Mevalonate 3,5-biphosphate decarboxylase is found in ''Picrophilus Torridus'', a thermoacidophilic archaeon of the order Thermoplasmatales. The enzyme catalyzes the elimination of the 3-phosphate group from mevalonate3,5-biphosphate as well as concomitant decarboxylation of the substrate, GGPP. | |||
== Biological relevance and broader implications == ''Picrophilus Torridus''undergoes Thermoplasma-type MVA (mevalonate). This is relevant because the journal is analyzing a distinction between a novel variant of the eukaryotic MVA pathway. | Mevalonate 3,5-biphosphate decarboxylase is found in ''Picrophilus Torridus'', a thermoacidophilic archaeon of the order Thermoplasmatales.
