| EC | 3.6.1.76 | ||
| Accepted name: | prenyl-diphosphate phosphatase | ||
| Reaction: | (1) prenyl diphosphate + H2O = prenyl phosphate + phosphate (2) 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate + H2O = 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl phosphate + phosphate |
||
| Glossary: | isopentenyl = 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl prenyl = 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl = dimethylallyl dimethylallyl diphosphate = DMAPP isopentenyl diphosphate = IPP |
||
| Systematic name: | prenyl diphosphate/3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl diphosphate phosphohydrolase | ||
| Comments: | The enzyme, characterized from the methanogenic archaeon Methanosarcina mazei, belongs to the Nudix hydrolase family (a superfamily of hydrolytic enzymes capable of cleaving nucleoside diphosphates linked to a moiety). Its main purpose is to provide the substrate for EC 2.5.1.129, flavin prenyltransferase. | ||
