L-Tryptophan is known as an aromatic amino acid and one of the essential amino acids that must be ingested through various additives or food. TrpCF is a bifunctional enzyme that has indole-glycerol-phosphate synthase (IGPS) and phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase (PRAI) activity. In this report, we identified the crystal structure of TrpCF from Corynebacterium glutamicum ( Cg TrpCF) and successfully elucidated the active site by attaching rCdRP similar to the substrate and product of the TrpCF reaction. Also, we revealed that Cg TrpCF shows a conformational change at the loops upon substrate binding. We analyzed amino acid sequences of the homologues of Cg TrpCF, and the residues of the substrate-binding site in TrpCF were highly conserved except for some residues. These less conserved residues were replaced by site-directed mutagenesis experiments. Consequently, we obtained the Cg TrpCF P294K (PRAI CD/P294K ) variant that has enhanced activity.
