Abstract

Enzyme of the rings: Vitamin B6 biosynthesis through the DXP independent route is catalyzed by PLP synthase. The enzyme utilizes ribose 5 phosphate glyceraldehyde 3 phosphate and ammonia to synthesize the cofactor form of the vitamin pyridoxal 5' phosphate (PLP). This review provides the emerging mechanistic details of this remarkable Pdx1:Pdx2 glutamine amidotransferase complex.
