Modification of aspartate before its condensation with dihydroxyacetone phosphate during quinolinic acid formation in Escherichia coli
Abstract
A crude enzyme preparation from a nadA mutant of Escherichia coli was used to catalyze the conversion of [14C]aspartic acid into a precursor of quinolinic acid, a key intermediate in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide.
