Synthesis of (E)-4-hydroxydimethylallyl diphosphate. An intermediate in the methyl erythritol phosphate branch of the isoprenoid pathway

The syntheses of (E)-1-hydroxy-2-methyl-2-buten-4-yl diphosphate ((E)-4-hydroxydimethylallyl diphosphate, HDMAPP), an intermediate in the methyl erythritol phosphate pathway, and (E)-[4-2H]HDMAPP were accomplished in two steps from (E)-4-chloro-2-methyl-2-butenal. The synthetic route is easily adaptable for the facile incorporation of tritium at C-4 of the diphosphate.

IspG converts an epoxide substrate analogue to (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2- enyl diphosphate: Implications for IspG catalysis in isoprenoid biosynthesis

(Chemical Equation Presented) IspG is an intriguing enzyme in bacteria, parasite, and plant isoprenoid biosynthesis, and its catalytic mechanism remains elusive. We report here the synthesis of (2R,3R)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2,3- epoxybutanyl diphosphate (Epoxy-HMBPP), a proposed intermediate in one of the frequently cited mechanistic models. We have also demonstrated that this epoxide analogue is a catalytically competent IspG substrate. This study represents the first mechanistic study of this important enzyme.
