Disease relevance of ilvI

  • Gene ilvG in Escherichia coli K-12 and ilvI in 'Salmonella typhimurium LT2' (S. enterica serotype Typhimurium, strain LT2) are inactive due to frameshift or nonsense mutations, respectively [1].
 

High impact information on ilvI

  • We further show that purified A. pleuropneumoniae His(6)-Lrp binds in vitro to the A. pleuropneumoniae promoter regions for ilvI, antisense cps1AB, lrp, and nqr [2].
  • Acetohydroxy acid synthase isozyme III (AHAS III) from Escherichia coli is composed of large and small subunits (encoded by the genes ilvI and ilvH) in an alpha 2 beta 2 structure [3].
  • The acetohydroxy acid synthase III isozyme, which catalyzes the first common step in the biosynthesis of isoleucine, leucine, and valine in Escherichia coli K-12, is composed of two subunits, the ilvI and ilvH gene products [4].
  • Analysis of plasmids containing ilvIH-galK fusions indicated that the Escherichia coli ilvIH promoter and sequences sufficient to cause leucine repression lie within 363 base pairs (bp) of ilvI [5].
  • An analysis of the distribution of methionine residues in the amino-terminal portion of micro-quantities of the ilvI product eluted from gel showed that the translational start of the ilvI gene is the promoter-proximal one of three putative methionine codons predicted from the DNA sequence [6].
 

Biological context of ilvI

  • The ilvI and ilvH gene products were identified physically by electrophoretic analysis of in vivo-labelled polypeptides produced in minicells from plasmids carrying the wild-type ilvIH operon of Escherichia coli K-12 and derivatives of it [6].
