Function

Chorismate mutase (CHM) is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids Phe and Tyr. CHM catalyzes the rearrangement of chorismate to prephenate which is the precursor of Phe and Tyr[1]. CHM is divided into 2 classes: AroH class which is monofunctional and the bifunctional AroQ.

  • Bifunctional chorismate mutase/hexadienyl dehydratase catalyze 2 subsequent reactions in the biosynthesis of Phe[2].

Relevance

CHM belongs to the aromatic acids biogenesis pathway in prokaryotes which differs from that of humans. Hence, the presence of CHM indicates the presence of virulent bacteria and its detection is used in developing rational therapeutics against bacterial virulence[3].
