FunFam 2: Chorismate synthase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Chorismate synthase. [EC: 4.2.3.5]
5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate = chorismate + phosphate.
  • The reaction goes via a radical mechanism that involves reduced FMN and its semiquinone (FMNH.).
  • Shikimate is numbered so that the double-bond is between C-1 and C-2, but some earlier papers numbered the ring in the reverse direction.
  • Formerly EC 4.6.1.4.
