ADDITIONAL INFORMATION for HIS6
SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for HIS6
HIS6 encodes N-(5'-phospho-D-ribosylformimino)-5-amino-1-(5''-phosphoribosyl)-4-imidazole carboxamide isomerase, which catalyzes the fourth step in histidine biosynthesis (1, 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 HIS6, as well as in genes encoding other histidine biosynthetic enzymes, cause histidine auxotrophy and sensitivity to copper, cobalt, and nickel salts (2).
