EC 2.6.1.86 Details
EC number
2.6.1.86
Accepted name
2-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase
Reaction
(2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate + L-glutamate = chorismate + L-glutamine
Other name(s)
ADIC synthase, 2-amino-2-deoxyisochorismate synthase, SgcD
Systematic name
(2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase
Comment
Requires Mg2+. The reaction occurs in the reverse direction to that shown above. In contrast to most anthranilate-synthase I (ASI) homologues, this enzyme is not inhibited by tryptophan. In Streptomyces globisporus, the sequential action of this enzyme and EC 1.3.99.24, 2-amino-4-deoxychorismate dehydrogenase, leads to the formation of the benzoxazolinate moiety of the enediyne antitumour antibiotic C-1027 [1,2]. In certain Pseudomonads the enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of phenazine, a precursor for several compounds with antibiotic activity [3,4].
