A high-performance liquid chromatography assay for activity of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase, an early enzyme in the recently discovered 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol-4-phosphate pathway, was developed. In this assay, the enzymatic product 1-deoxy-D-xylulose was first derivatized with a fluorescent reagent 2-anthranilic acid, followed by separation using HPLC on a Nova-Pak phenyl column with a mobile phase containing CH3CN-water-1-butylamine-tetrahydrofuran-H3PO4 (2:97:0.125:0.5:0.25, v/v). The eluate was monitored by fluorescence detection at an excitation wavelength of 320 nm and an emission wavelength of 425 nm for quantitation of the fluorescent derivative. A linear response was obtained between 5 and 200 ng of 1-deoxy-D-xylulose. This assay was successfully applied to measure the 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase activity in a recombinant E. coli overexpressing dxs gene. It demonstrated that this assay is simple, sensitive and selective compared to the methods used at present.

D004926 Escherichia coli A species of gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacteria (GRAM-NEGATIVE FACULTATIVELY ANAEROBIC RODS) commonly found in the lower part of the intestine of warm-blooded animals. It is usually nonpathogenic, but some strains are known to produce DIARRHEA and pyogenic infections. Pathogenic strains (virotypes) are classified by their specific pathogenic mechanisms such as toxins (ENTEROTOXIGENIC ESCHERICHIA COLI), etc. Alkalescens-Dispar Group,Bacillus coli,Bacterium coli,Bacterium coli commune,Diffusely Adherent Escherichia coli,E coli,EAggEC,Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli,Enterococcus coli,Diffusely Adherent E. coli,Enteroaggregative E. coli,Enteroinvasive E. coli,Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli
