EC 1.17.1.2 Details
EC number
1.17.1.2
Accepted name
4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase
Reaction
(1) isopentenyl diphosphate + NAD(P)+ + H2O = (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate + NAD(P)H + H+;;(2) dimethylallyl diphosphate + NAD(P)+ + H2O = (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate + NAD(P)H + H+
Other name(s)
isopentenyl-diphosphate:NADP+ oxidoreductase, LytB, (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl diphosphate reductase, HMBPP reductase, IspH, LytB/IspH
Systematic name
isopentenyl-diphosphate:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
512789-14-9
Comment
An iron-sulfur protein that contains either a [3Fe-4S] [6] or a [4Fe-4S] [5] cluster. This enzyme comprises a system in which ferredoxin is first reduced and subsequently reoxidized by an NAD(P)+-dependent reductase. This is the last enzyme in the non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. This pathway, also known as the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DOXP) or as the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, is found in most bacteria and in plant chloroplasts. The enzyme acts in the reverse direction, producing a 5:1 mixture of isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate.
