  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. 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.

  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. 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 pathway ultimately converts phosphoenolpyruvate and 4-erythrose phosphate into chorismate, the precursor to aromatic amino acids. 3-Dehydroquinate synthase is the enzyme that catalyzes reaction in the second step of this pathway. This second step of the reaction eliminates a phosphate from 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate, which ...

  7. 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.

  8. Shikimate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikimate_dehydrogenase

    The shikimate pathway is a target for herbicides and other non-toxic drugs because the shikimate pathway is not present in humans. Glyphosate, a commonly used herbicide, is an inhibitor of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase or EPSP synthase, an enzyme in the shikimate pathway. The problem is that this herbicide has been utilized for ...

  9. Phenylpropanoid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylpropanoid

    The phenylpropanoids are a diverse family of organic compounds that are biosynthesized by plants from the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine in the shikimic acid pathway. [1] Their name is derived from the six-carbon, aromatic phenyl group and the three-carbon propene tail of coumaric acid , which is the central intermediate in ...
