1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate reductoisomerase
The enzyme requires Mn2+, Co2+ or Mg2+ for activity, with the first being most effective. The enzyme from several eubacteria, including Escherichia coli, forms part of an alternative nonmevalonate pathway for terpenoid biosynthesis (for diagram, click here). The mechanism has been shown to be a retroaldol/aldol reaction.
