SHIKIMATE PATHWAY IN YEAST CELLS: ENZYMES, FUNCTIONING, REGULATION

The shikimic acid pathway occurs in various groups of microorganisms, plants and parasites, while it does not occur in animal organisms. An interesting protein synthesized by the yeast is the product of ARO1 gene known as AROM protein. The occurrence of AROM protein in cells of the yeast is the most important difference as compared to the functioning of the shikimate pathway in other organisms. The shikimate pathway constitutes a good source for designing antimicrobial agents. The key industrial significance of shikimic acid pathway metabolites consists in shikimic acid application as a starter material for the synthesis of a neuraminidase inhibitor (GS4104) and agents used in the anti-tumor therapy. The knowledge on that pathway should be continuously extended in the aspect of potential acquisition of its metabolites.

W latach 2022-2024 kwartalnik naukowy Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences realizuje projekt nr RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 finansowany ze środków budżetu państwa – Ministerstwo Edukacji i Nauki w ramach programu „Rozwój czasopism naukowych”. Dofinansowanie wynosi 120 000 zł. W ramach projektu podejmowane są działania zmierzające do podniesienia poziomu praktyk wydawniczych i edytorskich, zwiększenia wpływu czasopism na rozwój nauki oraz utrzymania się czasopism w międzynarodowym obiegu naukowym.

In the years 2022-2024, the scientific quarterly Polish Journal of Food and Nutrition Sciences accomplishes a project no. RCN/SP/0520/2021/1 financed from the state budged – Ministry of Education and Science Republic of Poland in the framework of a program “Development of scientific journals”. The financing amounts to 120,000 PLN.
