A new tryptophan catabolic pathway is characterized from Burkholderia cepacia J2315. In this pathway, tryptophan is converted to 2-amino-3-carboxymuconate semialdehyde, which is enzymatically degraded to pyruvate and acetate via the intermediates 2-aminomuconate and 4-oxalocrotonate. This pathway differs from the proposed mammalian pathway which converts 2-aminomuconate to 2-ketoadipate and, ultimately, glutaryl-coenzyme A.
一种新的色氨酸分解代谢途径是从洋葱伯克霍尔德菌J2315中鉴定出来的。在这条途径中,色氨酸被转化为2-氨基-3-羧基粘康酸半醛,其通过中间体2-氨基粘康酸和4-草酰巴豆酸被酶促降解为丙酮酸和乙酸盐。这条途径不同于所提出的哺乳动物途径,后者将2-氨基粘康酸转化为2-酮己二酸,并最终转化为戊二酰辅酶A。
