Abstract excerpt
The enzyme threonine deaminase (TD) is a key regulatory enzyme in the pathway for the biosynthesis of isoleucine. TD is inhibited by its end product, isoleucine, and this effect is countered by valine, the product of a competing biosynthetic pathway. Sequence and structure analyses have revealed that the protomers of many TDs have C-terminal regulatory domains, composed of two ACT-like subdomains, which bind...
