Novel exported bifunctional fusion enzymes with chorismate mutase and cyclohexadienyl dehydratase activity: shikimate pathway enzymes teamed up in no man's land

The paper identifies rare exported bifunctional fusion enzymes combining chorismate mutase and cyclohexadienyl dehydratase in non-pathogenic bacteria, showing no catalytic benefit from fusion and suggesting a signaling role.

Evolution-based design of chorismate mutase enzymes

This paper demonstrates an evolution-based design process for synthetic enzymes using sequence data, showing that statistical models can generate functional sequences with substantial diversity.
