OverviewOverview

Allosteric interactions regulate substrate channeling in Salmonella, typhimurium tryptophan synthase. The channeling of indole between the, alpha- and beta-sites via the interconnecting 25 A tunnel is regulated by, allosteric signaling arising from binding of ligand to the alpha-site, and, covalent reaction of l-Ser at the beta-site. This signaling switches the, alpha- and beta-subunits between open conformations of low activity and, closed conformations of high activity. Our objective is to synthesize and, characterize new classes of alpha-site ligands (ASLs) that mimic the, binding of substrates, 3-indole-d-glycerol 3'-phosphate (IGP) or, d-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate (G3P), for use in the investigation of, alpha-site-beta-site interactions. The new synthesized IGP analogues, contain an ... [(full description)]
