Abstract excerpt
Isoleucine synthesis is strongly regulated by its end product (isoleucine) in Corynebacterium glutamicum, especially at threonine dehydratase (TD) node. Multiple alignments of TD sequences of C. glutamicum and other sources were performed. According to the structural analysis, three TD variants were constructed by site-directed mutagenesis. These TD variants improved the performance of the holoenzyme. The...
