Inositol Pathway. The identified predicted enzyme activities of Blochmannia are mapped on the pathway of inositol synthesis. Theyinclude: a MFS family transporter (Bfl240, IolF-like, top right; exact substrate specificity not known), ADP-heptose synthase (Bfl063, IolC-like), an acetolactate synthase II, large subunit (Bfl593; IolD-like) and its small subunit, neighbouring protein Bfl 592 (both proteins should physically interact), fructose 1,6-bisphosphate aldolase (Bfl255, IolJ-like; this enzyme is also involved in glycolysis) and predicted myo-inositol-1(or 4)-monophosphatase (Bfl535; related to the Archaeal fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase and related enzymes of inositol monophosphatase family). Bfl601 (triosephosphate isomerase) finishes the pathway converting created dihydroxyacetone phosphate into glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.
