An alternative mechanism of product chain-length determination in type III geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthase.

European journal of biochemistry - 1 May 2003

Hemmi Hisashi, Noike Motoyoshi, Nakayama Toru, Nishino Tokuzo

Abstract excerpt

(All-E) prenyl diphosphate synthases catalyze the consecutive condensation of isopentenyl diphosphates with allylic prenyl diphosphates, producing products with various chain-lengths that are unique for each enzyme. Some short-chain (all-E) prenyl diphosphate synthases, i.e. farnesyl diphosphate synthases and geranylgeranyl diphosphate synthases contain characteristic amino acid sequences around the allylic...
