My protein is found in the Streptomyces coelicolor, but being expressed system in Escherichia coli. The specific function of Chorismate dehydratase is to catalyze the dehydration of chorismate to produce 3-enolpyruvyl-benzoate (3-EPB). Chorismate dehydratase has two ligands, both are (3R,4R)-3-[(1-carboxyethenyl)oxy]-4-hydroxycyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carboxylic acid (ISJ). The two ISJ molecules are on different of lobes of Chorismate dehydratase (Lobe A and Lobe B).

Enzymes involved in this pathway are potential targets for the development of new antibiotics via this pathway, and enzymes that convert chorismate are promising targets for.
Not much is known about the futalosine pathway and the way it works. MqnA is the first enzyme of the futalosine pathway catalyzing the dehydration of chorismate to yield 3-enolpyruvyl-benzoate (3-EPB), a reaction not observed for any other enzyme. Chorismate is the product of the shikimate pathway and the precursor of many aromatic compounds including the amino acids in addition to the electron carriers ubiquinone and menaquinone. As enzymes of the shikimate pathway, as well as enzymes that convert chorismate, are only present in bacteria, fungi, and plants, they are promising targets for antimicrobials and herbicides.

The Secondary structures has roughly 19 beta sheets, 27 alpha helices, and several random coils. The tertiary structure would be described as globular as is it in a shape of a ball, with an alpha clamp and two lobes connected by two linkers. The beta sheets contain all three of the catalytic amino acids and most of the important binding amino acids.
