QueD is one of several enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of the hypermodified nucleoside queuosine. Formation of queuosine is a multistep reaction that can be divided into three stages, overview
physiological function
-
QueD catalyzes the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate to 6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin, CPH4. QueD can also convert 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin, PPH4, and sepiapterin to CPH4
