2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase (MEcPP synthase, IspF, EC 4.6.1.12) is a zinc-dependent enzyme which participates in the MEP pathway (non-mevalonate pathway) of isoprenoid precursor biosynthesis. It catalyzes the chemical reaction:
- 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate + CMP
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2-phosphate (CDP-MEP), and two products, 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate (MEcPP) and CMP.[1]
The enzyme is considered a phosphorus-oxygen lyase. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-phospho-4-(cytidine 5'-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol CMP-lyase (cyclizing; 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate-forming). Other names in common use include IspF, YgbB and MEcPP synthase.
