Figure 1.
Figure 1 HisA and TrpF catalyse similar reactions in histidine and tryptophan biosynthesis. HisA and TrpF catalyse the isomerizations of the aminoaldoses ProFAR and PRA to the aminoketoses N'-((5'-phosphoribulosyl)formimino)-5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide ribonucleotide (PRFAR) and 1-(o-carboxyphenylamino)-1-deoxyribulose 5-phosphate (CdRP). The PriA protein catalyses both reactions in Streptomyces coelicolor and Mycobacterium tuberculosis. These organisms lack a trpf gene.
