Roy L. Kisliuk,* Yvette Gaumont, Eileen Lafer, Charles M. Baugh, and John A. Montgomery abstract: Tetrahydropteroylpolyglutamates containing up to seven Glu residues were tested as substrates for Lactoba-cillus casei thymidylate synthase. The Km values decreased from 24 µ for the monoglutamate to 1.8 µ for the tri-glutamate. Addition of residues 4, 5, 6, and 7 did not decrease the Km further. When monoglutamate and polyglutamate substrates were simultaneously incubated with the enzyme, the rate observed was characteristic of the polyglutamate even when the monoglutamate concentration was 44 times that of the polyglutamate. Iodoacetamide treatment inhibited theTetrahydrofolic acid (H4PteGlu) 1 is commonly found in tissues in the form of poly (-glutamyl) derivatives (Baugh & Krumdieck, 1971). However, most studies on folate requiring enzymes employ H4PteGU] as substrate because of its ready availability. Folateenzymes generally show a higher afffmity for the polyglutamates than for H4PteGlu!(Baggott & Krumdieck, 1979; Cheng et al., 1975; Coward et al., 1974; Curthoys & Rabinowitz, 1972; Kisliuk et al., 1974; Mackenzie & Baugh, 1980; Matthews & Baugh, 1980). In view of the importance of thymidylate synthase (5, 10-methylenetetra-hydrofolate: dUMP C-methyltransferase, EC 2.1. 1.45) in
