Disease relevance of trpD

Nucleotide sequence of the trpD gene, encoding anthranilate synthetase component II of Escherichia coli [1].
Construction of a promoter-probe vector for a Bacillus subtilis host by using the trpD+ gene of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens [2].

High impact information on trpD

DNA sequence analysis as well as growth and enzyme assays of insertionally inactivated strains indicated that trpG is the first gene in a three-gene operon that also includes trpD and trpC [3].
DNA fragments showing the promoter function for the trpD gene were obtained from B. amyloliquefaciens and Saccharomyces cerevisiae chromosomes and rho 11 and lambda phage DNAs, but rarely from the DNAs of Escherichia coli and pBR322 [2].

Biological context of trpD

The nucleotide sequence of the region comprising the trpE and trpD genes and a portion of the trpC gene has been determined [4].
