Protein
Decaprenyl-phosphate phosphoribosyltransferase
Organism
Mycobacterium smegmatis (strain ATCC 700084 / mc(2)155)
Function
Involved in the biosynthesis of decaprenylphosphoryl arabinose (DPA) a precursor for arabinan synthesis in mycobacterial cell wall biosynthesis. Catalyzes the transfer of a 5-phosphoribosyl residue from phosphoribose diphosphate (pRpp) to decaprenyl phosphate (DP) to form decaprenylphosphoryl-5-phosphoribose (DPPR).
Similarity
Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.
