4.2.1.144	physiological function	enzyme is part of the aminoshikimate pathway of formation of 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid, the precursor of ansamycin and other antibiotics. Nitrogenous precursor Kanosamine is phosphorylated and converted into 1-deoxy-1-imino-erythrose 4-phosphate, the substrate for the formation of 3,4-dideoxy-4-amino-D-arabino-seduheptulosonic acid 7-phosphate. This is converted via 5-deoxy-5-aminodehydroquinic acid and 5-deoxy-5-aminodehydroshikimic acid into 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid. 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoic acid synthase seems to have two catalytic functions. As a homodimer, it catalyzes the last reaction in the pathway, the aromatization of 5-deoxy-5-aminodehydroshikimic acid, and at the beginning of the pathway in a complex with the oxidoreductase RifL it catalyzes the transamination of UDP-3-keto-D-glucose	Amycolatopsis mediterranei
