The 3-dehydroquinate synthase EC:4.6.1.3 domain is present in isolation in various bacterial 3-dehydroquinate synthases and also present as a domain in the pentafunctional AROM polypeptide Swiss:P07547 [2]. 3-dehydroquinate (DHQ) synthase catalyses the formation of dehydroquinate (DHQ) and orthophosphate from 3-deoxy-D-arabino heptulosonic 7 phosphate [1]. This reaction is part of the shikimate pathway which is involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
