Superfamily UbiD C-terminal domain-like
Functional Family 3-octaprenyl-4-hydroxybenzoate carboxy-lyase

Enzyme Information

4.1.1.98
4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate decarboxylase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0AAB4
A 4-hydroxy-3-polyprenylbenzoate = a 2-polyprenylphenol + CO(2).
-!- The enzyme catalyzes a step in prokaryotic ubiquinone biosynthesis, as well as in plastoquinone biosynthesis in cyanobacteria. -!- The enzyme can accept substrates with different polyprenyl tail lengths in vitro, but uses a specific length in vivo, which is determined by the polyprenyl diphosphate synthase that exists in the specific organism. -!- It requires a prenylated flavin cofactor that is produced by EC 2.5.1.129.
