Abstract

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing theresources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject andinvestigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source,and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed isfor the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator.(1R,6R)-2-Succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate (SHCHC) synthase, also called MenD, participates in the menaquinone (Vitamin K2) biosynthetic pathway. The enzyme is a part of the superfamily of ThDP-dependent enzymes, however it is the only enzyme known to catalyze a Stetter-like 1,4-addition of a ThDP adduct to the alpha-carbon of an unsaturated carboxylate. The crystal structure of this enzyme will be important for clarifying the mechanism of this important enzyme.
