In enzymology, an anthranilate synthase (EC 4.1.3.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- chorismate + L-glutamine
anthranilate + pyruvate + L-glutamate 2
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are chorismate and L-glutamine, whereas its 3 products are anthranilate, pyruvate, and L-glutamate.
Reaction
In enzymology, an anthranilate synthase (EC 4.1.3.27) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Structure and assembly
The complex is made up of α and β subunits. Gel filtration experiments reveal that the complex occurs as an α2β2 tetramer under native conditions, and as an αβ dimer under high salt concentrations.[1] The αβ dimers interact through the α subunits to form the complex.
Nomenclature
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, to be specific the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is chorismate pyruvate-lyase (amino-accepting; anthranilate-forming). Other names in common use include anthranilate synthetase, chorismate lyase, and chorismate pyruvate-lyase (amino-accepting). This enzyme participates in phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis and two-component system - general.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1I1Q, 1I7Q, 1I7S, 1QDL, and 2I6Y.
