Figure 1. The non-mevalonate methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis.

Figure 1

Chemical structures of the native substrates and products of each enzyme in the MEP pathway are depicted: 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DOXP Synthase); 1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase (IspC); 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate cytidyltransferase (IspD); 4-diphosphocytidyl-2C-methyl-D-erythritol kinase (IspE); 2-C-methyl-D-eryth-ritol-2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase (IspF); 1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl-4-diphosphate synthase (IspG); 4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-(E)-butenyl-4-diphosphate reductase (IspH).
