IUBMB Enzyme Nomenclature

EC 5.3.3.2

Accepted name: isopentenyl-diphosphate Δ-isomerase

Reaction: 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate = prenyl diphosphate

Other name(s): isopentenylpyrophosphate Δ-isomerase; methylbutenylpyrophosphate isomerase; isopentenylpyrophosphate isomerase

Systematic name: 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl-diphosphate Δ32-isomerase

Comments: The enzyme from Streptomyces sp. strain CL190 requires FMN and NAD(P)H as cofactors. Activity is reduced if FMN is replaced by FAD, but the enzyme becomes inactive when NAD(P)H is replaced by NAD+ or NADP+. That enzyme also requires Mg2+, Mn2+ or Ca2+ for activity.
