EC 4.2.3.5 Details
EC number
4.2.3.5
Accepted name
chorismate synthase
Reaction
5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate = chorismate + phosphate
Other name(s)
5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate phosphate-lyase
Systematic name
5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate phosphate-lyase (chorismate-forming)
CAS registry number
9077-07-0
Comment
Requires FMN. The reaction goes via a radical mechanism that involves reduced FMN and its semiquinone (FMNH·). Shikimate is numbered so that the double-bond is between C-1 and C-2, but some earlier papers numbered the ring in the reverse direction.
History
created 1978 as EC 4.6.1.4, modified 1983, transferred 2000 to EC 4.2.3.5, modified 2002
