ADDITIONAL INFORMATION for HIS2

SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for HIS2

HIS2 encodes histidinol-phosphatase, which catalyzes the eighth step in histidine biosynthesis (3). The biosynthesis of histidine has been most extensively studied in Salmonella typhimurium and E. coli. The reactions and enzymes involved in histidine biosynthesis have been identified in many organisms, and are thoroughly reviewed in Alifano et al. (3). Mutations in HIS2, as well as in genes encoding other histidine biosynthetic enzymes, cause histidine auxotrophy and sensitivity to copper, cobalt, and nickel salts (2). Transcription of HIS2 is regulated by general amino acid control, in which the transcription factor Gcn4p plays a key role (reviewed in 5). There is a recombination hotspot near the HIS2 coding sequence (6, 7).
