Description, Abstract, or Artist's Statement
Mrub_1512 encodes the enzyme tryptophan A (DNA coordinates 1544300..1545091), which is the 6th step of the Tryptophan Biosynthesis pathway (KEGG map number 00400). It catalyzes the conversion of Chorismate to L-Tryptophan. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b1260, which has the gene identifier trpA. We predict that Mrub_1512 (DNA coordinates 1544300..1545091) is a alpha subunit of the Tryptophan Synthase (KEGG map number 00400). Mrub_1511 encodes the enzyme tryptophan B (DNA coordinates 1543083..1544303), which is the 7th step of the Tryptophan Biosynthesis pathway (KEGG map number 00400). It catalyzes the conversion of Chorismate to L-Tryptophan. The E. coli K12 MG1655 ortholog is predicted to be b1261, which has the gene identifier trpB. We predict that Mrub_1511 (DNA coordinates 1544300..1545091) is a beta subunit of the Tryptophan Synthase (KEGG map number 00400).
