EC 2.5.1.74 Details
EC number
2.5.1.74
Accepted name
1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate polyprenyltransferase
Reaction
an all-trans-polyprenyl diphosphate + 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate = a demethylmenaquinone + diphosphate + CO2
Systematic name
all-trans-polyprenyl-diphosphate:1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate polyprenyltransferase
Comment
This enzyme catalyses a step in the synthesis of menaquinone, in which the prenyl chain synthesized by polyprenyl diphosphate synthase is transferred to 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA). The bacterial enzyme is an inner membrane protein [1], with the C-terminus located in the periplasm [3]. It is highly specific for DHNA but not for a specific length of the prenyl chain [2].
