abstract L-Tryptophan-a-ketoisocaproate aminotransferase (I) was purified from Pseudomonas species utilizing a-aminoisobutyrate. Purified I was homogeneous by polyacrylamide gel disc electrophoresis and ultracentrifugation. The mol. wt. was detd. to be 90,000 by sedimentation equil. and 110,000 by Sephadex G-150 gel filtration. The holoenzyme exhibited absorption max. at 330 and 415 nm. The addn. of L-leucine shifted the 415-nm peak to 330 nm. I showed a very broad substrate specificity, with high activity toward the branched-chain, straight-chain, and arom. amino acids and the corresponding a-keto acids, but it was not active with L-glutamate and a-ketoglutarate. The apparent Km values were as follows: L-leucine 0.4 mM, L-isoleucine 0.5 mM, L-valine 4.5 mM, L-phenylalanine 0.8 mM, L-tryptophan 1.4 mM, L-tyrosine 1.0 mM, a-ketoisocaproate 0.03 mM, a-ketoisovalerate 0.11 mM, and phenylpyruvate 0.08 mM.
