Abstract excerpt
Cytidine triphosphate (CTP) synthetase (CTPS) (EC number 6.3.4.2) is a key enzyme involved in de novo synthesis of CTP. It catalyzes the rate-limiting step of the process due to the product inhibition effects on the enzyme. In this study, a novel CTPS from Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 13032 (CgCTPS) was cloned, expressed and characterized. A series of mutagenesis in its N-terminal ammonia ligase (ALase) domain...
