Disease relevance of ilvN

  • We have cloned the two subunits, ilvB and ilvN, of this Escherichia coli isoenzyme and examined the enzymatic properties of the purified holoenzyme and the enzyme reconstituted from purified subunits [1].
  • Acetolactate synthase small subunit encoding ilvN genes from the parental Streptomyces cinnamonensis strain and mutants resistant either to valine analogues or to 2-ketobutyrate were cloned and sequenced [2].
 

High impact information on ilvN

  • We reserve the designation ilvB for the promoter proximal (longer) cistron and designate the promoter distal cistron ilvN [3].
  • Changes in the sequence of ilvN conferring the insensitivity to valine in mutant strains were found in two distinct regions [2].
