Abstract: | IspH in the deoxyxylulose phosphate (DXP) pathway catalyzes the reductive dehydration of (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-2-butenyl diphosphate (HMBPP) to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), which are the starting materials for the synthesis of thousands of isoprenoids. Several models have been proposed in the literature to account for this unique transformation, and most of them involve the formation of an allylic radical intermediate. To facilitate trapping and characterizing the proposed intermediates in the IspH-catalyzed reactions, in the present work, we report the synthesis of four isotopically labeled IspH substrate analogues. These isotopically labeled mechanistic probes will be utilized in the future for characterizing the proposed IspH reaction intermediates by the combination of bioorganic and biophysical approaches. |
