Cellular and structural basis of synthesis of the unique intermediate dehydro-F420-0 in mycobacteria
R. Grinter, B. Ney, R. Brammananth…·C. Greening
This study resolves the biosynthesis pathway of F420 in mycobacteria by showing phosphoenolpyruvate, not 2-phospholactate, is the precursor and identifies the structural mechanism of dehydro-F420-0 production.
