Yarrowia lipolytica LEU4 gene
2-isopropylmalate (LEU4) coding sequence from Yarrowia lipolytica .
Usage and Biology
2-isopropylmalate synthase is the first enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of leucine. This is a very important enzyme in the pathway as it serves as a regulatory point in the biosynthesis pathway. The protein has a leucine binding domain which allows for down regulation of the pathway through negative-feedback inhibition of the enzyme. Expression of this enzyme especially on a strong promoter could be used to up-regulate leucine synthesis and produce a leucine overproducing strain.
