3-dehydroquinate synthase AroB

InterPro entry
Short nameDHQ_synth_AroB
domain relationships

Description

The 3-dehydroquinate synthase (DHQS) domain can exist in isolation or as a domain in the pentafunctional AROM polypeptide (
P07547
)
[1]
. 3-dehydroquinate synthase catalyses the formation of dehydroquinate (DHQ) and orthophosphate from 3-deoxy-D-arabino heptulosonic 7 phosphate
[2]
. This reaction is part of the shikimate pathway which is involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
