UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007209	Indole-3-Glycerol-Phosphate Synthase	An enzyme in the tryptophan biosynthetic pathway. EC 4.1.1.48.	Indole 3 Glycerol Phosphate Synthase,Synthase, Indole-3-Glycerol-Phosphate
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
D001951	Brevibacterium	A gram-positive organism found in dairy products, fresh and salt water, marine organisms, insects, and decaying organic matter.
D004352	Drug Resistance, Microbial	The ability of microorganisms, especially bacteria, to resist or to become tolerant to chemotherapeutic agents, antimicrobial agents, or antibiotics. This resistance may be acquired through gene mutation or foreign DNA in transmissible plasmids (R FACTORS).

D004794	Enzyme Repression	The interference in synthesis of an enzyme due to the elevated level of an effector substance, usually a metabolite, whose presence would cause depression of the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis.	Repression, Enzyme
D000877	Anthranilate Phosphoribosyltransferase	An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of N-5'-phosphoribosylanthranilic acid from anthranilate and phosphoribosylpyrophosphate, the first step in tryptophan synthesis in E. coli. It exists in a complex with ANTHRANILATE SYNTHASE in bacteria. EC 2.4.2.18.	Phosphoribosylanthranilate Pyrophosphorylase,Anthranilate PR Transferase,PR Transferase, Anthranilate,Phosphoribosyltransferase, Anthranilate,Pyrophosphorylase, Phosphoribosylanthranilate
D000878	Anthranilate Synthase	An enzyme that catalyzes the formation of anthranilate (o-aminobenzoate) and pyruvic acid from chorismate and glutamine. Anthranilate is the biosynthetic precursor of tryptophan and numerous secondary metabolites, including inducible plant defense compounds. EC 4.1.3.27.	Anthranilate Synthetase,Anthranilate Synthase Component I,Synthase, Anthranilate,Synthetase, Anthranilate
D012267	Ribosemonophosphates	Ribose substituted in the 1-, 3-, or 5-position by a phosphoric acid moiety.
D014364	Tryptophan	An essential amino acid that is necessary for normal growth in infants and for NITROGEN balance in adults. It is a precursor of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid). It can be a precursor to NIACIN, albeit inefficiently, in mammals.

D014367	Tryptophan Synthase	An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-serine and 1-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate to L-tryptophan and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. It is a pyridoxal phosphate protein that also catalyzes the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4.2.1.20.	Tryptophan Synthetase,Synthase, Tryptophan,Synthetase, Tryptophan
