Example sentences for: kynu
How can you use “kynu” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Not only does it contain genes ( kynU and kprS ) that are not components of the classical tryptophan operon, but these genes are not even present in other chlamydiae.
The host enzyme catalyzing the latter reaction is, in fact, a kynureninase which is a homolog of the C. psittaci KynU.
A rationale for inclusion of kprS and kynU in the C. psittaci tryptophan operon can be visualized from an examination of Figure 2. The ability of C. psittaci to synthesize L-tryptophan requires an alternative source of anthranilate (other than chorismate) as C. psittaci lacks anthranilate synthase.
It seems likely that the C. psittaci KynU is specific for kynurenine, whereas the mammalian host may possess isozymes of different substrate specificity in different tissues.
Thus, there is no evidence for a recent LGT of kynU between C. psittaci and H. sapiens.
