  • Title: Short-chain prenyl diphosphate synthase that condenses isopentenyl diphosphate with dimethylallyl diphosphate in ispA null Escherichia coli strain lacking farnesyl diphosphate synthase.
    Author: Saito K, Fujisaki S, Nishino T.
    Journal: J Biosci Bioeng; 2007 Jun; 103(6):575-7. PubMed ID: 17630132.
    Abstract:
    A short-chain prenyl diphosphate synthase in an Escherichia coli mutant that lacked the gene coding for farnesyl diphosphate synthase, ispA, was separated from other prenyl diphosphate synthases by DEAE-Toyopearl column chromatography. The purified enzyme catalyzed the condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate with dimethylallyl diphosphate to form farnesyl diphosphate and geranylgeranyl diphosphate.
