  • Identifier IPR017824
  • Description Aminodeoxychorismate lyase, class IV

Abstract

Aminodeoxychorismate lyase (ADC lyase) converts aminodeoxychorismate to para-aminobenzoate during the process of tetrahydrofolate biosynthesis [ 1 ]. Tetrahydrofolate is an essential precursor for de novo purine biosynthesis. ADC lyase is a pyridoxal-phosphate-binding protein belonging to the class IV aminotransferase family.
