Abstract excerpt
Tyrosine feedback-inhibits the 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase isoenzyme AroF of Escherichia coli. Here we show that an Asn-8 to Lys-8 substitution in AroF leads to a tyrosine-insensitive DAHP synthase. This mutant enzyme exhibited similar activities (v=30-40 U mg(-1)) and substrate affinities (K(m)(erythrose-4-phosphate)=0.5 mM, positive cooperativity with respect to...
