EC 2.6.1.123 Details
EC number
2.6.1.123
Accepted name
4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase (2-amino-4-deoxychorismate-forming)
Reaction
chorismate + 2 L-glutamine + H2O = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + 2 L-glutamate + ammonia (overall reaction);;(1a) 2 L-glutamine + 2 H2O = 2 L-glutamate + 2 NH3;;(1b) chorismate + NH3 = (2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate + H2O;;(1c) (2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate + NH3 = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + NH3
Other name(s)
ADCS (ambiguous), ADC synthase (ambiguous), pabAB (gene names)
Systematic name
chorismate:L-glutamine aminotransferase (2-amino-4-deoxychorismate-forming)
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, is a heterodimer. The PabA subunit acts successively on two molecules of L-glutamine, hydrolysing each to L-glutamate and ammonia (cf. EC 3.5.1.2, glutaminase). The ammonia molecules are channeled to the active site of PabB, which catalyses the formation of 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate from chorismate in two steps via the intermediate 2-amino-4-deoxychorismate. cf. EC 2.6.1.85, aminodeoxychorismate synthase.
