Identification of a novel class of ω,E,E-farnesyl diphosphate synthase from Mycobacterium tuberculosis
We have identified an ω,E,E-farnesyl diphosphate (ω,E,E-FPP) synthase, encoded by the open reading frame Rv3398c, from Mycobacterium tuberculosis that is unique among reported FPP synthases in that it does not contain the type I (eukaryotic) or the type II (eubacterial) ω,E,E-FPP synthase signature...
