Chorismate Mutase
Introduction
The gene Rv1885c from Mycobacteriam tuberculosis encodes for a non-functional chorismate mutase (*MtCM)[1]. This non-functional mutase has a 33-amino-acid cleavable sequence [1]. It is a vital enzyme in the shikimate pathway, which allows for the synthesis of tryptophan, tyrosinem and phenylalanine [1]. This protein acts at the first branch point of the shikimate pathway, making it a regulating step in the conversion of prephenate from chorismate[2]. Chorismate mutase provides a 2x106 fold increase in the rate of reacrion in comparision to the uncatalyzed reaction [3]. Chorismate mutase only occurs in bacteria, higher plants, and fungi, due to the fact that the shikimate pathway is only found in these organisms [4]. In Escherichia coli, chorismate mutase has a periplasmic destination[1]. In M. tuberculosis there is in abscence of a periplasmic compartment for chorismate mutase, so it secretes into the culture filtrate of M. tuberculosis[1]. It is believed that a pseudoperiplasmic space might exist in M. tuberculosis[1]. The N-terminal sequence of M. tuberculosis chorismate mutase is able to function in E. coli which suggests that M. tuberulosis chorismate mutase belongs to the AroQ class of the chorismate mutases[2]. Rv1885c is synthesized along with the 33-amino-acid terminal sequence, which when expressed with E. coli, is cleaved off the mature protein[1]. Chorismate mutase is the only example of an enzyme catalyzing a percyclic reaction [4]

Chorismate mutase is a homodimer which has an all-α-helical structure [1]. There are 10 α-helicies spread across the two monomers of chorismate mutase [1]. The α-helical structure of M. tuberculosis chorismate mustase similar to the chorismate mutases of S. cerevisae and E. coli. It holds its dimeric state in a protein concentration as low as 5 nM [1]. Chorismate has an active site, which is used for the catalysis of the shikimate pathway [1]. The active site is made of Arg 49,Lys 60, Arg 72, Thr 105, Glu 109, and Arg 134[1]. This active site exists through electrostatic interactions with chorismate and hydrogen bonding between the amino acids [2]. The active site forms within a single chain [1]. The active site can form without any help from the second half of the dimer [1]. The molecular weight of chorismate mutase is 36,000 Da [1]. Based on the fact that each monomeric subunit has a molecular weight of 18,474 Da, the molecular weight of the molecule supports the theory that it is a dimer [1].

Size exclusion chromatography was performed to determine the oligomeric state of the protein. The output was a single peak corresponding to the dimeric state of the recombinant protein (data not shown). In this context, Mtb chorismate mutase is similar to the E. coli or yeast chorismate mutases, which are also dimers of identical subunits (24, 36). To determine the secondary structure of Mtb chorismate mutase, the CD spectrum was recorded on a JASON spectropolarimeter (Fig. 6). The data were analyzed using the K2D software available on-line. The results suggest a predominantly �-helical structure for the enzyme. This is reminiscent of the AroQ class of enzymes from yeast and E. coli (24, 37) that are also helical proteins. Members of the AroQ class of chorismate mutases consist of unregulated and regulated (AroQr) enzymes and are unusually divergent among closely related organisms (38). This structure showed 71% helices with essentially no �-sheets. 2222222222

in michaelis menten kinetics it has Km of 0.5 ± 0.05 mM and Kcat of 60 s-1 Chorismate mutase is an essential enzyme in the shikimate pathway [1]. This pathway allows for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylalanine [1]. The production of tyrosine and phenylalanine is achieved by what is called a Claisen arrangement. first converting chorismate to prephenate. Prephenate then reacts with prephenate dehydratase and prephenate dehydrogenase which forms phenylpyruvate and hydroxyphenylpyruvate. After this occurs, aminotransferase converts hydroxy-phenylpyruvate and phenylpyruvate to phenylalanine and tyrosine. Chorismate mutase provides a 2x106 fold increase in the rate of reaction, in comparison to the uncatalyzed reaction [5]. It is the only example of an enzyme catalyzing a percyclic reaction [4]
Chorismate Mutase and Tuberculosis
may be involved in pathogenesis. one can take advantage of non-occurance of CMs in humans to try to develop antimicrobial drugs for human pathogens such as tb no func in non-shik pathways like those of macrophages of mammals. target this for TB infection ph is 4.5 om tb macrophage enviro. acidic.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb)1 has developed ingenious mechanisms to survive inside the hostile environment presented by the host and to acquire essential nutrients from this adverse environment (1–3). The emergence of drug-resistant strains and synergy with the AIDS virus has further aggravated the disease scenario (4–6). For the development of new therapeutic intervention strategies, there is a need for identification of novel targets that are not only unique to Mtb but blocking of which would either prove lethal to the bacterium or render it extremely susceptible to the host immune response. In this context, understanding the mechanism of action of the aromatic amino acid pathway enzymes of Mtb assumes the utmost importance because most of the corresponding genes have been proven essential for the bacterium and have no human or mammalian counterpart (7, 8). Moreover, amino acid auxotrophs of Mtb do not survive or multiply in macrophages (9, 10), suggesting that these amino acids are not available within the compartment of the macrophage in which the bacteria reside. displayed by another hypothetical protein coded by open reading frame Rv0948c, a novel instance of the existence of two monofunctional chorismate mutase 2222222222222222222222222
