Chorismic acid, more commonly known as its anionic form chorismate, is an important biochemical intermediate in plants and microorganisms. It is a precursor for:

The name chorismic acid derives from a classical Greek word Шаблон:Lang meaning "to separate",[2] because the compound plays a role as a branch-point in aromatic amino acid biosynthesis.[3]

Biosynthesis

Shikimate → shikimate-3-phosphate → 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate)

Chorismate synthase is an enzyme that catalyzes the final chemical reaction:

5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-3-phosphoshikimate → chorismate + phosphate.

Metabolism

Chorismate is transformed into para-aminobenzoic acid by the enzymes 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate synthase and 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase.

Chorismate lyase is an enzyme that transforms chorismate into 4-hydroxybenzoate and pyruvate. This enzyme catalyses the first step in ubiquinone biosynthesis in Escherichia coli and other Gram-negative bacteria.
