In enzymology, a chorismate lyase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :chorismate 4-hydroxybenzoate + pyruvate : : : : : : Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, chorismate, and two products, 4-hydroxybenzoate and pyruvate. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chorismate pyruvate-lyase (4-hydroxybenzoate-forming). Other names in common use include CL, CPL, and UbiC. This enzyme catalyses the first step in ubiquinone biosynthesis, the removal of pyruvate from chorismate, to yield 4-hydroxybenzoate in ''Escherichia coli'' and other Gram-negative bacteria. Its activity does not require metal cofactors. == Activity == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chorismate lyase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
