DXR is part of the nonmevalonate pathway which synthesizes isoprenoids which are essential components of bacterial cell wall. NADPH is a cofactor of the reaction. Divalent metal cations (Mg+2, Mn+2) are involved in binding of the DXP substrate to DXR.[1] Disease The antibiotic fosmidomycin is a structural analog of 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate is a powerful inhibitor of DXR and is used as an anti-malaria drug. Structural highlights DXR contains Mn+2 cation and the product analog fosmidomycin. (water molecules shown as red spheres).[2]
