The UbiX flavin prenyltransferase reaction mechanism resembles class I terpene cyclase chemistry

The UbiD-UbiX decarboxylase system is required for the biosynthesis of quinone cofactors. Here, the authors combine structural and biochemical analyses to elucidate the UbiX reaction mechanism, showing that it resembles the mode of action of class I terpene cyclases.
