Identification
Name:1,4-Dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid
Description1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate is a member of the chemical class known as Naphthalenecarboxylic Acids and Derivatives. These are compounds containing a napthalene moiety with a ring carbon which bears a carboxylic acid group. 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate is invovled in ubiquinone and other terpenoid-quinone biosynthesis, and the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites. It has been postulated that 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid is the naphthalenic intermediate in the biosynthesis of menaquinone (vitamin K2) in Escherichia coli to which the octaprenyl side chain is attached to from demethylmenaquinone. (PMID 949474) It was demonstrated that chorismate is the branch point compound leading to menaquinone, and that 2-succinylbenzoic acid and 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoic acid can serve as menaquinoone precursors in E. (PMID 1091286)

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in transferase activity
Specific function:
Conversion of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA) to dimethylmenaquinone (DMK). Attaches octaprenylpyrophosphate, a membrane-bound 40-carbon side chain to DHNA. The conversion of DHNA to DMK proceeds in three stages:the removal of the carboxyl group of DHNA as CO(2), the attachment of the isoprenoid side chain, and a quinol-to-quinone oxidation, which is thought to be spontaneous
