Function of your protein

The specific function of my protein is catalyzing the dehydration of chorismate to yield 3-enolpyruvyl-benzoate (3-EPB), which is the initial step in the biosynthesis of menaquinone via the futalosine pathway.

Biological relevance and broader implications

Enzymes involved in this pathway are potential targets for the development of new antibiotics via this pathway, and enzymes that convert chorismate are promising targets for potential antimicrobials and herbicides.

Important amino acids

The three amnio acids involved in the

Important amino acids for binding are the following: I13, N17, C18, P41, E42, V58, V84, S86, C87, S109, R110, T111, S112, I150, G151, F186, Y242
