Abstract	The TyrR protein of Escherichia coli is the chief transcriptional regulator of several genes essential for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis and transport. It was established in previous studies that this protein binds ATP, that the TyrR.ATP complex has enhanced affinity for tyrosine, and that the susceptibility of the TyrR protein to hydrolysis by trypsin is altered by ATP. Here we show that the TyrR protein has ATPase activity, which is stimulated by tyrosine. In this respect the TyrR protein resembles the transcriptional activator NtrC. The NtrC protein contains an internal polypeptide segment, 220 amino acid residues in length, with a high degree of identity to the TyrR protein, that contains the presumptive ATPase catalytic center.
