Tpen_1449

Gene
Tpen_1449
Protein
Digeranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Thermofilum pendens (strain DSM 2475 / Hrk 5)
Length
284 amino acids
Function
Prenyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the geranylgeranyl moiety of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the C2 hydroxyl of (S)-3-O-geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate (GGGP). This reaction is the second ether-bond-formation step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids.
Similarity
Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family. DGGGP synthase subfamily.
