Abstract
(E)-4-Hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate reductase, or IspH (formerly known as LytB), catalyzes the terminal step of the bacterial methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway for isoprene synthesis. This step converts (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate (HMBPP) into one of two possible isomeric products, either isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) or dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). This reaction involves the removal of the C4 hydroxyl group of HMBPP and addition of two electrons. IspH contains a [4Fe-4S] cluster in its active site, and multiple cluster-based paramagnetic species of uncertain redox and ligation states can be detected after incubation with reductant, addition of a ligand, or during catalysis. To characterize the clusters in these species, 57Fe-labeled samples of IspH were prepared and studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), 57Fe electron-nuclear double resonance (ENDOR), and Mössbauer spectroscopies. Notably, this ENDOR study provides a rarely reported, complete determination of the 57Fe hyperfine tensors for all four Fe ions in a [4Fe-4S] cluster. The resting state of the enzyme (Ox) has a diamagnetic [4Fe-4S]2+ cluster. Reduction generates [4Fe-4S]+ (Red) with both S = 1/2 and S = 3/2 spin ground states. When the reduced enzyme is incubated with substrate, a transient paramagnetic reaction intermediate is detected (Int) which is thought to contain a cluster-bound substrate-derived species. The EPR properties of Int are indicative of a 3+ iron-sulfur cluster oxidation state, and the Mössbauer spectra presented here confirm this. Incubation of reduced enzyme with the product IPP induced yet another paramagnetic [4Fe-4S]+ species (Red+P) with S = 1/2. However, the g-tensor of this state is commonly associated with a 3+ oxidation state, while Mössbauer parameters show features typical for 2+ clusters. Implications of these complicated results are discussed.

Abstract
The non-mevalonate or also called MEP pathway is an essential route for the biosynthesis of isoprenoid precursors in most bacteria and in microorganisms belonging to the Apicomplexa phylum, such as the parasite responsible for malaria. The absence of this pathway in mammalians makes it an interesting target for the discovery of novel anti-infectives. As last enzyme of this pathway, IspH is an oxygen sensitive [4Fe-4S] metalloenzyme that catalyzes 2H+/2e− reductions and a water elimination by involving non-conventional bioinorganic and bioorganometallic intermediates. After a detailed description of the discovery of the [4Fe-4S] cluster of IspH, this review focuses on the IspH mechanism discussing the results that have been obtained in the last decades using an approach combining chemistry, enzymology, crystallography, spectroscopies, and docking calculations. Considering the interesting druggability of this enzyme, a section about the inhibitors of IspH discovered up to now is reported as well. The presented results constitute a useful and rational help to inaugurate the design and development of new potential chemotherapeutics against pathogenic organisms.

Abstract
(E)-4-Hydroxy-3-methylbut-2-enyl diphosphate (HMBPP) reductase (IspH, HDR or LytB) is an Fe/S enzyme catalyzing the reductive dehydroxylation of HMBPP to isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP) in the last step of methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway. The MEP pathway is known to produce 4-6:1 ratio of IPP and DMAPP mixture by the last enzyme, IspH. Plant IspH in plastids follows same catalytic mechanism as others, but GbIspH (Ginkgo biloba IspH) was reported to produce a mixture of IPP and DMAPP in a ratio of 16:1. Present catalytic mechanisms of IspH involve a common allyl anion intermediate, and the intramolecular proton transfer to the allyl moiety is considered as the key reaction step determining the product between IPP and DMAPP. The F212 residue in plant IspH was found as a potential amino acid residue that could mediate the proton transfer to the allyl anion intermediate before the product release. In this report, catalytic function of GbIspH F212 residue (H74 in E. coli), especially during the product formation in the active site, was studied by means of site-directed mutation. The product ratio of IPP/DMAPP was measured as 6.5 ± 0.1 for F212H GbIspH, and the value was close to the reported bacterial IspH having His residue on that specific position. Along with the other F212Y mutant, of which ratio was determined as 10.9 ± 0.1, the results strongly support that the Phe residue in plant IspH is the key amino acid residue that allows exclusive production of IPP in plant chloroplast.

Abstract
The recently discovered methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway provides new targets for the development of antibacterial and antimalarial drugs. In the final step of the MEP pathway, the [4Fe-4S] IspH protein catalyzes the 2e(-)/2H(+) reductive dehydroxylation of (E)-4-hydroxy-3-methyl-but-2-enyl diphosphate (HMBPP) to afford the isoprenoid precursors isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). Recent experiments have attempted to elucidate the IspH catalytic mechanism to drive inhibitor development. Two competing mechanisms have recently emerged, differentiated by their proposed HMBPP binding modes upon 1e(-) reduction of the [4Fe-4S] cluster: (1) a Birch reduction mechanism, in which HMBPP remains bound to the [4Fe-4S] cluster through its terminal C4-OH group (ROH-bound) until the -OH is cleaved as water; and (2) an organometallic mechanism, in which the C4-OH group rotates away from the [4Fe-4S] cluster, allowing the HMBPP olefin group to form a metallacycle complex with the apical iron (η(2)-bound). We perform broken-symmetry density functional theory computations to assess the energies and reduction potentials associated with the ROH- and η(2)-bound states implicated by these competing mechanisms. Reduction potentials obtained for ROH-bound states are more negative (-1.4 to -1.0 V) than what is typically expected of [4Fe-4S] ferredoxin proteins. Instead, we find that η(2)-bound states are lower in energy than ROH-bound states when the [4Fe-4S] cluster is 1e(-) reduced. Furthermore, η(2)-bound states can already be generated in the oxidized state, yielding reduction potentials of ca. -700 mV when electron addition occurs after rotation of the HMBPP C4-OH group. We demonstrate that such η(2)-bound states are kinetically accessible both when the IspH [4Fe-4S] cluster is oxidized and 1e(-) reduced. The energetically preferred pathway gives 1e(-) reduction of the cluster after substrate conformational change, generating the 1e(-) reduced intermediate proposed in the organometallic mechanism.

Abstract
With current therapies becoming less efficacious due to increased drug resistance, new inhibitors of both bacterial and malarial targets are desperately needed. The recently discovered methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway for isoprenoid synthesis provides novel targets for the development of such drugs. Particular attention has focused on the IspH protein, the final enzyme in the MEP pathway, which uses its [4Fe-4S] cluster to catalyze the formation of the isoprenoid precursors IPP and DMAPP from HMBPP. IspH catalysis is achieved via a 2e-/2H+ reductive dehydroxylation of HMBPP; the mechanism by which catalysis is achieved, however, is highly controversial. The work presented herein provides the first step in assessing different routes to catalysis by using computational methods. By performing broken-symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations that employ both the conductor-like screening solvation model (DFT/COSMO) and a finite-difference Poisson-Boltzmann self-consistent reaction field methodology (DFT/SCRF), we evaluate geometries, energies, and Mössbauer signatures of the different protonation states that may exist in the oxidized state of the IspH catalytic cycle. From DFT/SCRF computations performed on the oxidized state, we find a state where the substrate, HMBPP, coordinates the apical iron in the [4Fe-4S] cluster as an alcohol group (ROH) to be one of two, isoenergetic, lowest-energy states. In this state, the HMBPP pyrophosphate moiety and an adjacent glutamate residue (E126) are both fully deprotonated, making the active site highly anionic. Our findings that this low-energy state also matches the experimental geometry of the active site and that its computed isomer shifts agree with experiment validate the use of the DFT/SCRF method to assess relative energies along the IspH reaction pathway. Additional studies of IspH catalytic intermediates are currently being pursued.

Abstract
Enzymes of the methylerythritol phosphate pathway of isoprenoid biosynthesis are attractive anti-infective drug targets. The last two enzymes of this pathway, IspG and IspH, are [Fe4 S4 ] proteins that are not produced by humans and catalyze 2 H(+) / 2 e(-) reductions with novel mechanisms. In this Review, we summarize recent advances in structural, mechanistic, and inhibitory studies of these two enzymes. In particular, mechanistic proposals involving bioorganometallic intermediates are presented, and compared with other mechanistic possibilities. In addition, inhibitors based on substrate analogues as well as developed by rational design and compound-library screening, are discussed. The results presented support bioorganometallic catalytic mechanisms for IspG and IspH, and open up new routes to anti-infective drug design targeting [Fe4 S4 ] clusters in proteins.

Abstract
Isoprenoids are a class of natural products with more than 55,000 members. All isoprenoids are constructed from two precursors, isopentenyl diphosphate and its isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate. Two of the most important discoveries in isoprenoid biosynthetic studies in recent years are the elucidation of a second isoprenoid biosynthetic pathway [the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway] and a modified mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway. In this review, we summarize mechanistic insights on the MEP pathway enzymes. Because many isoprenoids have important biological activities, the need to produce them in sufficient quantities for downstream research efforts or commercial application is apparent. Recent advances in both MVA and MEP pathway-based synthetic biology are also illustrated by reviewing the landmark work of artemisinic acid and taxadien-5α-ol production through microbial fermentations.

Abstract
Isoprenoids are one of the largest classes of natural products and all of them are constructed from two precursors, isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and its isomer dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP). For decades, the mevalonic acid (MVA) pathway was proposed to be the only IPP and DMAPP biosynthetic pathway. This review summarizes the newly discovered IPP and DMAPP production pathways since late 1990s, their distribution among different kingdoms, and their roles in secondary metabolite production. These new IPP and DMAPP production pathways include the methylerythritol phosphate (MEP) pathway, a modified MVA pathway, and the 5-methylthioadenosine shunt pathway. Relative to the studies on the MVA pathway, information on the MEP pathway regulation is limited and the mechanistic details of several of its novel transformations remain to be addressed. Current status on both MEP pathway regulation and mechanistic issues is also presented.

Abstract
The [4Fe-4S] protein IspH in the methylerythritol phosphate isoprenoid biosynthesis pathway is an important anti-infective drug target, but its mechanism of action is still the subject of debate. Here, by using electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and (2)H, (17)O, and (57)Fe isotopic labeling, we have characterized and assigned two key reaction intermediates in IspH catalysis. The results are consistent with the bioorganometallic mechanism proposed earlier, and the mechanism is proposed to have similarities to that of ferredoxin, thioredoxin reductase, in that one electron is transferred to the [4Fe-4S](2+) cluster, which then performs a formal two-electron reduction of its substrate, generating an oxidized high potential iron-sulfur protein (HiPIP)-like intermediate. The two paramagnetic reaction intermediates observed correspond to the two intermediates proposed in the bioorganometallic mechanism: the early π-complex in which the substrate's 3-CH(2)OH group has rotated away from the reduced iron-sulfur cluster, and the next, η(3)-allyl complex formed after dehydroxylation. No free radical intermediates are observed, and the two paramagnetic intermediates observed do not fit in a Birch reduction-like or ferraoxetane mechanism. Additionally, we show by using EPR spectroscopy and X-ray crystallography that two substrate analogues (4 and 5) follow the same reaction mechanism.
