Partially purified preparations of certain tryptophan-requiring mutants of Neurospora crassa, which contain a protein (CRM) antigenically related to wild-type tryptophan synthetase, possess indole glycerol phosphate-synthesizing activity. This activity can be inhibited by anti-CRM sera. It is suggested that CRM in such mutants represents a damaged tryptophan synthetase lacking the capacity to react with l-serine.
粗糙脉孢菌某些需要色氨酸的突变体的部分纯化制剂,含有一种与野生型色氨酸合成酶在抗原性上相关的蛋白质(CRM),具有吲哚甘油磷酸合成活性。这种活性可被抗CRM血清抑制。有人提出,此类突变体中的CRM代表一种受损的色氨酸合成酶,缺乏与L-丝氨酸反应的能力。
