SUMMARY PARAGRAPH for HIS4

HIS4 encodes a multifunctional polypeptide that has phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphatase, phosphoribosyl-AMP cyclohydrolase, and histidinol dehydrogenase activities. Phosphoribosyl-ATP pyrophosphatase and phosphoribosyl-AMP cyclohydrolase catalyze the second and third steps in histidine biosynthesis, respectively, and histidinol dehydrogenase catalyzes the last two steps (4). 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. (4). Mutations in HIS4, as well as in genes encoding other histidine biosynthetic enzymes, cause histidine auxotrophy and sensitivity to copper, cobalt, and nickel salts (5). Transcription of HIS4 is regulated by general amino acid control, in which the transcription factor Gcn4p plays a key role (reviewed in 6). The transcription factors Bas1p and Bas2p also activate HIS4 transcription (7). Because it is near a recombination hotspot, HIS4 has been widely used in studies of recombination (for example, see 8 and 9).
