ID 2.6.1.123 DE 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase (2-amino-4-deoxychorismate-forming). AN ADCS. AN ADC synthase. CA chorismate + H2O + 2 L-glutamine = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + CA 2 L-glutamate + NH4(+). CC -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, is a CC heterodimer. CC -!- The PabA subunit acts successively on two molecules of L-glutamine, CC hydrolyzing each to L-glutamate and ammonia (cf. EC 3.5.1.2, CC glutaminase). CC -!- The ammonia molecules are channeled to the active site of PabB, which CC catalyzes the formation of 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate from chorismate CC in two steps, via the intermediate 2-amino-4-deoxychorismate. cf. CC EC 2.6.1.85. //
