(E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl-diphosphate synthase (ferredoxin)

An iron-sulfur protein found in plant chloroplasts and cyanobacteria that contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster. Forms part of an alternative non-mevalonate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. Bacteria have a similar enzyme that uses flavodoxin rather than ferredoxin (cf. EC 1.17.7.3). The enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is active with photoreduced 5-deazaflavin but not with flavodoxin.
