Protein Domain : 4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate synthase, bacterial-type IPR004588

Type  Family
Description  This protein previously of unknown biochemical function is essential in Escherichia coli. It has now been characterised as 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate synthase, which converts 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (ME-2,4CPP) into 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl 4-diphosphate in the sixth step of nonmevalonate terpenoid biosynthesis. The family is largely restricted to bacteria, where it is widely but not universally distributed. No homology can be detected between this family and other proteins.
