Abstract
Dihydroxy [3-14C]acetone phosphate was prepared enzymatically from [1-14C]glucose and use as a substrate in a partially purified quinolinate synthetase system prepared from Escherichia coli mutants. Carbon-by-carbon degradation of the resulting [14C]quinolinate showed that 96% of the 14C was located in carbon-4, indicating that carbon-3 of dihydroxyacetone phosphate condenses with carbon-3 of aspartate in quinolinate synthesis in E. coli.Entities:
