Characterization of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis 4-diphosphocytidyl-2-C-methyl-D-erythritol synthase: potential for drug development.

abstract：:An enzymatic assay was developed to measure tetrahydromethanopterin (H(4)MPT) levels in wild-type and mutant cells of Methylobacterium extorquens AM1. H(4)MPT was detectable in wild-type cells but not in strains with a mutation of either the orf4 or the dmrA gene, suggesting a role for these two genes in H(4)MPT biosy...
