In the bacterium Escherichia coli, gcpE is an essential gene in the methylerythritol phosphate pathway for isoprenoid biosynthesis. Incubation of [1-3 H]methylerythritol with an E. coli mutant defective in the gcpE gene resulted in the accumulation of [1-3 H]methylerythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate. Th

Optically pure 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate, a key intermediate in the mevalonate-independent route for isoprenoid biosynthesis, is conveniently synthesized from 1,2-O-isopropylidene-a-d-xylofuranose, including the possibility of radiolabeling of this substrate.
