Expression, characterization and inhibition of Toxoplasma gondii 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase.
The apicomplexan parasite Toxoplasma gondii, the causative agent of toxoplasmosis, is an important human pathogen. 1-Deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (DXR) in the non-mevalonate isoprene biosynthesis pathway is essential to the organism and therefore a target for developing anti-toxoplasmosis drugs. In order to find potent inhibitors, we expressed and purified recombinant T. gondii...
متن کاملIdentification, cloning, purification, and enzymatic characterization of Mycobacterium tuberculosis 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase.
The enzyme encoded by Rv2682c in Mycobacterium tuberculosis is a functional 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS), suggesting that the pathogen utilizes the mevalonate-independent pathway for isopentenyl diphosphate and subsequent polyprenyl phosphate synthesis. These key precursors are vital in the biosynthesis of many essential aspects of the mycobacterial cell wall. Rv2682c encodes t...
متن کاملCharacterization of a Functionally Active Recombinant 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-Phosphate Synthase from Babesia bovis
The 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DXS) enzyme has been characterized in other species, but not in the genus Babesia, which causes major losses in the livestock industries worldwide. Therefore, we isolated, cloned and expressed the wild-type B. bovis dxs cDNA in Escherichia coli and evaluated its enzymatic activity in vitro. DNA sequence analysis revealed an open reading frame of 2061...
متن کاملFunctional characterization of the three genes encoding 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase in maize.
The 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (DXS) enzyme catalyses the first biosynthetic step of the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP) pathway. In plants the MEP pathway is involved in the synthesis of the common precursors to the plastidic isoprenoids, isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate, in plastids. DXS is recognized as limiting this pathway and is a potential targ...
متن کاملMechanistic Studies of 1-Deoxy-D-Xylulose-5-Phosphate Synthase from Deinococcus radiodurans
The non-mevalonate dependent (NMVA) pathway for the biosynthesis of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate is the sole source of these terpenoids for the production of isoprenoids in the apicomplexan parasites, in many eubacteria, and in plants. The absence of this pathway in higher organisms has opened a new platform for the development of novel antibiotics and anti-malarial...
