UPPS (undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase) catalyses consecutive condensation reactions of FPP (farnesyl pyrophosphate) with eight isopentenyl pyrophosphates to generate C55 UPP, which serves as a lipid carrier for bacterial peptidoglycan biosynthesis. We reported the co-crystal structure of Escherichia coli UPPS in

A mix-and-read FlashPlate (PerkinElmer, Waltham, MA) assay for the enzyme farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) synthase (FPPS) was developed to rapidly measure both steps in the synthesis of FPP from dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). The assay used either DMAPP or geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP)

Statins were recently shown to possess anti-inflammatory activities, which might be responsible for their favourable effects in cardiovascular or CNS disorders independently from the inhibition of hydroxy-methyl-glutaryl CoA reductase. Here we investigated the effects of the statins lovastatin and mevastatin

Isoprenoids, most of them synthesized by prenyltransferases (PTSs), are a class of important biologically active compounds with diverse functions. The mint geranyl pyrophosphate synthase (GPPS) is a heterotetramer composed of two LSU·SSU (large/small subunit) dimers. In addition to C(10)-GPP, the

The biosynthetic pathway of the off-flavour terpenoid alcohol 2-methylisoborneol (2-MIB) requires geranyl pyrophosphate methyltransferase (GPPMT) to methylate GPP before the cyclization reaction. GPPMT is the first example of an S-adenosyl-L-methionine-dependent methyltransferase that acts on general intermediates such as geranyl pyrophosphate
