EC 4.2.1.144     
Accepted name: 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoate synthase
Reaction: 5-amino-5-deoxy-3-dehydroshikimate = 3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoate + H2O
Other name(s): AHBA synthase; rifK (gene name)
Systematic name: 5-amino-5-deoxy-3-dehydroshikimate hydro-lyase (3-amino-5-hydroxybenzoate-forming)
Comments: A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate enzyme. The enzyme from the bacterium Amycolatopsis mediterranei participates in the pathway for rifamycin B biosynthesis. The enzyme also functions as a transaminase earlier in the pathway, producing UDP-α-D-kanosamine [3].
