The first step of the 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway for isoprenoid
biosynthesis in plant plastids and most eubacteria is catalyzed by 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5 …

Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP) are
the common precursors for the synthesis of all isoprenoids. While IPP and DMAPP are …

Isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) is a common precursor for the synthesis of all isoprenoids,
which have important functions in living organisms. IPP is produced by the mevalonate …

2-C-methylerythritol 4-phosphate has been established recently as an intermediate of the
deoxyxylulose phosphate pathway used for biosynthesis of terpenoids in plants and in many …

1-Deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) is a rate-limiting enzyme in the 2-C-methyl-
d-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, which is responsible for production of two …

The synthesis of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP), catalyzed by the enzyme DXP
synthase (DXS), represents a key regulatory step of the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate …

For many years it was accepted that isopentenyl diphosphate, the common precursor of all
isoprenoids, was synthesized through the well known acetate/mevalonate pathway …

The bifunctional methylerythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase methylerythritol 2, 4-
cyclodiphosphate synthase (IspDF) is unusual in that it catalyzes nonconsecutive reactions …

In Escherichia coli, 1-deoxy-d-xylulose (or its 5-phosphate, DXP) is the biosynthetic
precursor to isopentenyl diphosphate [Broers, STJ (1994) Dissertation (Eidgenössische …

1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) catalyzes the initial step of the 2-C-methyl-
