comment
  • FUNCTION Part of a heterotetrameric complex that catalyzes the two-step biosynthesis of anthranilate, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of L-tryptophan. In the first step, the glutamine-binding beta subunit of anthranilate synthase (AS) provides the glutamine amidotransferase activity which generates ammonia as a substrate that, along with chorismate, is used in the second step, catalyzed by the large alpha subunit of AS to produce anthranilate.CATALYTIC ACTIVITY chorismate + L-glutamine = anthranilate + pyruvate + L-glutamate + H(+)ACTIVITY REGULATION Feedback inhibition by tryptophan.BIOPHYSICOCHEMICAL PROPERTIES kcat is 14.6 sec(-1) with chorismate as substrate (for recombinant ASA2 and ASB1 proteins synthesized with the wheat germ cell-free system).PATHWAY Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-tryptophan biosynthesis; L-tryptophan from chorismate: step 1/5.SUBUNIT Heterotetramer consisting of two non-identical subunits: a beta subunit and a large alpha subunit.SUBCELLULAR LOCATION By chitin oligosaccharide elicitor and the phytopathogenic fungus Bipolaris oryzae.SIMILARITY Belongs to the anthranilate synthase component I family.
