• belongs to the class of organic compounds known as dicarboxylic acids and derivatives. (ecmdb.ca)
  • It produced a new polyene dicarboxylic acid named diacidene (1) and in addition a derivative of chorismic acid, the known 3-[(1-carboxyvinyl)oxy]benzoic acid. (degruyter.com)
  • It is a precursor for: The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine Indole, indole derivatives and tryptophan 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) used for enterobactin biosynthesis The plant hormone salicylic acid Many alkaloids and other aromatic metabolites. (wikipedia.org)
  • The name chorismic acid derives from a classical Greek word χωρίζω meaning "to separate", because the compound plays a role as a branch-point in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. (wikipedia.org)
  • Gibson's research project involved the use of bacterial mutants to study the biosynthesis of the amino acid methionine. (edu.au)
  • These grants were used to pursue his early interest in effects of antibacterials on aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. (edu.au)
  • In 1959 Gibson spent one year as research associate at Stanford University (US) that marked the beginning of a life-long friendship with Professor Charlie Yanofsky who was a world leader in the study of aromatic amino acid biosynthesis. (edu.au)
  • The focus of the Gibson group at this time was identifying and determining the structure of ''the branch point'' compound in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis using an appropriate mutant strain which accumulated this unstable compound. (edu.au)
  • The biosynthesis of noscapine in P. somniferum begins with chorismic acid , which is synthesized via the shikimate pathway from erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate . (cloudfront.net)
  • The branch point compound was named chorismic acid and was found to be a precursor of seven essential cell components. (edu.au)
  • Chorismic acid is a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine , the source of nitrogen in benzylisoquinoline alkaloids. (cloudfront.net)
  • Thirty-four alkaloids were identified in the organs of Hyoscyamus albus L. by gas-liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (GLC-MS). Eight new compounds for the roots, eleven for the stems, twelve for the leaves, nineteen for the flowers, and seven for the seeds were detected. (degruyter.com)
  • Tyrosine can undergo a PLP -mediated transamination to form 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (4-HPP), followed by a TPP -mediated decarboxylation to form 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (4-HPAA). (cloudfront.net)
  • It is a precursor for: The aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tryptophan, and tyrosine Indole, indole derivatives and tryptophan 2,3-Dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) used for enterobactin biosynthesis The plant hormone salicylic acid Many alkaloids and other aromatic metabolites. (wikipedia.org)
  • A cyclohexadiene carboxylic acid derived from SHIKIMIC ACID and a precursor for the biosynthesis of UBIQUINONE and the AROMATIC AMINO ACIDS. (bvsalud.org)
  • The combinational actions of ethylene and MeJA effectively promoted the total phenolic compounds, especially the C6C1 compounds (such as salicylic acid, benzoic acid) and C6C3 ones (such as cinnamic acid, sinapic acid). (frontiersin.org)
  • Chorismic acid, more commonly known as its anionic form chorismate, is an important biochemical intermediate in plants and microorganisms. (wikipedia.org)
  • Chorismate is transformed into para-aminobenzoic acid by the enzymes 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase and 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase. (wikipedia.org)
  • Phenolic compounds belong to a class of secondary metabolites and are implicated in a wide range of responsive mechanisms in plants triggered by both biotic and abiotic elicitors. (frontiersin.org)
  • A cluster of approximately 16 genes, including ehpF, located on a 200 kbp plasmid native to certain strains of Pantoea agglomerans encodes the proteins that are required for the conversion of chorismic acid to AGA. (nih.gov)
  • An isomerase that catalyzes the conversion of chorismic acid to prephenic acid. (nih.gov)
