Comments [?]

Function The alpha subunit is responsible for the aldol cleavage of indoleglycerol phosphate to indole and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
Catalytic activity RHEA:10532: (1S,2R)-1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate + L-serine = D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + H2O + L-tryptophan
EC 4.2.1.20
Pathway Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-tryptophan biosynthesis; L-tryptophan from chorismate: step 5/5.
Subunit Tetramer of two alpha and two beta chains.
case <OG:Chloroplast>
Subcellular location Plastid, chloroplast.
end case
Similarity Belongs to the TrpA family.
