Abstract excerpt
Yeast chorismate mutase (EC 5.4.99.5) shows homotropic activation by the substrate, allosteric activation by tryptophan, and allosteric inhibition by tyrosine. In this study mutants of chorismate mutase have been found that remain sensitive to one allosteric effector (tryptophan) but insensitive to the other (tyrosine). These mutations are located in the catalytic domain: loop 220s (212-226) and helix 12...
