Identification
Name:2-Succinylbenzoate
Description2-succinylbenzoate is a member of the chemical class known as Benzoic Acid and Derivatives. These are organic compounds containing a carboxylic acid substituent attached to a benzene ring. 2-Succinylbenzoate is invovled in the biosynthesis of menaquinone. o-Succinylbenzoate synthase (OSBS) from Escherichia coli, a member of the enolase superfamily, catalyzes an exergonic dehydration reaction in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway in which 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate (SHCHC) is converted to 4-(2'-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutyrate (o-succinylbenzoate or OSB). The first aromatic intermediate in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway is o-succinylbenzoate (OSB); it is formed from chorismate/isochorismate and 2-ketoglutarate. (PMID 3902015) The first aromatic intermediate in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway is o-succinylbenzoate (OSB); it is formed from chorismate/isochorismate and 2-ketoglutarate. The first aromatic intermediate in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway is o-succinylbenzoate (OSB); it is formed from chorismate/isochorismate and 2-ketoglutarate. The first aromatic intermediate in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway is o-succinylbenzoate (OSB); it is formed from chorismate/isochorismate and 2-ketoglutarate. coli strains synthesize an intermediate, "X", which is converted to OSB by extracts of menC+ cells. It was demonstrated that chorismate is the branch point compound leading to menaquinone, and that 2-succinylbenzoic acid and 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid can serve as menaquinoone precursors in E. coli. (PMID 1091286) The committed step in menaquinone biosynthesis is the formation of o-succinylbenzoate (OSB). (PMID 3516220) The suggestion is made that the spirodilactone is the product of an aberrant reaction involving a compound that is normally an intermediate in the conversion of 2-succinylbenzoate to 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate. (PMID 99177) The presence of shikimic acid in the growth medium restores the ability of an aroD mutant to synthesize cmo5U, while O-succinylbenzoate, which is an early intermediate in the synthesis of menaquinone, does not.
