Title
The diffusible factor synthase XanB2 is a bifunctional chorismatase that links the shikimate pathway to ubiquinone and xanthomonadins biosynthetic pathways.
This enzyme catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of ubiquinone in Escherichia coli and other Gram-negative bacteria [1]. The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae can synthesize ubiquinone from either chorismate or tyrosine [3].
