ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.156

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.5.1.156
Accepted Name
geranylfarnesylglycerol-phosphate geranylfarnesyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
2,3-bis-O-(farnesylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate synthase
2,3-di-O-farnesylgeranylglyceryl synthase
DGFGP synthase
Reaction catalysed
sn-3-(O-farnesylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate + (2E,6E,10E,14E)-geranylfarnesyl diphosphate = 2,3-bis-O-(geranylfarnesyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • The enzyme, characterized from the archaeon Aeropyrum pernix, carries out the second prenyltransfer reaction involved in the formation of C25,C25 membrane diether-lipids in some archaea.
  • Requires a divalent metal cation, such as Mg(2+).
  • The enzyme cannot accept sn-3-(O-geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate as the prenyl donor. cf. EC 2.5.1.42.
