Msm_0124

Gene
Msm_0124
Protein
Geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Methanobrevibacter smithii (strain ATCC 35061 / DSM 861 / OCM 144 / PS)
Length
250 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
