Protein
Decaprenyl-phosphate phosphoribosyltransferase
Organism
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (strain CDC 1551 / Oshkosh)
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) (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family.
