Definition of trpB

• HMM TIGR00263
• UniProt sequence P50383: RecName: Full=Tryptophan synthase beta chain 1; EC=4.2.1.20;
• Curated sequence Q97TX6: tryptophan synthase (EC 4.2.1.20)
• Ignore hits to items matching EC 4.2.1.20 when looking for 'other' hits
• Ignore hits to items matching EC 4.2.1.122 when looking for 'other' hits
• Comment: Some members of TIGR01415 might also have this activity. The family also includes indole-scavenging "trpB-2" proteins, whose presence generally indicates tryptophan synthesis (EC 4.2.1.122). The enzyme from Pyrolobus is not matched by the HMM, but is similar to the characterized trpB from Sulfolobus (P50383, see PMID:11029579) or Saccharolobus (Q97TX6) "TrpB2" proteins are reported to use phosphoserine (an intermediate in serine synthesis) rather than serine as a substrate (PMID:25184516); GapMind does not try to distinguish them from TrpB.
