EC 2.7.7.60 Details
EC number
2.7.7.60
Accepted name
2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase
Reaction
CTP + 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate = diphosphate + 4-(cytidine 5′-diphospho)-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol
Other name(s)
MEP cytidylyltransferase
Systematic name
CTP:2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate cytidylyltransferase
CAS registry number
251990-59-7
Comment
The enzyme from Escherichia coli requires Mg2+ or Mn2+. ATP or UTP can replace CTP, but both are less effective. GTP and TTP are not substrates. Forms part of an alternative nonmevalonate pathway for terpenoid biosynthesis (for diagram, click here).
