1.17.7.1
Accepted name
(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl-diphosphate synthase (ferredoxin)
Reaction
(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate + H2O + 2 oxidized ferredoxin = 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate + 2 reduced ferredoxin
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
Systematic name
(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl-diphosphate:oxidized ferredoxin oxidoreductase
Comment
An iron-sulfur protein found in plant chloroplasts and cyanobacteria that contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster [1]. Forms part of an alternative non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. Bacteria have a similar enzyme that uses flavodoxin rather than ferredoxin (cf. EC 1.17.7.3). The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is active with photoreduced 5-deazaflavin but not with flavodoxin [1].
