ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.42

Accepted Name
geranylgeranylglycerol-phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
(S)-2,3-di-O-geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase
DGGGPS
DGGGP synthase
Reaction catalysed
(2E,6E,10E)-geranylgeranyl diphosphate + sn-3-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate <=> 2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • Carries out the second prenyltransfer reaction involved in the formation of polar membrane lipids in archaea.
  • 4-Hydroxybenzoate, 1,4-dihydroxy 2-naphthoate, homogentisate and alpha-glycerophosphate cannot act as prenyl-acceptor substrates.
  • The other enzymes involved in the biosynthesis of polar lipids in archaea are EC 1.1.1.261, EC 2.5.1.41, which, together with this enzyme, alkylates the hydroxy groups of glycerol 1-phosphate to yield unsaturated archaetidic acid, which is acted upon by EC 2.7.7.67 to form CDP-unsaturated archaeol.
  • The final step in the pathway involves the addition of L-serine, with concomitant removal of CMP, leading to the production of unsaturated archaetidylserine.
