FunFam 9438: Phytoene synthase 2, chloroplastic

There are 3 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
15-cis-phytoene synthase. [EC: 2.5.1.32]
2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate = 15-cis-phytoene + 2 diphosphate.
  • The enzyme produces 15-cis-phytoene.
  • Cf. EC 2.5.1.99.

4,4'-diapophytoene synthase. [EC: 2.5.1.96]
2 (2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate = 15-cis-4,4'-diapophytoene + 2 diphosphate.
  • Typical of Staphylococcus aureus and some other bacteria such as Heliobacillus sp.

All-trans-phytoene synthase. [EC: 2.5.1.99]
2 geranylgeranyl diphosphate = all-trans-phytoene + 2 diphosphate.
  • The enzyme from the bacterium Pantoea agglomerans (previously known as Erwinia herbicola) produces the all-trans isomer of phytoene.
  • Cf. EC 2.5.1.32.
