IUBMB Comments

An iron-sulfur protein that contains an unusual [4Fe-4S] cluster [5,6]. This enzyme forms a system with a ferredoxin or a flavodoxin and an NAD(P)H-dependent reductase. This is the last enzyme in the non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. This pathway, also known as the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate (DOXP) or as the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate (MEP) pathway, is found in most bacteria and in plant chloroplasts. The enzyme acts in the reverse direction, producing a 5:1 mixture of 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate and prenyl diphosphate.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Eukaryota
