FunFam 33: Protoheme IX farnesyltransferase

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Heme o synthase. [EC: 2.5.1.141]
(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + protoheme IX = diphosphate + ferroheme o.
  • The enzyme, found in many archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes, produces heme o, which in many cases is further modified into heme a.
  • In organisms that produce heme a, the enzyme forms a complex with heme a synthase.
  • In some archaeal species the enzyme transfers a geranylgeranyl group instead of a farnesyl group.
