H(2)(18)O under the bridge: Recently, the deoxyxylulose phosphate (DXP) pathway was discovered to be a second pathway supplying isoprenoid biosynthetic precursors. One of steps is an IspG-catalyzed reductive deoxygenation of methylerythritol cyclodiphosphate (MEcPP) to 4-hydroxyl-3-methyl-2-(E)-1-diphosphate (HMBPP). Using [2-(13) C,(18) O]-MEcPP, we detected the positional isotopic exchange for the bridging oxygen in MEcPP.
H(2)(18)O 桥下水:最近,人们发现脱氧木酮糖磷酸(DXP)途径是提供异戊烯基生物合成前体的第二条途径。该途径的一个步骤是 IspG 催化的甲基赤藓醇磷酸环二磷酸(MEcPP)的还原脱羟化为 4-羟基-3-甲基-2-(E)-1-二磷酸(HMBPP)。使用 [2-(13)C,(18)O]-MEcPP,我们检测到 MEcPP 中桥氧的位置同位素交换。
