| Type: | Domain | Name: | 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase, C-terminal |
| Description: | 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase synthesises 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate from 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate in a single step by intramolecular rearrangement and reduction and is responsible for terpenoid biosynthesis in some organisms []. In Arabidopsis thaliana1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerase is the first committed enzyme of the non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. The enzyme requires Mn2+, Co2+ or Mg2+ for activity, with the first being most effective. This domain is found to the C terminus of domains in bacterial and plant 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate reductoisomerases. | Short Name: | DXP_reductoisomerase_C |
