1.17.7.3

Accepted name:

(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl-diphosphate synthase (flavodoxin)

Reaction:

(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate + H₂O + oxidized flavodoxin = 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate + reduced flavodoxin

Other name(s):

4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate synthase (ambiguous); (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl-diphosphate:protein-disulfide oxidoreductase (hydrating) (incorrect); (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate synthase (ambiguous); ispG (gene name)

Systematic name:

(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl-diphosphate:oxidized flavodoxin oxidoreductase

Comments:

A bacterial iron-sulfur protein that contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster. Forms part of an alternative non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis that is found in most bacteria [2]. Plants and cyanobacteria have a similar enzyme that utilizes ferredoxin rather than flavodoxin (cf. EC 1.17.7.1).
