development and biosynthesis of antibiotics in Streptomyces coelicolor. Purification of CitA, the major vegetative enzyme activity, allowed characterization of its kinetic properties. The apparent K(m) values of CitA for acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) (32 microM) and oxaloacetate (17 microM) were similar to those of...
