Isochorismate Pyruvate Lyase

Gateway for Substrate Entry and Product Exit

Significance of the Isochorismate Isochorismate is the end product of the shikimate pathway that is essential for the synthesis of many primary and secondary metabolites. It is synthesized from chorismate by isochorismate synthase enzyme. Chorismate is the common precursor for synthesis of aromatic amino acids, cofactors, phenazines and siderophores. The synthesis of the various compounds using chorismate can be best depicted in the representation Many enzymes are involved in the pathway
