Fig. 16. Reaction catalyzed by chorismate synthase. The 1,4-anti-elimination of the 6(proR)-hydrogen and phosphate converts 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate to chorismate, the final metabolite of the common shikimate pathway. In the case of bacteria and plants, the required reduced FMN is probably produced by unidentified NAD(P)-dependent FMN reductases and then taken up by chorismate synthase.
