Natural amino donation: A PLP‐dependent aminotransferase PctV, encoded in the pactamycin biosynthetic gene cluster, was found to catalyze the formation of 3‐aminobenzoate from 3‐dehydroshikimate with L‐glutamate as the amino donor. The PctV reaction comprises a transamination and two dehydration reactions. This is the first report of a simple 3‐ABA synthase in nature.
