Type 2 isopentenyl diphosphate:dimethylallyl diphosphate isomerase requires redox co-enzymes, i.e., flavin mononucleotide (FMN) and NAD(P)H, for activity, although it catalyzes a non-redox reaction. Spectrometric studies and enzyme assays under anaerobic conditions indicate that FMN is reduced through the reaction and is sufficient for activity. The sole function of NAD(P)H appears to be the reduction of FMN since it could be replaced by an alternate reducing agent. When the enzyme was reconstructed with a flavin analogue, no activity was detected, suggesting that the isomerase reaction proceeds via a radical transfer mechanism.
