Pyridoxal phosphate biosynthetic protein PdxA
In Escherichia coli the coenzyme pyridoxal 5'-phosphate is synthesised de novo by a pathway that is thought to involve the condensation of 4-(phosphohydroxy)-L-threonine and 1-deoxy-D-xylulose, catalyzed by the enzymes PdxA and PdxJ, to form either pyridoxine (vitamin B6) or pyridoxine 5'-phosphate.
