Enzyme Information

4.2.99.21
Isochorismate lyase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WFX1
Isochorismate = salicylate + pyruvate.
-!- This enzyme is part of the pathway of salicylate formation from chorismate, and forms an integral part of pathways that produce salicylate-derived siderophores, such as pyochelin and yersiniabactin.
5.4.99.5
Chorismate mutase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WFX1
Chorismate = prephenate.
5.4.4.2
Isochorismate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WFX1
Chorismate = isochorismate.
-!- The reaction is reversible. -!- Formerly EC 5.4.99.6.
