Mutations in the regulatory subunit of yeast acetohydroxyacid synthase affect its activation by MgATP.

Abstract excerpt

Isoleucine, leucine and valine are synthesized via a common pathway in which the first reaction is catalysed by AHAS (acetohydroxyacid synthase; EC 2.2.1.6). This heterotetrameric enzyme is composed of a larger subunit that contains the catalytic machinery and a smaller subunit that plays a regulatory role. The RSU (regulatory subunit) enhances the activity of the CSU (catalytic subunit) and mediates end-product...
