UniProt functional annotation for P44815

UniProt code: P44815.

Organism: Haemophilus influenzae (strain ATCC 51907 / DSM 11121 / KW20 / Rd).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Pasteurellales; Pasteurellaceae; Haemophilus.
 
Function: Involved in the biosynthesis of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), two major building blocks of isoprenoid compounds. Catalyzes the conversion of 4-diphosphocytidyl-2- C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate (CDP-ME2P) to 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (ME-CPP) with a corresponding release of cytidine 5-monophosphate (CMP) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=4-CDP-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate = 2-C-methyl-D- erythritol 2,4-cyclic diphosphate + CMP; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:23864, ChEBI:CHEBI:57919, ChEBI:CHEBI:58483, ChEBI:CHEBI:60377; EC=4.6.1.12;
Cofactor: Name=a divalent metal cation; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:60240; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:16021622}; Note=Binds 1 divalent metal cation per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16021622};
Pathway: Isoprenoid biosynthesis; isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis via DXP pathway; isopentenyl diphosphate from 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5- phosphate: step 4/6.
Subunit: Homotrimer. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12211023, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16021622}.
Similarity: Belongs to the IspF family. {ECO:0000305}.
