Description: | Isoprenoid compounds are a diverse group of natural products which are essential components in all cells. Isoprenoids are biosynthesized from the simple precursors isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP); and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). Eukaryotes, fungi, and some gram-positive bacteria produce IPP through the mevalonate (MVA) pathway whereas gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria utilize the non-mevalonate or 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP); pathway. 2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 2, 4-cyclophosphate (cMEPP) is an intermediate in the non-mevalonate pathway. It is formed by from MECDP Synthase from CDP-MEP and converted to 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-buten-4-yl diphosphate (HDMAPP) by IspG (GcpE). Featured in Publications 1) Xiao, Y., T. Savchenko, et al.
