1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase (Dxs) enzyme from MEP pathway isolated from B. subtilis 168

The MEP pathway is a common bacterial isoprenoid pathway. To improve the yield of the end product, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate(DMAPP), Zhao L et al. expressed, in 2011, the 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase(Dxs) gene as well as the enzyme catalyzing the second step of the MEP pathway. They observed a 2.3 fold increase in isoprene output (isoprene is one of many products from the MEP pathway).

From Biocyc: "Dxs catalyzes the thiamin diphosphate-dependent reaction that condenses pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate to yield 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate [Julsing07]. This is the first, rate-limiting step in the methylerythritol phosphate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis, and is believed to feed into the pyridoxal 5-phosphate (vitamin B6) and thiamin (vitamin B1) biosynthesis pathways."
