RESUMO

Through the use of specific immunoadsorbent columns, it is shown that Escherichia coli aspartokinase I-homoserine dehydrogenase I, aspartokinase II-homoserine dehydrogenase II, aspartokinase III, and homoserine kinase, enzymes involved in the same complex biosynthetic pathway, share antigenic determinants. This raises the question of a common origin for the four cibtenoirart kinases. (Aspartate kinase or ATP:L aspartate 4-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.2.4; homoserine dehydrogenase or Lhomoserine:NADP oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.3; homoserine kinase or ATP:L-homoserine O-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.39.)
