== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/TRPE_MYCTO TRPE_MYCTO] 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 (TrpG) 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 (TrpE) to produce anthranilate. In the absence of TrpG, TrpE can synthesize anthranilate directly from chorismate and high concentrations of ammonia (By similarity).

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
The tryptophan-biosynthesis pathway is essential for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) to cause disease, but not all of the enzymes that catalyse this pathway in this organism have been identified. The structure and function of the enzyme complex that catalyses the first committed step in the pathway, the anthranilate synthase (AS) complex, have been analysed. It is shown that the open reading frames Rv1609 (trpE) and Rv0013 (trpG) encode the chorismate-utilizing (AS-I) and glutamine amidotransferase (AS-II) subunits of the AS complex, respectively. Biochemical assays show that when these subunits are co-expressed a bifunctional AS complex is obtained. Crystallization trials on Mtb-AS unexpectedly gave crystals containing only AS-I, presumably owing to its selective crystallization from solutions containing a mixture of the AS complex and free AS-I. The three-dimensional structure reveals that Mtb-AS-I dimerizes via an interface that has not previously been seen in AS complexes. As is the case in other bacteria, it is demonstrated that Mtb-AS shows cooperative allosteric inhibition by tryptophan, which can be rationalized based on interactions at this interface. Comparative inhibition studies on Mtb-AS-I and related enzymes highlight the potential for single inhibitory compounds to target multiple chorismate-utilizing enzymes for TB drug discovery.
