Enzyme Information

2.6.1.85
Aminodeoxychorismate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P05041
Chorismate + L-glutamine = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + L-glutamate.
-!- Composed of two subunits, PabA and PabB. -!- In the absence of PabA and glutamine, PabB converts ammonia and chorismate into 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate. -!- PabA converts glutamine into glutamate only in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of PabB. -!- Coupled with EC 4.1.3.38, to form 4-aminobenzoate. -!- Formerly EC 6.3.5.8.
