| Abstract |
The Saccharomyces cerevisiae HOM6 gene, encoding homoserine dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.3) was cloned and its nucleotide sequence determined. The yeast homoserine dehydrogenase shows extensive homology to the homoserine dehydrogenase domains of the two aspartokinase-homoserine dehydrogenases from Escherichia coli as well as to the homoserine dehydrogenases from Gram positive bacteria. Sequence alignment reveals that the yeast enzyme is the smallest homoserine dehydrogenase known, owing to the absence of a C-terminal domain endowed with the L-threonine allosteric response in Gram positive bacteria. Accordingly, the S. cerevisiae enzyme appears to be a naturally occurring feedback resistant homoserine dehydrogenase. Our results indicate that homoserine dehydrogenase was originally an unregulated enzyme and that feedback control acquisition occurred twice during evolution after the divergence between Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. |
