L-tryptophan + 2-oxoglutarate Ustilago maydis by conversion of tryptophan into indolepyruvate, enzyme is involved in pigment biosynthesis. Additionally, substrate 2-oxo-4-methylthiobutanoate links tryptophan deamination to sulfur metabolism L-glutamate + 3-indole-2-oxopropanoate L-tryptophan plus 3-indole-2-oxopropanoate may spontaneously form into indole pigments without further enzymatic activity ?
