FIGURE 6. — Schematic of the reactions catalyzed by BacA and BacB. Prephenate is converted into an unstable intermediate 3-((1r-4r)-4-hydroxycyclohexa-2,5-dienyl)-2-oxopropanoic acid after a decarboxylation reaction catalyzed by BacA. BacB catalyzes the oxidation of this product to yield 2-oxo-3-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl)propanoic acid. The synthesis of l-anticapsin from 2-oxo-3-(4-oxocyclohexa-2,5-dienyl)propanoic acid would further require a ring epoxidation and a transamination reaction in the ketone group.
