Amino acid sequences of soluble tryptic peptides of chorismate mutase/prephenate dehydratase from Escherichia coli K12. 1979

G S Baldwin, and B E Davidson

The amino acid sequences of 28 soluble tryptic peptides from chorismate mutase/prephenate dehydratase from Escherichia coli K12 have been determined. Together with the four unique cysteine-containing peptides sequenced by Gething and Davidson ((1976) Eur. J. Biochem. 71, 327-336) this accounts for approximately 75% of the total sequence expected for this protein. A high frequency of identify between some of the peptides suggests the possibility of gene duplication during the evolution of the structural gene for the enzyme.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007535	Isomerases	A class of enzymes that catalyze geometric or structural changes within a molecule to form a single product. The reactions do not involve a net change in the concentrations of compounds other than the substrate and the product.(from Dorland, 28th ed) EC 5.	Isomerase
D010446	Peptide Fragments	Partial proteins formed by partial hydrolysis of complete proteins or generated through PROTEIN ENGINEERING techniques.	Peptide Fragment,Fragment, Peptide,Fragments, Peptide
D011302	Prephenate Dehydratase	An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of prephenate to phenylpyruvate with the elimination of water and carbon dioxide. In the enteric bacteria this enzyme also possesses chorismate mutase activity, thereby catalyzing the first two steps in the biosynthesis of phenylalanine. EC 4.2.1.51.

D002621	Chemistry	A basic science concerned with the composition, structure, and properties of matter; and the reactions that occur between substances and the associated energy exchange.
D002826	Chorismate Mutase	An isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of chorismic acid to prephenic acid. EC 5.4.99.5.	Chorismate Pyruvatemutase,Mutase, Chorismate,Pyruvatemutase, Chorismate
D004926	Escherichia coli	A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc.	Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
