Enzyme Information

2.5.1.86

Trans,polycis-decaprenyl diphosphate synthase.

based on mapping to UniProt P9WFF7

(2Z,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 7 isopentenyl diphosphate = 7 diphosphate + (2Z,6Z,10Z,14Z,18Z,22Z,26Z,30Z,34E)-decaprenyl diphosphate.

-!- The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of decaprenyl phosphate, which plays a central role in the biosynthesis of essential mycobacterial cell wall components, such as the mycolyl- arabinogalactan-peptidoglycan complex and lipoarabinomannan.

2.5.1.87

Ditrans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate synthase ((2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate specific).

based on mapping to UniProt P9WFF7

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + n isopentenyl diphosphate = n diphosphate + ditrans,polycis-polyprenyl diphosphate (n = 10-55).

-!- The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of dolichol (a long-chain polyprenol) with a saturated alpha-isoprene unit, which serves as a glycosyl carrier in protein glycosylation. -!- The yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae has two different enzymes that catalyze this reaction. -!- Rer2p synthesizes a well-defined family of polyprenols of 13-18 isoprene residues with dominating C(80) (16 isoprene residues) extending to C(120), while Srt1p synthesizes mainly polyprenol with 22 isoprene subunits. -!- Largest Srt1p products reach C(290). -!- The enzyme from Arabidopsis thaliana catalyzes the formation of polyprenyl diphosphates with predominant carbon number C(120).
