3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate synthase as the gatekeeper of plant aromatic natural product biosynthesis

The shikimate pathway connects the central carbon metabolism with the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids—l-tyrosine, l-phenylalanine, and l-tryptophan—which play indispensable roles as precursors of numerous aromatic phytochemicals. Despite the importance of the shikimate pathway-derived products...
