Menaquinone (Vitamin K(2)) Biosynthesis: Localization and Characterization of the menA Gene from Escherichia coli

A key reaction in the biosynthesis of menaquinone involves the conversion of the soluble bicyclic naphthalenoid compound 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid (DHNA) to the membrane-bound demethylmenaquinone. The enzyme catalyzing this reaction, DHNA-octaprenyltransferase, attaches a 40-carbon side chain t...
