evolution |
TrpE and PhnA sequences reveal the evolutionary relationships of each anthranilate synthase enzyme to those of other species, phylogenetic analysis and tree, overview. TrpEG are most closely related to anthranilate synthases from other members of the fluorescent pseudomonad family, while PhnAB are most closely related to anthranilate synthases from more distantly related organisms. The absence of a phnAB-like operon in other pseudomonads is evidence that PhnAB acquisition occurred after the family's diversification |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
malfunction |
phnAB mutants are tryptophan prototrophs but do not produce Pseudomonas quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone in minimal media |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
malfunction |
trpEG mutants are tryptophan auxotrophs but produce Pseudomonas quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa |
metabolism |
Pseudomonas aeruginosa possesses two functional anthranilate synthases, TrpEG and PhnAB, and these enzymes are not functionally redundant. They are involved in biosynthesis of Pseudomonas quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone, which regulates density-dependent production of toxic factors involved in Pseudomonas aeruginosa virulence. TrpED catalyzes the first step in tryptophan biosynthesis |

physiological function |
conversion of the central metabolite chorismate to anthranilate by anthranilate synthase is required for Pseudomonas quinolone signal 2-heptyl-3-hydroxy-4-quinolone, PQS, biosynthesis. The reaction is also the first step in tryptophan biosynthesis |
