FUNCTIONThe alpha subunit is responsible for the aldol cleavage of indoleglycerol phosphate to indole and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=(1S,2R)-1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate + L-serine = D- glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + H2O + L-tryptophan; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:10532, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:33384, ChEBI:CHEBI:57912, ChEBI:CHEBI:58866, ChEBI:CHEBI:59776; EC=4.2.1.20;
PATHWAYAmino-acid biosynthesis; L-tryptophan biosynthesis; L- tryptophan from chorismate: step 5/5.
SUBUNITTetramer of two alpha and two beta chains.
case <OG:Chloroplast>
SUBCELLULAR LOCATIONPlastid, chloroplast.
end case
SIMILARITYBelongs to the TrpA family.
