== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/PAT_ARATH PAT_ARATH] Prokaryotic-type aspartate aminotransferase. Has also a prenate transaminase activity. Involved in the aromatic amino acids biosynthesis pathway via the arogenate route. Required for the transamination of prephenate into arogenate. Required for early development of the embryo.<ref>PMID:15634699</ref> <ref>PMID:16623902</ref> <ref>PMID:20883697</ref>

== Publication Abstract from PubMed ==
Alternative routes for the post-chorismate branch of the biosynthetic pathway leading to tyrosine exist, the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate or the arogenate route. The arogenate route involves the transamination of prephenate into arogenate. In a previous study, we found that, depending on the microorganisms possessing the arogenate route, three different aminotransferases evolved to perform prephenate transamination i.e. 1beta aspartate aminotransferase (1beta AAT), N-succinyl-l,l-diaminopimelate aminotransferase, and branched-chain aminotransferase. The present work aimed at identifying molecular determinant(s) of 1beta AAT prephenate aminotransferase (PAT) activity. To that purpose, we conducted X-ray crystal structure analysis of two PAT competent 1beta AAT from Arabidopsis thaliana and Rhizobium meliloti, and one PAT incompetent 1beta AAT from Rhizobium meliloti. This structural analysis supported by site directed mutagenesis, modelling and molecular dynamics simulations allowed us to identify a molecular determinant of PAT activity in the flexible N-terminal loop of 1beta AAT. Our data reveal that a Lys/Arg/Gln residue in position 12 in the sequence (numbering according to Thermus thermophilus 1beta AAT), present only in PAT competent enzymes, could interact with the 4-hydroxyl group of the prephenate substrate, and thus may have a central role in the acquisition of PAT activity by 1beta AAT.
