Escherichia coli open reading frame 696 is idi, a nonessential gene encoding isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase.
Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase catalyzes the interconversion of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). In eukaryotes, archaebacteria, and some bacteria, IPP is synthesized from acetyl coenzyme A by the mevalonate pathway. The subsequent isomerization of IPP to DMAPP activates the five-carbon isoprene unit for subsequent prenyl transfer reactions. In Escherichia ...
متن کاملBacillus subtilis ypgA gene is fni, a nonessential gene encoding type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase.
We previously identified the fni gene of Streptomyces sp. strain CL190 as type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) isomerase, which needs both FMN and NADPH for enzyme activity. An fni gene homolog, ypgA, was detected in the database of the Bacillus subtilis genome. However, the ypgA product was about 140 amino acids shorter in the N-terminal than the Streptomyces fni gene product. A database searc...
متن کاملExpression of an exogenous isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase gene enhances isoprenoid biosynthesis in Escherichia coli.
Escherichia coli expressing the Erwinia carotenoid biosynthesis genes, crtE, crtB, crtI and crtY, form yellow-coloured colonies due to the presence of beta-carotene. This host was used as a visible marker for evaluating regulatory systems operating in isoprenoid biosynthesis of E. coli. cDNAs enhancing carotenoid levels were isolated from the yeast Phaffia rhodozyma and the green alga Haematoco...
متن کاملIDI2, a second isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase in mammals.
We recently described the identification of a novel isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase, IDI2 in humans and mice. Our current data indicate that, in humans, IDI2 is expressed only in skeletal muscle. Expression constructs of human IDI2 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae can complement isomerase function in an idi1-deficient yeast strain. Furthermore, IDI2 has the ability to catalyze the isomerization of...
متن کاملEscherichia coli gpt gene provides dominant selection for vaccinia virus open reading frame expression vectors.
Mycophenolic acid, an inhibitor of purine metabolism, was shown to block the replication of vaccinia virus in normal cell lines. This observation led to the development of a dominant one-step plaque selection system, based on expression of the Escherichia coli gpt gene, for the isolation of recombinant vaccinia viruses. Synthesis of xanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase enabled only the re...
