Definition
Catalysis of the reaction: 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate = 4-aminobenzoate + H(+) + pyruvate
Comment
Note that the name 'para-amino benzoic acid synthase' was initially given to the 'aminodeoxychorismate synthase' activity before the additional 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase activity was discovered. It is the lyase activity that actually produces para-aminobenzoic acid from 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate.
