CD Definition:
Thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP) family, SHCHC synthase subfamily, TPP-binding module; composed of proteins similar to Escherichia coli 2-succinyl-6-hydroxyl-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylic acid (SHCHC) synthase (also called MenD). SHCHC synthase plays a key role in the menaquinone biosynthetic pathway, converting isochorismate and 2-oxoglutarate to SHCHC, pyruvate and carbon dioxide. The enzyme requires TPP and a divalent metal cation for activity.
