Structure of shikimate kinase fromMycobacterium tuberculosisreveals the binding of shikimic acid [PDF]

open access: yesActa Crystallographica Section D: Biological Crystallography, 2004
Tuberculosis made a resurgence in the mid-1980s and now kills approximately 3 million people a year. The re-emergence of tuberculosis as a public health threat, the high susceptibility of HIV-infected persons and the proliferation of multi-drug-resistant

Enantiospecific synthesis of (−)-5-epi-shikimic acid and (−)-shikimic acid

Journal of the Chemical Society, Perkin Transactions 1, 1997
Diastereoselective reaction of 2,3-O-isopropylidene-D-ribose with allylmagnesium chloride gave a 5∶1 mixture of triols 4 and 5, which were then converted to nitrones 8 and 9. Intramolecular nitrone cycloaddition gave the isoxazolidines 10 and 11, which on acetylation gave the corresponding acetates 12 and 13 which were separated by repeated ...

Creation of a Shikimate Pathway Variant

Journal of the American Chemical Society, 2004
The competition between the Escherichia coli carbohydrate phosphotransferase system and 3-deoxy-d-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAHP) synthase for phosphoenolpyruvate limits the concentration and yield of natural products microbially synthesized via the shikimate pathway.

Carcinogenicity of bracken and shikimic acid

Nature, 1974
SINCE our initial reports of the carcinogenic potential of bracken for rats and mice1,2 part of our work has been directed towards the isolation of the causative factor(s). The assays used have included acute toxicity testing in mice (orally and intraperitoneally (i.p.)) and mutagen trials with Drosophila and mice, as well as long term cancer induction

Interaction of shikimic acid with shikimate kinase.

Biochemical and biophysical research communications, 2005
The crystal structure of shikimate kinase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MtSK) complexed with MgADP and shikimic acid (shikimate) has been determined at 2.3A resolution, clearly revealing the amino acid residues involved in shikimate binding. In MtSK, the Glu61 strictly conserved in SK forms a hydrogen bond and salt-bridge with Arg58 and assists in ...

The effect of shikimate onNostoc linckia

World Journal of Microbiology & Biotechnology, 1990
Growth, heterocyst frequency and nitrogenase-catalysed hydrogen evolution, but not nitrogenase activity, hydrogen uptake and photosynthetic O2 evolution activities of the cyanobacteriumNostoc linckia, were significantly affected by shikimic acid (up to 10 μg/ml). Exposure ofN.

The Shikimate Pathway

1979
The shikimate pathway is the major metabolic route leading to the formation of aromatic compounds in living systems. It operates in microorganisms and in higher plants, but not in animals, which is why the latter are dependent on a dietary supply of the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan.

The shikimate pathway. Part 9. Halogenation at C-3 of the shikimate nucleus

Tetrahedron, 1996
Abstract The use of (−)-shikimic acid as starting material in the syntheses of a series of C-3 halogenated derivatives including the analogous 3α- and 3β-fluoro and 3β-chloro acids is described together with the first stereospecific synthesis of (−)-3-epi-shikimic acid directly from the parent acid.

The Shikimate Pathway: Biosynthesis of Phenolic Products from Shikimic Acid

2016
Like other amino acids, the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are vitally important for protein synthesis in all organisms. However, while animals can synthesize tyrosine via oxidation of phenylalanine, they can synthesize neither phenylalanine itself nor tryptophan and so these essential amino acids must be obtained in the ...
