E49A | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows decreased activities and weakened thiamine diphosphate binding. The Km for substrate pyruvate is 22fold higher than that of the wild-type cALS. In addition, the E49A mutation also has a drastic effect on cofactor thiamine diphosphate activation. The half-saturating concentration (Kc) for thiamine diphosphate is 2000fold higher than that of wild-type cALS | Enterococcus faecalis |
E49A | the mutation causes a 190fold reduction in affinity for thiamine diphosphate | Enterococcus faecalis |
E49D | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant exhibits normal substrate kinetics, with the Km for pyruvate equal to that of wild-type cALS | Enterococcus faecalis |
E49D | the mutation causes a 150fold reduction in affinity for thiamine diphosphate | Enterococcus faecalis |
E49Q | site-directed mutagenesis, the mutant shows decreased activities and weakened thiamine diphosphate binding, the Kc for ThDP that is 3600fold higher than that of wild-type cALS | Enterococcus faecalis |
E49Q | the mutant causes a 170fold reduction in affinity for thiamine diphosphate shows 7% of wild type activity | Enterococcus faecalis |
additional information | the aspartate substitution significantly affects the activation of thiamine diphosphate. The Kc for thiamine diphosphate is determined to be 280fold higher than that of wild-type cALS | Enterococcus faecalis |

General Information | Comment | Organism |

evolution | two types of ALSs, anabolic acetohydroxyacid synthase (AHAS) and catabolic ALSs (cALS). The anabolic AHAS is primarily found in plants, fungi, and bacteria, is involved in the biosynthesis of branched-chain amino acids, and contains FAD, whereas the cALS is found only in some bacteria and is involved in the butanediol fermentation pathway. Both of the enzymes are thiamine diphosphate-dependent and require a divalent metal ion for catalytic activity. The catabolic ALS can be distinguished from anabolic AHAS by a low optimal pH of about pH 6.0, FAD-independent functionality, a genetic location within the butanediol operon, and lack of a regulatory subunit. In all of the crystal structures of ThDP-dependent enzymes determined to date, with the exception of glyoxylate carbo-ligase (GCL), a highly conerved glutamate residue is found at hydrogen-bonding distance from the N1' atom of the aminopyrimidine ring of the boundThDP and plays a key role in catalysis.
