4.2.1.20 tryptophan synthaseIUBMB Comments
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. The alpha-subunit catalyses the conversion of 1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate to indole and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (this reaction was included formerly under EC 4.1.2.8). The indole migrates to the beta-subunit where, in the presence of pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, it is combined with L-serine to form L-tryptophan. In some organisms this enzyme is part of a multifunctional protein that also includes one or more of the enzymes EC 2.4.2.18 (anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase), EC 4.1.1.48 (indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthase), EC 4.1.3.27 (anthranilate synthase) and EC 5.3.1.24 (phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase). In thermophilic organisms, where the high temperature enhances diffusion and causes the loss of indole, a protein similar to the beta subunit can be found (EC 4.2.1.122). That enzyme cannot combine with the alpha unit of EC 4.2.1.20 to form a complex.

L-serine + 1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate = L-tryptophan + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + H2O
pressure perturbation is used to quantify the effects of monovalent cations, ligands, and mutations on the conformational equilibrium of Trp synthase. P-jump kinetics in the presence of Na+, NH4+, and Na+ together with benzimidazole are also examined. The plots of lnk versus P are nonlinear and require a compressibility (beta0) term to obtain a good fit. Compressibility (beta0) is positive for the Na+ enzyme but negative for NH4+ and Na+ with benzimidazole. These results suggest that there is a large contribution of solvation to the kinetics of the conformational change of Trp synthase
