摘要
Strains of Catharanthus roseus suspension cells resistant to growth inhibition by various tryptophan analogs were selected. Tryptophan synthetase and anthranilate synthetase from the resistant cells differed from the normal cell enzymes by being more resistant to feedback inhibition by tryptophan. Though these altered enzymes allowed the free tryptophan level of the resistant cells to be 3-40 times higher than that of normal cells, the accumulation of tryptamine or ajmalicine could not be detected in the resistant cells. © 1979.
