  2. Shikimate pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_pathway

    The shikimate pathway (shikimic acid pathway) is a seven-step metabolic pathway used by bacteria, archaea, fungi, algae, some protozoans, and plants for the biosynthesis of folates and aromatic amino acids (tryptophan, phenylalanine, and tyrosine). This pathway is not found in mammals.

  3. 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).

  4. 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.

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. EPSP synthase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPSP_synthase

    EPSP synthase catalyzes the reaction which converts shikimate-3-phosphate plus phosphoenolpyruvate to 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) by way of an acetal-like tetrahedral intermediate. [ 9 ] [ 10 ] Basic and acidic amino acids in the active site are involved in deprotonation of the hydroxyl group of PEP and in the proton-exchange ...

  8. 3-dehydroquinate dehydratase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-dehydroquinate_dehydratase

    3-Dehydroquinate Dehydratase is an enzyme that catalyzes the third step of the shikimate pathway. The shikimate pathway is a biosynthetic pathway that allows plants, fungi, and bacteria to produce aromatic amino acids. [2] Mammals do not have this pathway, meaning that they must obtain these essential amino acids through their diet.

  9. Prephenate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prephenate_dehydrogenase

    Shikimate pathway: Arogenate/Prephenate (ADH/PDH). Although in the shikimate pathway arogenate and prephenate dehydrogenase catalyze different reactions, they can at times be used interchangeably. [2] TyrA (tyrosine A: within the tyrosine pathway) [3] Prephenate dehydrogenase [4] Prephenate (Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ...
