These doubly-labeled isoprenoid precursors in the mevalonate independent route were incorporated into the ubiquinone of E. coli. 1J 13C/13C coupling constants were respectively found in isoprenic units between carbon atoms derived from C-3 and C-4 of isopentenyl diphosphate using the former labeled precursor or between C-3 and C-2 using the latter, indicating that d-1-deoxyxylulose was incorporated without prior degradation into isoprenoids and confirming that the branched isoprenic skeleton resulted from a rearrangement of the straight chain from carbohydrate precursor. © 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
