Biochem/physiol Actions

Metabolite of the non-mevalonate pathway, generally found in prokaryotes, as precursor to isoprenoids as well as non-isoprenoids like vitamins. As this pathway is not present in humans, it is of interest for the development of bacterium-specific drugs in the search for treatments of infectious diseases.

Other Notes

In E. coli, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose is converted into 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate by phosphorylation of the C-5 hydroxy group by D-xylulokinase.

Upon feeding of [2-(13)C,4-(2)H]-1-deoxy-D-xylulose to Streptomyces ghanaensis, the deuterium label was retained exclusively at positions C-7 and C-17 in the moenocinol part of the moenomycin antibiotics. This result vindicates the hypothesis that the C(25) structure of moenocinol is assembled from

In plants, two pathways are utilized for the synthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate, the universal precursor for isoprenoid biosynthesis. The key enzyme of the cytoplasmic mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway is 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-coenzyme A reductase (HMGR). Treatment of Tobacco Bright Yellow-2 (TBY-2) cells
