Trans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase ((2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific)

UniProtKB accession:  Q47RM6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the synthesis of Z,E-mixed prenyl diphosphates by a condensation of isopentenyl diphosphate to an allylic diphosphate. It shows a large substrate specificity accepting dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), GPP, E,Efarnesyl diphosphate (FPP), E,E,E-geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP), neryl diphosphate (Z-GPP), and (2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate (Z,E-FPP) as allylic substrates. The enzyme exhibits the highest activity when Z,E-FPP is employed as an allylic substrate. The major product is dodecaprenyl diphosphate (C60) under every allylic substrate conditions, but the enzyme is also able to synthesize even C70 prenyl diphosphate as the maximum chain-length product.
