Evidence for the formation of an unstable intermediate in the synthesis of quinolinate from aspartate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate by Escherichia coli was obtained using toluenized cells of nadA and nadB mutants of this organism and partially purified A and B proteins in dialysis and membrane cone experiments. The results of these experiments indicate that the nadB gene product forms an unstable compound from aspartate in the presence of flavine adenine dinucleotide, and that this compound is then condensed with dihydroxyacetone phosphate to form quinolinate in a reaction catalyzed by the nadA gene product.
通过使用该生物体的nadA和nadB突变体的甲苯处理细胞以及透析和膜锥实验中部分纯化的A和B蛋白,获得了大肠杆菌由天冬氨酸和磷酸二羟丙酮合成喹啉酸过程中形成不稳定中间体的证据。这些实验结果表明,nadB基因产物在黄素腺嘌呤二核苷酸存在下由天冬氨酸形成一种不稳定化合物,然后该化合物在nadA基因产物催化的反应中与磷酸二羟丙酮缩合形成喹啉酸。
