Preferred Label : o-succinylbenzoic acid synthase;
MeSH note : E coli enzyme; with SHCHC synthase catalyzes formation of o-succinylbenzoic acid from
isochorismic acid & alpha-ketoglutarate in presence of thiamine pyropyrophosphate;
succinic semialdehyde anion is formed by decarboxylation of alpha-ketoglutarate by
thiamine pyrophosphate; anion then attacks isochorismic acid, initiating aromatization
with elimination of pyruvate & H2O;
CISMeF synonym : MenC protein, E coli;
MeSH synonym : o-succinylbenzoate synthase; OSB synthase; 2-succinylbenzoic acid synthase; ortho-succinylbenzoic acid synthase;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 4.1.99.-;
