The Journal of biological chemistry.J Biol Chem.2015 May 1;290(18):11293-308. doi: 10.1074/jbc.M114.611830. Epub 2015 Mar 18.
The riboflavin biosynthesis pathway has been shown to be essential in many pathogens and is absent in humans. Therefore, enzymes involved in riboflavin synthesis are considered as potential antibacterial drug targets. The enzyme 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase (DHBPS) catalyzes one of

Terpene synthesis in the majority of bacterial species, together with plant plastids, takes place via the 1-deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) pathway. The first step of this pathway involves the condensation of pyruvate and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate by DXP synthase (Dxs), with one-sixth of the car

Plasmodium vivax is the most geographically widespread human malaria parasite causing approximately 130-435 million infections annually. It is an economic burden in many parts of the world and poses a public health challenge along with the other Plasmodium sp. The biology of this parasite is less st

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry 52(8), 1929-1935, 1988-08-23
… L-Arabinose-induced bulge formation in Escherichia coli IFO 3545 was observed in L-ribulose-5-phosphate (L-Ru5P) 4-epimerase deficient mutants such as ara-207 and ara-208 as well as the wild type in hypertonic medium with 5% sodium chloride but not in the other L-arabinose-negative mutants. …
