| Glossary: |
2-amino-3,7-dideoxy-D-threo-hept-6-ulosonate = 2-amino-2,3,7-trideoxy-D-lyxo-hept-6-ulosonate |
| Other name(s): |
DHQ synthase II; MJ1249 (gene name); aroB′ (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
2-amino-3,7-dideoxy-D-threo-hept-6-ulosonate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (deaminating) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, which was isolated from the archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, plays a key role in an alternative pathway for the biosynthesis of 3-dehydroquinate (DHQ), an intermediate of the canonical pathway for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. The enzyme catalyses a two-step reaction - an oxidative deamination, followed by cyclization. |
