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. It is a vital enzyme in the shikimate pathway, which allows for the synthesis of tryptophan, tyrosinem and phenylalanine ^[1]. Chorismate mutase only occurs in bacteria, higher plants, and fungi, due to the fact that the shikimate pathway is only found in these organisms ^[2]. 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 periplasmic compartment of M. tuberculosis^[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 occursm 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 ^[3]. It is the only example of an enzyme catalyzing a percyclic reaction ^[2]
