UniProt functional annotation for P62617

UniProt code: P62617.

Organism: Escherichia coli (strain K12).
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Gammaproteobacteria; Enterobacterales; Enterobacteriaceae; Escherichia.
 
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). Also converts 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D- erythritol into 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 3,4-cyclophosphate and CMP. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10694574, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22839733}.

Activity regulation: Activated by 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate (MEP). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22839733}.
Biophysicochemical properties: Kinetic parameters: KM=339 uM for CDP-ME2P (at pH 7.4) {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22839733}; Note=kcat is 61 min(-1) for CDP-ME2P (at pH 7.4).;
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:11786530, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11829504, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11997478, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15608374, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16392111, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16511114, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19320487}.
Disruption phenotype: Cells lacking this gene reveal a filamentous phenotype. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12270818}.
Similarity: Belongs to the IspF family. {ECO:0000305}.
