EC 2.5.1.88 Details
EC number
2.5.1.88
Accepted name
trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase [(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific]
Reaction
(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + n isopentenyl diphosphate = n diphosphate + trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate (n = 9–11)
Systematic name
(2Z,6E)-farnesyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 9–11 isopentenyl units)
Comment
Highest activity with (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate. Broad product specificity with the major product being dodecaprenyl diphosphate. Synthesizes even C70 prenyl diphosphate as the maximum chain-length product [1].
