pfam03740: PdxJ (This model is not part of the current CDD release)
Pyridoxal phosphate biosynthesis protein PdxJ
Members of this family belong to the PdxJ family that catalyzes the condensation of 1-deoxy-d-xylulose-5-phosphate (DXP) and 1-amino-3-oxo-4-(phosphohydroxy)propan-2-one to form pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP). This reaction is involved in de novo synthesis of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and pyridoxal phosphate.
