Abstract
Leucine synthesis was found to be localized in chloroplasts of higher plants. The introductory enzyme of the isopropylmalate pathway, the 2-isopropylmalate synthase, was strongly feedback-regulated by leucine. The pH optimum of the enzyme was between 7.0 and 9.0. The Km values were 5 microM for acetyl-CoA and 75 microM for 2-oxoisovalerate.Entities:
