ENZYME entry: EC 2.6.1.85

Accepted Name
aminodeoxychorismate synthase.
Alternative Name(s)
4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase.
ADC synthase.
Reaction catalysed
chorismate + L-glutamine <=> 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate + L-glutamate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme is composed of two parts, a glutaminase (PabA in Escherichia coli) and an aminotransferase (PabB).
  • In the absence of PabA and glutamine (but in the presence of Mg(2+)), PabB can convert ammonia and chorismate into 4-amino-4- deoxychorismate.
  • PabA converts glutamine into glutamate only in the presence of stoichiometric amounts of PabB.
  • In many organisms, including plants, the genes encoding the two proteins have fused to encode a single bifunctional protein. This enzyme is coupled with EC 4.1.3.38 to form 4-aminobenzoate. cf. EC 2.6.1.123.
  • Formerly EC 6.3.5.8.
