Substrate channeling between enzymes has an important role in cellular metabolism by compartmentalizing cytoplasmic synthetic processes. The bacterial tryptophan synthases are multienzyme nanomachines that catalyze the last two steps in L-tryptophan biosynthesis. The common metabolite indole is transferred from one enzyme to the other in each up-dimeric unit of the alpha(2)beta(2) complex via an interconnecting 25-angstrom-long tunnel. Recent solution studies of the Salmonella typhimurium alpha(2)beta(2) complex coupled with X-ray crystal-structure determinations of complexes with substrates, intermediates and substrate analogs have driven important breakthroughs concerning the identification of the linkages between the bi-enzyme complex structure, catalysis at the alpha- and beta-active sites, and the allosteric regulation of substrate channeling.
