Function
MEP cytidylyltransferase (MEPCT) catalyzes the conversion of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate and CTP to 4-(cytidine 5’-diphospho)- 2C-methyl-D-erythritol (CDP-ME) and diphosphate. MEPCT participates in isoprenoid biosynthesis in many bacteria while eukaryotes use the mevalonic acid pathway for the isoprenoed biosynthesis
Disease
Relevance
Inhibitors of MEPCT can be used as potential antibiotics.
