Hbut_0025

Gene
Hbut_0025
Protein
Digeranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
Organism
Hyperthermus butylicus (strain DSM 5456 / JCM 9403 / PLM1-5)
Length
302 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.
