Archaeal Shikimate Kinase, a New Member of the GHMP-Kinase Family [PDF]
ABSTRACTShikimate kinase (EC2.7.1.71) is a committed enzyme in the seven-step biosynthesis of chorismate, a major precursor of aromatic amino acids and many other aromatic compounds. Genes for all enzymes of the chorismate pathway except shikimate kinase are found in archaeal genomes by sequence homology to their bacterial counterparts.

Molecular phenotyping of the pal1 and pal2 mutants of Arabidopsis thaliana reveals far-reaching consequences on phenylpropanoid, amino acid, and carbohydrate metabolism [PDF]
The first enzyme of the phenylpropanoid pathway, Phe ammonia-lyase (PAL), is encoded by four genes in Arabidopsis thaliana. Whereas PAL function is well established in various plants, an insight into the functional significance of individual gene family ...

The acanthamoeba shikimate pathway has a unique molecular arrangement and is essential for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis [PDF]
The shikimate pathway is the only known biosynthetic route for de novo synthesis of aromatic compounds. It is described as an ancient eukaryotic innovation that has been retained in a subset of eukaryotes, replaced in plants through the acquisition of ...

Shikimate Kinase Isoenzymes in Salmonella typhimurium
Abstract A study was undertaken of the shikimate kinase activity of extracts of Salmonella typhimurium. Chromatography on diethylaminoethyl cellulose revealed consistently the presence of two widely separated peaks of activity, the faster moving enzyme being more unstable than the slower moving, major enzymic constituent.

Organellar carbon metabolism is co-ordinated with distinct developmental phases of secondary xylem [PDF]
Subcellular compartmentation of plant biosynthetic pathways in the mitochondria and plastids requires coordinated regulation of nuclear encoded genes, and the role of these genes has been largely ignored by wood researchers. In this study, we constructed

Shikimate binding in Helicobacter pylori Shikimate Kinase
Shikimate kinase (EC 2.7.1.71) catalyzes the specific phosphorylation of the 3‐hydroxyl group of shikimic acid in the presence of ATP. As the fifth key step in shikimate pathway for aromatic amino acid biosynthesis in bacteria, fungi, and plants, but not mammals, shikimate kinase represents an attractive target for the development ...
