Tryptophan synthetase in shoot and root tissue of pea seedlings
James Chen,W. G. Boll +1 more
TL;DR: It is shown by chromatographic and radioautographic methods that tryptophan is the product of the reaction, that both the substrates are necessary, and that pyridoxal phosphate is a necessary cofactor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tryptophan synthase: partial purification and some properties of the B-protein subunit from pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Alaska)
James Chen,W. G. Boll +1 more
TL;DR: A method was developed for partial purification of the B-protein of tryptophan synthase (EC 4.2.1.20) from pea plants and the partially purified B- protein, in the absence of A-protein, catalyzed the condensation of indole and serine to tryptophile at an appreciable rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tryptophan synthase: purification, and some properties of an inhibitor from pea roots
James Chen,W. G. Boll +1 more
TL;DR: An undialyzable, thermostable inhibitor of tryptophan synthase from pea plants, Escherichia coli, and Neurospora crassa occurs in the filtrate from acetone extraction of pea tissue and increases, on a protein basis, with age of the t...
Journal ArticleDOI
Tryptophan synthase: a two-component enzyme from pea plants (Pisum sativum cv. Alaska)
James Chen,W. G. Boll +1 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented showing that tryptophan synthase (L-serine hydro-lyase (adding indole), EC.4.2.20) from pea is composed of two components, A and B, analogous to the protein subunits reported for bacteria, algae, and tobacco enzyme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhibition of tryptophan synthase by extracts from pea roots
James Chen,W. G. Boll +1 more
TL;DR: Low tryptophan synthase (L-serine hydro-lyase (adding indole) activity in extracts of pea roots is a consequence of both a low concentration of the enzyme in roots and the presence of inhibitors at least some of which may be removed by homogenizing the fresh tissue with acetone.
