In enzymology, a geranylgeranylglycerol-phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase (EC 2.5.1.42) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- geranylgeranyl diphosphate + sn-3-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate diphosphate + 2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are geranylgeranyl diphosphate and sn-3-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 2,3-bis-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl groups or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is geranylgeranyl diphosphate:sn-3-O-(geranylgeranyl)glycerol 1-phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase. Other names in common use include geranylgeranyloxyglycerol phosphate geranylgeranyltransferase, and geranylgeranyltransferase II.
Structural studies[edit]
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2F6U and 2F6X.
