X-RAY STRUCTURE OF 1-DEOXY-D-XYLULOSE 5-PHOSPHATE REDUCTOISOMERASE, DXR, RV2870C, FROM MYCOBACTERIUM TUBERCULOSIS, IN COMPLEX WITH MANGANESE AND NADPH
OverviewOverview
Isopentenyl diphosphate is the precursor of various isoprenoids that are, essential to all living organisms. It is produced by the mevalonate, pathway in humans but by an alternate route in plants, protozoa, and many, bacteria. 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase catalyzes the, second step of this non-mevalonate pathway, which involves an, NADPH-dependent rearrangement and reduction of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose, 5-phosphate to form 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate. The use of, different pathways, combined with the reported essentiality of the enzyme, makes the reductoisomerase a highly promising target for drug design. Here, we present several high resolution structures of the Mycobacterium, tuberculosis 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase, representing, both wild type ... [(full description)]
