TON_1950 (Digeranylgeranylglyceryl phosphate synthase)

FEATURES

FAMILY

DESCRIPTION

Also known as DGGGP_THEON, TON_1950. 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.
