  2. Shikimate pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_pathway

    Shikimate 3-phosphate is then coupled with phosphoenol pyruvate to give 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate via the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase. Glyphosate, the herbicidal ingredient in Roundup , is a competitive inhibitor of EPSP synthase, acting as a transition state analog that binds more tightly to the EPSPS-S3P ...

  3. DAHP synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DAHP_synthase

    3-Deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase (EC 2.5.1.54) is the first enzyme in a series of metabolic reactions known as the shikimate pathway, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of the amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. Since it is the first enzyme in the shikimate pathway, it controls the amount of ...

  4. Shikimic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimic_acid

    The shikimate pathway, named after shikimic acid as important intermediate, is a seven-step metabolic route used by bacteria, fungi, algae, parasites, and plants for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids (phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan).

  5. 3-dehydroquinate synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-dehydroquinate_synthase

    The shikimate pathway is composed of seven steps, each catalyzed by an enzyme. The shikimate pathway is responsible for producing the precursors for aromatic amino acids, which are essential to our diets because we cannot synthesize them in our bodies. Only plants, bacteria, and microbial eukaryotes are capable of producing aromatic amino acids.

  6. Shikimate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_dehydrogenase

    In enzymology, a shikimate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.25) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction shikimate + NADP + ⇌ {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } 3-dehydroshikimate + NADPH + H + Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are shikimate and NADP + , whereas its 3 products are 3-dehydroshikimate , NADPH , and H + .

  7. Shikimate kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_kinase

    Shikimate kinase (EC 2.7.1.71) is an enzyme that catalyzes the ATP-dependent phosphorylation of shikimate to form shikimate 3-phosphate. [1] This reaction is the fifth step of the shikimate pathway, [2] which is used by plants and bacteria to synthesize the common precursor of aromatic amino acids and secondary metabolites.

  9. Chorismate mutase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chorismate_mutase

    In enzymology, chorismate mutase (EC 5.4.99.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction for the conversion of chorismate to prephenate in the pathway to the production of phenylalanine and tyrosine, also known as the shikimate pathway. Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, chorismate, and one product, prephenate. Chorismate mutase is ...
