EC 2.5.1.155 Details
EC number
2.5.1.155
Accepted name
phosphoglycerol geranylfarnesyltransferase
Reaction
all-trans-pentaprenyl diphosphate + sn-glycerol 1-phosphate = sn-3-O-(farnesylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate + diphosphate
Other name(s)
GFGP synthase
Systematic name
all-trans pentaprenyl diphosphate:sn-glycerol-1-phosphate pentaprenyltransferase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the archaeon Aeropyrum pernix, catalyses the first pathway-specific step in the biosynthesis of the core membrane C25,C25-diether lipids in some archaea. It does not act on geranylgeranyl diphosphate. cf. EC 2.5.1.41, phosphoglycerol geranylgeranyltransferase.
