Enzyme Information

2.5.1.31

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

based on mapping to UniProt P60472

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 8 isopentenyl diphosphate = 8 diphosphate + di-trans,octa-cis-undecaprenyl diphosphate.

-!- Undecaprenyl pyrophosphate synthase catalyzes the consecutive condensation reactions of a farnesyl diphosphate with eight isopentenyl diphosphates, in which new cis-double bonds are formed, to generate undecaprenyl diphosphate that serves as a lipid carrier for peptidoglycan synthesis of bacterial cell wall.
