Requires Mg2+. The reaction occurs in the reverse direction to that shown above. In contrast to most anthranilate-synthase I (ASI) homologues, this enzyme is not inhibited by tryptophan. In Streptomyces globisporus, the sequential action of this enzyme and EC 1.3.99.24, 2-amino-4-deoxychorismate dehydrogenase, leads to the formation of the benzoxazolinate moiety of the enediyne antitumour antibiotic C-1027 [1,2]. In certain Pseudomonads the enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of phenazine, a precursor for several compounds with antibiotic activity [3,4].

(2S)-2-amino-4-deoxychorismate is formed by a reversible, Mg2+-dependent ADIC synthase activity of anthranilate synthase (EC 4.1.3.27) that can be functionally uncoupled from a Mg2+-dependent ADIC lyase activity of the enzyme by single amino acid substitutions in the TrpE subunit of the anthranilate synthase complex of Salmonella typhimurium
the net conversion of chorismate to 3-enolpyruvoylanthranilate by the tandem action of SgcD and SgcG establishes a new branching point in chorismate metabolism leading to synthesis of C-1027, an enediyne antitumor antibiotic

mutant displaying anthranilate synthase activity, the kcat/Kchoris value for anthranilate formation is 25% of the wild-type aminodeoxychorismate synthase value for 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate production
conversion of aminodeoxychorismate synthase into anthranilate synthase employing a bioinformatics method for predicting mutations required to functionally interconvert homologous enzymes. Complementation of an anthranilate synthase-deficient strain of Escherichia coli grown on minimal medium leads to several aminodeoxychorismate synthase mutants that allow growth in 6 days compared to 2 days for wild-type anthranilate synthase. The purified mutant enzymes catalyze the conversion of chorismate to anthranilate at rates that are about 50% of the rate of wild-type aminodeoxychorismate synthase-catalyzed conversion of chorismate to aminodeoxychorismate. The residues mutated do not contact the substrate
