General annotation (Comments)

Function

Prenyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the geranylgeranyl moiety of geranylgeranyl diphosphate (GGPP) to the C2 hydroxyl of (S)-3-O-geranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate (GGGP). This reaction is the second ether-bond-formation step in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids. Can not use other prenyl donors, i.e. farnesyl diphosphate (FPP) and phytyl diphosphate. Moreover, 4-hydroxybenzoate, 1,4-dihydroxy 2-naphthoate, homogentisate, and alpha-glycerophosphate do not function as prenyl acceptor substrates. Ref.3

Catalytic activity

Geranylgeranyl diphosphate + sn-3-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate = diphosphate + 2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate. Ref.3

Cofactor

Magnesium. Can also use Ca2+, but less efficiently. Ref.3

Enzyme regulation

Inhibited by EDTA in vitro. Ref.3

Pathway

Membrane lipid metabolism; glycerophospholipid metabolism. HAMAP-Rule MF_01286

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Probable Ref.3.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the UbiA prenyltransferase family. DGGGP synthase subfamily.

Biophysicochemical properties

pH dependence:

Optimum pH is 6.0. HAMAP-Rule MF_01286
