Protein
Chorismate pyruvate-lyase
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
Function
Removes the pyruvyl group from chorismate to provide 4-hydroxybenzoate (4HB). Involved in the synthesis of glycosylated p-hydroxybenzoic acid methyl esters (p-HBADs) and phenolic glycolipids (PGL) that play important roles in the pathogenesis of mycobacterial infections (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the chorismate pyruvate-lyase type 2 family.
