Disease relevance of tyrB

  • The tyrB gene from Escherichia coli K-12 was cloned and sequenced, and the transcriptional start point of tyrB was determined by primer extension [1].
  • Cloning and characterization of the tyrB gene from Salmonella typhimurium [2].
 

High impact information on tyrB

  • The refined crystallographic structure of the "closed" conformation of chicken mitochondrial aspartate aminotransferase has been used as a template for the construction of models of the two Escherichia coli aminotransferases encoded by the tyrB and aspC genes [3].
  • The tyrB gene was isolated from a cosmid carrying the nearby dnaB gene, identified by its ability to complement a dnaB lesion [4].
  • This conclusion was confirmed by results obtained with combinations of aspC-, tyrB-, and ilvE-deficient mutations in E. coli [5].
  • By using a fusion plasmid in which the lacZ structural gene is transcribed from the tyrB promoter, it was shown that the expression of tyrB is controlled at the transcriptional level by the TyrR protein, with tyrosine as corepressor [1].
  • A comparison between the tyrB operator and those of the other genes belonging to the tyrR regulon is presented [1].

Biological context of tyrB

 

Associations of tyrB with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of tyrB

  • Comparison of the aspC and tyrB gene sequences reveals that they appear to have diverged as much as is possible within the constraints of functionality and codon usage [4].
