Abstract InEuglena gracilis the growth inhibition by threonine was accompanied by a rapid accumulation of isoleucine in the cells. Among threonine-catabolizing enzymes only threonine dehydratase was detected in high activity inEuglena, and 2-oxobutyrate, the dehydratase products of threonine, also inhibited as did threonine. Threonine dehydratase was located in the cytosol, and its activity was not affected by isoleucine and related amino acids. 2-Oxobutyrate strongly inhibited the synthesis of valine from pyruvate while augmented the synthesis of isoleucine in mitochondria.
