EC 2.5.1.117 Details
EC number
2.5.1.117
Accepted name
homogentisate solanesyltransferase
Reaction
all-trans-nonaprenyl diphosphate + homogentisate = diphosphate + 2-methyl-6-all-trans-nonaprenylbenzene-1,4-diol + CO2
Other name(s)
HST, PDS2 (gene name)
Systematic name
all-trans-nonaprenyl-diphosphate:homogentisate nonaprenyltransferase
Comment
Requires Mg2+ for activity. Part of the biosynthesis pathway of plastoquinol-9. The enzymes purified from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii are also active in vitro with unsaturated C10 to C20 prenyl diphosphates, producing main products that are not decarboxylated [2].
