Reports on the construction of two variants of avian farnesyl diphosphatase (FPPase) that show substantial selectivity for synthesis of geranyl diphosphate (GPP). Design of FPPase mutants selective for synthesis of GPP; Construction, initial characterization and purification of FPPase mutants.Fernandez...
In the first reaction, the condensation of two molecules of FPP occurs to form the cyclopropyl-containing intermediate, presqualene diphosphate (PSPP) (1), through a unique 1′–2–3 prenyl transferase reaction. The intermediate is then rearranged and reduced by NADPH to form squalene (2)4–7...
The catalytic utilization of dimethylallyl, geranyl, farnesyl, and geranylgeranyl diphosphates in the reaction catalyzed by recombinant human farnesyl:protein transferase (hFPTase) has been examined in the presence of three different protein substrates, Ras-CVLS, Ras-CVIM, and Ras-CAIL. hFPTase cataly...
FPT catalyzes the transfer of a 15-carbon isoprenyl lipid from farnesyl diphosphate onto a cysteine residue of various protein substrates. FPT recognizes the carboxyl-terminal CAAX box of the substrate (C, cysteine; A, aliphatic amino acid; X, carboxyl-terminal amino acid). Proteins terminating in...
diphosphate moiety of the FPP to form a carbocation that will undergo the cyclization cascade2. The aspartate-rich motifs were not identified in FPPMT and although E42 and H45 are suggested to bind a magnesium cation that interacts with the diphosphate moiety of FPP, the carbocation is generated...
FIG. 5: shows a schematic diagram of the biosynthetic pathway for the production of farnesyl-diphosphate, providing the farnesyl group of ECO-04601.FIG. 6: shows a schematic diagram of the biosynthetic pathway for the production of 3-hydroxy-anthranilate-adenylate precursor of the dibenzodiazepin...
or additionally be bonded to the skeleton at sites other than this carbon atom, such as any carbon capable of bearing a hydroxy, epoxy, aklanoyloxy, or alkanoic acid substituent. As shown in FIG. 2, the lactone ring may be opened to form the corresponding carboxylic acid and diphosphate....
