Abstract
An inhibitor of the tryptophan‐synthase‐inactivating enzymes has been isolated from bakers' yeast and purified 27‐fold on a protein basis, by heat treatment, precipitation by trichloroacetic acid, ethanol fractionation and acid precipitation. The inhibitory activity of the purified material is not affected by incubation with RNAase, DNAase, or muramidase, but is destroyed by incubation with pronase or trypsin. Inhibitory activity depends, therefore, on the protein content of the material.The extent to which the inactivating enzymes are inhibited is proportional to inhibitor concentration. Tryptophan‐synthase inactivases I and II are both inhibited. The inhibitor appears to be specific in its action: it is much more effective than soybean trypsin inhibitor in inhibiting the inactivases, but has comparatively little effect on the esterolytic activity of trypsin.Inhibitory activity was measured in crude extracts of Saccharomyces cerevisiae growing in batch culture. In the exponential growth phase, the inhibitor was barely detectable, but its levels subsequently rose at the end of the exponential phase and in the stationary phase. The possible biological significance of these observations is discussed.
