Decaprenylphosphoryl-beta-D-ribose oxidase

Also known as: Rv3790, dprE1

Function

Component of the DprE1-DprE2 complex that catalyzes the 2-step epimerization of decaprenyl-phospho-ribose (DPR) to decaprenyl-phospho-arabinose (DPA), a key precursor that serves as the arabinose donor required for the synthesis of cell-wall arabinans. DprE1 catalyzes the first step of epimerization, namely FAD-dependent oxidation of the C2' hydroxyl of DPR to yield the keto intermediate decaprenyl-phospho-2'-keto-D-arabinose (DPX). The intermediate DPX is then transferred to DprE2 subunit of the epimerase complex, most probably through a 'substrate channel' at the interface of DprE1-DprE2 complex. Can also use farnesyl-phosphoryl-beta-D-ribofuranose (FPR) as substrate in vitro. Appears to be essential for the growth and survival of M.tuberculosis.
