2.6.1.86

Accepted name:

2-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase

Reaction:

(2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate + L-glutamate = chorismate + L-glutamine

Glossary:

(2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate = (2S,3S)-3-(1-carboxyvinyloxy)-2,3-dihydroanthranilate

Other name(s):

ADIC synthase; 2-amino-2-deoxyisochorismate synthase; SgcD

Systematic name:

(2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase

Comments:

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].
