Application

D-Erythrose 4-phosphate (E4P) is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize 2-keto-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate (KDPGal) aldolase(s) and 3-deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAH7P) synthase(s) that initiate the shikimate pathway in microorganisms and plants. It may be used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase(s) (GAPDH) involved in surface antigen and virulence factor development in pathogenic microorganisms. E4P may be used in malaria research as an inhibitor of the PfPdx1 component of the PLP (pyridoxal 5′-phosphate) synthase enzymatic complex responsible for the de novo synthesizes vitamin B6 in Plasmodium falciparum.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Erythrose 4-phosphate is an intermediate in the penntose phosphate pathway, as well as the biosynthesis of phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan and metabolism of vitamin B6.

Metabolic engineering to design and construct microorganisms suitable for the production of aromatic amino acids and derivatives thereof requires control of a complicated network of metabolic reactions that partly act in parallel and frequently are in rapid equilibrium. Engineering the

3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonate 7-phosphate (DAH7P) synthase catalyses the first step of the shikimate pathway, which is responsible for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in microorganisms and plants. This enzyme catalyses an aldol reaction between phosphoenolpyruvate and D-erythrose 4-phosphate to generate DAH7P.

Malaria tropica is a devastating infectious disease caused by Plasmodium falciparum. This parasite synthesizes vitamin B6 de novo via the PLP (pyridoxal 5'-phosphate) synthase enzymatic complex consisting of PfPdx1 and PfPdx2 proteins. Biosynthesis of PLP is largely performed by PfPdx1
