Comments [?]

Function The beta subunit is responsible for the synthesis of L-tryptophan from indole and L-serine.
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
Cofactor pyridoxal 5'-phosphate
Pathway Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-tryptophan biosynthesis; L-tryptophan from chorismate: step 5/5.
Subunit Tetramer of two alpha and two beta chains.
Similarity Belongs to the TrpB family.

Fusion None
Comments Highly divergent CHLTR; sequence not included in alignment. Duplicated trpB seems of archaebacterial origin. Some archaea have only such form (AERPE), some have only the classical form (METJA) and some have both including two bacteria (AQUAE and THEMA).
