Isochorismate-derived metabolism enables biosynthesis of the plant defense hormone salicylic acid (SA) and its derivatives. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the stress-induced accumulation of SA depends on ISOCHORISMATE SYNTHASE1 (ICS1) and also requires the presumed isochorismate transporter ENHANCED DISEASE SUSCEPTIBILITY5 (EDS5) and the GH3 enzyme avrPphB SUSCEPTIBLE3 (PBS3). By comparative metabolite and structural analyses, we identified several hitherto unreported ICS1- and EDS5-dependent, biotic stress-inducible Arabidopsis metabolites.

Enterobactin is a high-affinity iron chelator produced and secreted by Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium to scavenge scarce extracellular Fe as a micronutrient. EntC and EntB are the first two enzymes in the enterobactin biosynthetic pathway. Isochorismate, produced by EntC, is a substrate for EntB isochorismatase.

Salicylic acid (SA) plays a crucial role in plant defense against biotrophic and semibiotrophic pathogens. In Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana), isochorismate synthase 1 (AtICS1) is a key enzyme for the pathogen-induced biosynthesis of SA via catalytic conversion of chorismate into isochorismate, an essential precursor for SA synthesis. Despite the extensive knowledge of ICS1-related menaquinone, siderophore, and tryptophan (MST) enzymes in bacteria, the structural mechanisms for substrate binding and catalysis in plant isochorismate synthase (ICS) enzymes are unknown.

AVRPPHB SUSCEPTIBLE 3 (PBS3) belongs to the GH3 family of acyl acid amido synthetases, which conjugates amino acids to diverse acyl acid substrates. Recent studies demonstrate that PBS3 in Arabidopsis plays a key role in the biosynthesis of plant defense hormone salicylic acid (SA) by catalyzing the conjugation of glutamate to isochorismate to form isochorismate-9-glutamate, which is then used to produce SA through spontaneous decay or ENHANCED PSEUDOMONAS SUSCEPTIBILITY (EPS1) catalysis. Consistent with its function as an essential enzyme for SA biosynthesis, PBS3 is well known to be a positive regulator of plant immunity in Arabidopsis.
