the enzyme is inhibited by tryptophan only in the presence of increasing amounts of stand-alone RAM domain protein SraA. Tryptophan acts as a specific inhibitor of the enzyme by binding to SraA
concentrations higher than 0.1 mM Zn2+ inhibit the enzyme activity (about 80% residual activity at 0.3 mM, about 65% residual activity at 0.5 mM, about 20% residual activity at 1.0 mM)
transferase activity of component II is only inhibitable by L-tryptophan when the component is in the complex, this inhibition does not appear to depend upon the feedback-sensitive site of complex I
when phosphoribosyltransferase is not an aggregate with anthranilate synthase, it is not subject to tryptophan inhibition, inhibitor site is on the anthranilate synthase component
concentrations higher than 0.2 mM Mg2+ inhibit the enzyme activity (about 85% residual activity at 0.25 mM, about 70% residual activity at 0.5 mM, about 60% residual activity at 1.0 mM)
