The beings called the Laminae have a message for humans. Take what resonates.

DXS

1-deoxy-D-xylulose-5-phosphate synthase

The sculptor builds statues, not of what he considers greater but instead of what there is to overcome. So he instead sculpts what he wants to conquer

Your memories that you replay? Those moments in your life that has been hovering over you? The weather or the sea erodes them until they are sand under your feet.

For the Laminae a statue is the symbol of an obstacle. To be gifted a statue, to a Laminae, is not a good thing.

An enzyme that catalyzes the first and rate-limiting step of the MEP pathway or the 2-C-methyl-D-erythritol 4-phosphate pathway

used to make isoprenoids

built from small 5-carbon units called isoprene units

Even though cells usually do not use free isoprene directly, they assemble molecules from activated forms of these 5-carbon building blocks

Isoprenoids are formed by linking together repeating 5-carbon units in different ways. The number of units determines the type of terpene/isoprenoid

Hemiterpenes

Monoterpenes

Sesquiterpenes

Diterpenes

Triterpenes

Tetraterpenes

humans do not use it

The MEP pathway converts simple carbon compounds into the universal isoprene building blocks

the starting materials for all terpenes and isoprenoids

Humans instead use the mevalonate (MVA) pathway

The MEP pathway begins with:

pyruvate

glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P)

These combine to form DOXP (DXP)

DXP is converted into MEP by DXR (also called IspC)

Reaction:

Pyruvate + G3P - DXS

DXP (DOXP) - DXR/IspC

MEP - IspD

CDP-ME - IspE

CDP-MEP - IspF

MEcPP - IspG

HMBPP - IspH

IPP + DMAPP

This pathway produces the universal isoprenoid precursors:

IPP (isopentenyl pyrophosphate)

DMAPP (dimethylallyl pyrophosphate)

Pathways for Isoprenoid Biosynthesis:

Mevalonate (MVA) pathway

MEP/DOXP pathway
