Shikimate Metabolic Pathway Engineering in Corynebacterium glutamicum
Shikimate is a key high-demand metabolite for synthesizing valuable antiviral drugs, such as the anti-influenza drug, oseltamivir (Tamiflu). Microbial-based strategies for shikimate production have been developed to overcome the unstable and expensive supply of shikimate derived from traditional plant extraction processes.

Evolutionary origins of the eukaryotic shikimate pathway : gene fusions, horizontal gene transfer, and endosymbiotic replacements [PDF]
Currently the shikimate pathway is reported as a metabolic feature of prokaryotes, ascomycete fungi, apicomplexans, and plants. The plant shikimate pathway enzymes have similarities to prokaryote homologues and are largely active in chloroplasts ...

The formation of homogentisate in the biosynthesis of tocopherol and plastoquinone in spinach chloroplasts [PDF]
Homogentisate is the precursor in the biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 in chloroplasts. It is formed of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate of the shikimate pathway by the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase.

Quinate-enhanced glyphosate toxicity is related to the accumulation of quinate derivatives
Glyphosate is the most widely used herbicide and works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) of the shikimate pathway, preventing the aromatic amino acid biosynthesis.

Creation of a Shikimate Pathway Variant
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
