dxs coding sequence encoding 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase

This is the coding sequence of dxs from Escherichia coli JM109. It encodes 1-deoxyxylulose-5-phosphate synthase, thiamine-requiring, which catalyses the first step in the biosynthesis of terpenoids. Overexpression of dxs has been reported to increase yields of carotenoids and other terpenoids (Kang, M.J., Lee, Y.M., Yoon, S.H., Kim, J.H., Ock, S.W., Jung, K.H., Shin, Y.C., Keasling, J.D., and Kim, S.W. 2005.
