Hbut_0005

Gene
Hbut_0005
Protein
Geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Hyperthermus butylicus (strain DSM 5456 / JCM 9403 / PLM1-5)
Length
241 amino acids
Function
Prenyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the geranylgeranyl moiety of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the C3 hydroxyl of sn-glycerol-1-phosphate (G1P). This reaction is the first ether-bond-formation step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids.
Similarity
Belongs to the GGGP/HepGP synthase family. Group II subfamily.
Mass
