EC 2.7.7.67 Details
EC number
2.7.7.67
Accepted name
CDP-2,3-bis-(O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol synthase
Reaction
CTP + 2,3-bis-(O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate = diphosphate + CDP-2,3-bis-(O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol
Other name(s)
carS (gene name), CDP-2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol synthase, CTP:2,3-GG-GP ether cytidylyltransferase, CTP:2,3-di-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-1-phosphate cytidyltransferase, CDP-2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol synthase, CTP:2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycero-1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase, CDP-unsaturated archaeol synthase, CDP-archaeol synthase (incorrect)
Systematic name
CTP:2,3-bis-(O-geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate cytidylyltransferase
CAS registry number
329791-09-5
Comment
This enzyme catalyses one of the steps in the biosynthesis of polar lipids in archaea, which are characterized by having an sn-glycerol 1-phosphate backbone rather than an sn-glycerol 3-phosphate backbone as is found in bacteria and eukaryotes [1]. The enzyme requires Mg2+ and K+ for maximal activity [1].
