Salmonella typhimurium prototrophs carrying a trpR mutation synthesize tryptophan biosynthetic enzymes constitutively. When feedback inhibition of anthranilate synthetase but not 5'-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase activity was by-passed by growing cells on media supplemented with anthranilic acid, all trpR prototrophs overproduced and excreted tryptophan. However, the rate of tryptophan production depended on both the ancestry of the trpR strain and the integrity of its trpA gene. Prototrophs with trp genes derived from S. typhimurium strain LT2 produced tryptophan more efficiently than those with trp genes derived from strain LT7. This strain difference was cryptic insofar as it did not affect the growth rate; it was revealed only as a rate-limiting step in the constitutive biosynthesis of tryptophan in the presence of anthranilic acid, and was due to a lesion in the LT7-derived trpB gene. Strains with LT7-derived trp genes bearing a deletion in trpA produced tryptophan as readily as LT2 trpR prototrophs. This indicated that LT7-specific 5-phosphoribosylpyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase must be aggregated with the trpA gene produce to give an observable reduction of constitutive tryptophan production. The discovery of this strain difference has particular implications for studies involving the activities of trpA and B genes and their products in S. typhimurium and may have general significance for other studies involving different strains of Salmonella.
