Suppression of Chorismate Mutase 1 in Hybrid Poplar to Investigate Potential Redundancy in the Supply of Lignin Precursors [PDF]

Plant Direct
Chorismate is an important branchpoint metabolite in the biosynthesis of lignin and a wide array of metabolites in plants. Chorismate mutase (CM), the enzyme responsible for transforming chorismate into prephenate, is a key regulator of metabolic flux ...

Properties and Functional Analysis of Two Chorismate Mutases from Maritime Pine

Cells
Through the shikimate pathway, a massive metabolic flux connects the central carbon metabolism with the synthesis of chorismate, the common precursor of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, as well as other compounds ...

The importance of chorismate mutase in the biocontrol potential of Trichoderma parareesei

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Species of Trichoderma exert direct biocontrol activity against soil-borne plant pathogens due to their ability to compete for nutrients and to inhibit or kill their targets through the production of antibiotics and/or hydrolytic enzymes.

Plant salicylic acid signaling is inhibited by a cooperative strategy of two powdery mildew effectors [PDF]

mBio
Powdery mildew is a global threat to crops and economically valuable plants. Salicylic acid (SA) signaling plays a significant role in plant resistance to biotrophic parasites; however, the mechanisms behind how powdery mildew fungi circumvent SA ...

Accurate Computation of Thermodynamic Activation Parameters in the Chorismate Mutase Reaction from Empirical Valence Bond Simulations

Journal of Chemical Theory and Computation, 2023
Chorismate mutase (CM) enzymes have long served as model systems for benchmarking new methods and tools in computational chemistry. Despite the enzymes’ prominence in the literature, the extent of the roles that activation enthalpy and entropy play in ...

Revisiting the dual pathway hypothesis of Chorismate production in plants

Horticulture Research, 2022
The shikimate pathway, the seven enzymatic steps that synthesize chorismate from phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose 4-phosphate, produces the last common precursor of the three aromatic amino acids.

AroC, a Chorismate Synthase, is Required for the Formation of Edwardsiella tarda biofilms.

Microbes and infection, 2022
Biofilms contribute to the resistance of Edwardsiella tarda to antibiotics and host immunity. AroC in the shikimate pathway produces chorismate to synthesize crucial intermediates such as indole.

Chorismate- and isochorismate converting enzymes: versatile catalysts acting on an important metabolic node.

Chemical Communications, 2021
Chorismate and isochorismate represent an important branching point connecting primary and secondary metabolism in bacteria, fungi, archaea and plants. Chorismate- and isochorismate-converting enzymes are potential targets for new bioactive compounds, as

Over-Expression of Chorismate Mutase Enhances the Accumulation of Salicylic Acid, Lignin, and Antioxidants in Response to the White-Backed Planthopper in Rice Plants

Antioxidants, 2021
The white-backed planthopper (WBPH) is a serious pest of rice crop and causes sever yield loss each year, especially in Asian countries. In this study, we used chorismate mutase (CM) transgenic line to examine the defense mechanism of rice plants against
