Description
The enzyme, which was isolated from the archaeon Methanocaldococcus jannaschii, plays a key role in an alternative pathway for the biosynthesis of 3-dehydroquinate (DHQ), an intermediate of the canonical pathway for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. The enzyme catalyses a two-step reaction - an oxidative deamination, followed by cyclization.
