L-serine + 1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate = L-tryptophan + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + H2O |
also catalyses the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water, and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate (the latter reaction was listed formerly as EC 4.2.1.8) |
