Abstract excerpt
The trpD gene from tryptophan-hyperproducing Corynebacterium glutamicum ATCC 21850 was isolated on the basis of its ability to confer resistance to 5-methyltryptophan on wild-type C. glutamicum AS019. Comparative sequence analysis of the genes from the wild-type AS019 and ATCC 21850 trpD genes revealed two amino acid substitutions at the protein level. Further analysis demonstrated that the trpD gene product from...
