The anthranilate synthetase activity of the enzyme complex was quite unstable unless glutamine, MgCl2, TRIS and, most importantly, glycerol were included in the extraction buffer. The three-enzyme complex showed a molecular weight of 400,000 when estimated using Sephadex gel filtration, and a molecular weight of 200,000 when using sucrose density gradient centrifugation. At least two bands of anthranilate synthetase were detected on disc gel electrophoresis. An enzyme complex containing phosphoribosyl anthranilate synthetase and indoleglycerol phosphate synthetase, but no anthranilate synthetase, was isolated from Claviceps. This enzyme complex had an apparent molecular weight of 165,000 as estimated by sucrose gradient centrifugation. Anthranilate synthetase is inhibited by L-tryptophan and elymoclavine, the terminal ergot alkaloid produced by this strain of Claviceps.
