tnaA
Pathway
Amino-acid degradation; L-tryptophan degradation via pyruvate pathway; indole and pyruvate from L-tryptophan: step 1/1.
Sequence Similarities
Belongs to the beta-eliminating lyase family.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
- Almost exclusively localized in foci near 1 cell pole in mid-to-late exponential phase, fewer cells have foci at stationary phase; polar localization depends on the minCDE operon.
