BioCyc:PABASYN-RXN

This reaction is the first step in the biosynthesis ofp-aminobenzoate (PABA) and is also involved in folate biosynthesis.

GLN + CHORISMATE --> 4-AMINO-4-DEOXYCHORISMATE + GLT

L-Glutamine[C5H10N2O3] + chorismate(2-)[C10H8O6] = 4-amino-4-deoxychorismate(1-)[C10H10NO5] + L-Glutamate[C5H9NO4]
