AbstractHelp

Anthranilate synthase (ASase) is a tetrameric protein comprising two copies each of components I and II [1]. The protein catalyses the first step in the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway, namely the conversion of chorismate and an ammonium ion to anthranilate. Component I obtains this ion from ammonia, whereas component II obtains the ion from glutamine using the glutamine amidotransferase (GATase) activity [2].

In some bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, component II can be much larger than in other organisms, due to the presence of phosphoribosyl-anthranilate transferase (PRTase) activity. This is the second step in tryptophan biosynthesis and results in the addition of 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate to anthranilate to create N-5'-phosphoribosyl-anthranilate. Some studies have suggested that the larger component II could have arisen by gene fusion, a hypothesis supported by the fact that the two activities are found in discrete domains that are physically separated in the 3D model.
