The tryptophan synthase bienzyme complex transfers indole between the .alpha.- and .beta.-sites via a 25-30 .ANG. long tunnel
Abstract
The bacterial tryptophan synthase bienzyme complexes (with subunit composition alpha 2 beta 2) catalyze the last two steps in the biosynthesis of L-tryptophan. For L-tryptophan synthesis, indole, the common metabolite, must be transferred by some mechanism from the alpha-catalytic site to the beta-catalytic site. The X-ray structure of the Salmonella typhimurium tryptophan synthase shows the catalytic sites of each alpha-beta subunit pair are...
