Disease relevance of pabC

 

High impact information on pabC

  • Other members are D-alanine aminotransferase and 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate lyase [2].
  • The aminodeoxychorismate lyase gene, designated pabC, was mapped to 25 min on the E. coli chromosome and lies on a 7.5-kilobase pair EcoRI fragment [1].
  • These cDNAs were shown to encode functional enzymes by complementation of an E. coli pabC mutant, and by demonstrating that the partially purified recombinant proteins convert ADC to PABA [3].
  • The FRT cassette was excised with high frequencies (close to 100%) from the chromosome after conjugal transfer of a Flp recombinase-expressing plasmid; this sacB-containing plasmid was subsequently cured by sucrose counterselection, resulting in an unmarked P. aeruginosa delta pabC strain [4].
  • Here we report the nucleotide sequence of tmk, including the end portion of an upstream open reading frame (ORF 340) of unknown function that may be cotranscribed with the pabC gene [5].

Associations of pabC with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of pabC

  • Sequence analysis, confirmed by insertional knockout and specific substrate feeding experiments, shows that the position occupied by pabC (encoding aminodeoxychorismate lyase) in other bacteria is occupied instead by pabB (encoding aminodeoxychorismate synthase component I) in X. albilineans [8].
