aroE: 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase

This part encodes for the 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase.
The encoded enzyme is needed for the biosynthesis of essential aromatic amino acids in the shikimate pathway. It is essential in Bacillus subtilis , as three essential aromatic amino acids are products of the pathway: Trp, Phe and Tyr.
aroE encodes the 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase, which is the main target of the herbicide glyphosate and is strongly inhibited through glyphosate application. An amplification of aroE allows for glyphosate resistance (1), this is used in multiple GM plants to increase the yield and improve farming applications.
