chorismate = isochorismate
overall reaction, salicylate sythase converts chorismate into salicylate via an isochorismate intermediate. The isochorismatase activity of bifunctional enzyme MbtI requires Lys205, which nucleophilically activates a water molecule for attack on chorismate at C-6 and Glu252 that polarizes the C-4 hydroxyl-leaving group
the bifunctional salicylate synthase converts chorismate into salicylate through a two-step reaction, exhibiting both isochorismate synthase (EC 5.4.4.2) and isochorismate lyase (EC 4.2.99.21) activities

design, synthesis and biochemical evaluation of inhibitor 4 based on the putative transition-state (TS) for the isochorismatase partial reaction of MbtI. The inhibitor mimics the hypothesized charge build-up at C-4 of chorismate in the TS as well as C-O bond-formation at C-6. Another important design element of the inhibitor is replacement of the labile pyruvate side-chain in chorismate with a stable C-linked propionate isostere. Development of a stereocontrolled synthesis of the highly functionalized cyclohexene inhibitor that features an asymmetric aldol reaction using a titanium enolate, diastereoselective Grignard addition to a tert-butanesulfinyl aldimine, and ring closing olefin metathesis as key steps
the first committed step during the biosynthesis of siderophores, which are small molecules capable of chelating iron from the host organism, is the conversion of chorismate into isochorismate by isochorismate synthase (EC 5.4.4.2) and consequently to salicylate by isochorismate pyruvate-lyase (EC 4.2.99.21). the bifunctional salicylate synthase converts chorismate into salicylate through a two-step reaction, exhibiting both isochorismate synthase (EC 5.4.4.2) and isochorismate lyase (EC 4.2.99.21) activities
the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the siderophore mycobactin. Chorismate-utilizing enzymes (CUE) such as chorismate mutase, anthranilate synthase, chorismate pyruvate-lyase, 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase, isochorismate synthase and salicylate synthase are responsible for converting chorismate into various products necessary for the survival of bacteria

mycobactins are small-molecule iron chelators (siderophores) produced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) for iron mobilization. Siderophores are small-molecule iron chelators that scavenge iron from host tissues and uptake of heme through a specialized heme receptor followed by heme degradation to release the iron. The bifunctional salicylate synthase MbtI catalyzes the first step of mycobactin biosynthesis through the conversion of the primary metabolite chorismate into salicylic acid via isochorismate

sitting-drop vapur diffusion, crystals diffrect to a maximum resolution of 1.8 A. They belong to space group O2(1)2(1)2(1) with unit-cell parameters a = 51.8 A, b = 163.4 A, c = 194.9 A
enzyme MbtI represents an appealing target for development of inhibitors of mycobactin biosynthesis since it is structurally and biochemically characterized, has no human orthologues, and is conditionally essential under iron-deficient conditions. Inhibitors are designed against the isochorismatase activity of the enzyme (EC 5.4.4.2)
