In the biosynthetic pathway of aromatic amino acids of Brevibacterium flavum, ratios of each biosynthetic flow at the chorismate branch point were calculated from the reaction velocities of anthranilate synthetase for tryptophan and chorismate mutase for phenylalanine and tyrosine at steady state concentrations of chorismate. When these aromatic amino acids were absent, the ratio was 61, showing an extremely preferential synthesis of tryptophan. The presence of tryptophan at 0.01 mM decreased the ratio to 0.07, showing a diversion of the preferential synthesis to phenylalanine and tyrosine. Complete recovery by glutamate of the ability to synthesize the Millon-positive substance in dialyzed cell extracts confirmed that tyrosine was synthesized via pretyrosine in this organism. Partially purified prephenate aminotransferase, the first enzyme in the tyrosine-specific branch, had a pH optimum of 8.0 and Kms of 0.45 and 22 mM for prephenate and glutamate, respectively, and its activity was increased 1 5-fold by pyridoxal-5-phosphate. Neither its activity nor its synthesis was affected at all by the presence of the end product tyrosine or other aromatic amino acids. The ratio of each biosynthetic flow for tyrosine and phenylalanine at the prephenate branch point was calculated from the kinetic equations of prephenate aminotransferase and prephenate dehydratase, the first enzyme in the phenylalanine-specific branch. It showed that tyrosine was synthesized in preference to phenylalanine when phenylalanine and tyrosine were absent. Furthermore, this preferential synthesis was diverted to a balanced synthesis of phenylalanine and tyrosine through activation of prephenate dehydratase by the tyrosine thus synthesized. The feedback inhibition of prephenate dehydratase by phenylalanine was proposed to play a role in maintaining a balanced synthesis when supply of prephenate was decreased by feedback inhibition of 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP*) synthetase, the common key enzyme. Overproduction of the end products in various regulatory mutants was also explained by these results.
