| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
enzyme of the first branch point of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
first committed step in the biosynthesis of the aromatic amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine in bacteria, fungi and higher plants |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
phenylalanine biosynthesis |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
shikimate pathway in bacteria, fungi and higher plants that leads to tyrosine and phenylalanine |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
the first enzyme of the terminal biosynthetic pathway of Phe and Tyr |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
catalyzes the first step in the branch of the shikimate pathway which leads to the aromatic amino acids, Phe and Tyr |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
the existence of a cytosolic isoenzyme in addition to the plastidic isoenzyme implies that either a cytosolic pathway, partial or complete, for the biosynthesis of Phe and Tyr exists, or that prephenate, originating from chorismate in the cytosol, is utilized for the synthesis of metabolites other than these two aromatic amino acids |
| 5.4.99.5 | Chorismate |
in the biosynthesis of Phe and Tyr, there are two enzymes or enzyme complexes metabolizing chorismate, one leading through prephenate to phenylpyruvate and the other leading through prephenate to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate |
