UniProt functional annotation for P0AB91

UniProt code: P0AB91.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
Function: Stereospecific condensation of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and D-erythrose-4-phosphate (E4P) giving rise to 3-deoxy-D-arabino- heptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP).
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=D-erythrose 4-phosphate + H2O + phosphoenolpyruvate = 7- phospho-2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptonate + phosphate; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:14717, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:16897, ChEBI:CHEBI:43474, ChEBI:CHEBI:58394, ChEBI:CHEBI:58702; EC=2.5.1.54;
Pathway: Metabolic intermediate biosynthesis; chorismate biosynthesis; chorismate from D-erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate: step 1/7.
Subunit: Homotetramer.
Miscellaneous: There are 3 DAHP synthases, AroG is feedback-inhibited by Phe. The other 2 DAHP synthases are Tyr- and Trp-sensitive, respectively.
Similarity: Belongs to the class-I DAHP synthase family. {ECO:0000305}.
