STRUCTURE OF 4-DIPHOSPHOCYTIDYL-2C-METHYL-D-ERYTHRITOL SYNTHETASE
Overview
2-C-Methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase is an essential, enzyme in the mevalonate-independent pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis., The structure of a tetragonal crystal form has been solved by molecular, replacement and refined to 2.4 A resolution. Structure and sequence, comparisons suggest that the enzyme is a suitable target for a, structure-based approach to the development of novel broad-spectrum, antibiotics. However, the absence of ligands in the enzyme active site, together with the moderate resolution of the structure indicates that this, tetragonal crystal form is inferior to that of a previously reported, highly ordered monoclinic form [Richard et al. (2001), Nature Struct., Biol. 8, 641-647].
