Abstract
Valine coordinately increases the levels of three of the enzymes participating in the biosynthesis of isoleucine and valine in
Mycobacterium pellegrino
. The amount of valine required for end-product induction depends on the condition of the cells. Isoleucine inhibits the effect of valine. Acetohydroxy acid synthetase, the enzyme catalyzing the first common step in the biosynthesis of valine and isoleucine, is inhibited by valine. The induction effect of valine appears to be due to its ability to inhibit the activity of this enzyme, thus causing isoleucine deficiency, which in turn leads to derepression. This conclusion is supported by the fact that valine, under certain conditions, inhibits growth.
