Identification
Name: Gallic acid
Description:Gallic acid (GA) is an organic acid, also known as 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid, found in gallnuts, sumac, witch hazel, tea leaves, oak bark, and other plants. Plants, bacteria and fungi are capable of synthesizing gallic acid. Shikimate dehydrogenase (SDH), a shikimate pathway enzyme essential for aromatic amino acid synthesis, is required for gallic acid production in Pseudomonas aeruginosa. SDH catalyzes NADPH-dependent reduction of 3-DHS (3-dehydroshikimate) to shikimic acid (SA), which is ultimately used to produce the aromatic amino acids l-tyrosine, l-tryptophan, and l-phenylalanine. SDH also catalyzes NADP+-dependent dehydrogenation of SA to 3-DHS, but also the dehydrogenation of 3-DHS to GA.
