Entry
Name
tritrans,polycis-undecaprenyl diphosphate synthase [geranylgeranyl-diphosphate specific]
Class

Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups;
Transferring alkyl or aryl groups, other than methyl groups (only sub-subclass identified to date)
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate cistransferase (adding 7 isopentenyl units)
Reaction(IUBMB)
geranylgeranyl diphosphate + 7 isopentenyl diphosphate = 7 diphosphate + tritrans,heptacis-undecaprenyl diphosphate [RN:
R09730 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
geranylgeranyl diphosphate [CPD:
C00353 ];
isopentenyl diphosphate [CPD:
C00129 ]
Product
diphosphate [CPD:
C00013 ];
tritrans,heptacis-undecaprenyl diphosphate [CPD:
C19852 ]
Comment
This enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the glycosyl carrier lipid in some archaebacteria. Unlike EC
2.5.1.31 , its counterpart in most bacteria, it prefers geranylgeranyl diphosphate to farnesyl diphosphate as the allylic substrate, resulting in production of a tritrans,polycis variant of undecaprenyl diphosphate [1].
History
EC 2.5.1.89 created 2010, modified 2011
Pathway
ec00900 Terpenoid backbone biosynthesis
Orthology
