EC 2.6.1.85 Details
EC number
2.6.1.85
Accepted name
aminodeoxychorismate synthase
Reaction
chorismate + L-glutamine = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + L-glutamate (overall reaction);;(1a) L-glutamine + H2O = L-glutamate + NH3;;(1b) chorismate + NH3 = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + H2O
Other name(s)
ADC synthase, 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase, PabAB, chorismate:L-glutamine amido-ligase (incorrect)
Systematic name
chorismate:L-glutamine aminotransferase
Comment
The enzyme is composed of two parts, a glutaminase (PabA in Escherichia coli) and an aminotransferase (PabB). In the absence of PabA and glutamine (but in the presence of Mg2+), PabB can convert ammonia and chorismate into 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate. PabA converts glutamine into glutamate only in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of PabB. In many organisms, including plants, the genes encoding the two proteins have fused to encode a single bifunctional protein. This enzyme is coupled with EC 4.1.3.38, aminodeoxychorismate lyase, to form 4-aminobenzoate. cf. EC 2.6.1.123, 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase (2-amino-4-deoxychorismate-forming).
