MetaCyc Pathway: L-phenylalanine biosynthesis I in Bacteroides ovatus ATCC 8483

Chorismate mutase:
chorismate→prephenate (EC 5.4.99.5)

Prephenate dehydratase:
prephenate + H⁺→3-phenyl-2-oxopropanoate + CO₂ + H₂O (EC 4.2.1.51)

Aspartate transaminase (in reverse):
3-phenyl-2-oxopropanoate + L-glutamate→L-phenylalanine + 2-oxoglutarate (EC 2.6.1.1; 2.6.1.27; 2.6.1.57)

Candidate genes for each reaction are identified from best hits to MetaCyc; by matching EC numbers (which are assigned by TIGRFam, SEED, or best hits to KEGG); or by matching SEED roles to KEGG reactions to MetaCyc reactions. See the "Protein" tab of each gene for more information
