MJ1250

Gene
MJ1250
Protein
Geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Methanocaldococcus jannaschii (strain ATCC 43067 / DSM 2661 / JAL-1 / JCM 10045 / NBRC 100440)
Length
253 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
