Identification
Name:1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate octaprenyltransferase
Synonyms:
  • DHNA-octaprenyltransferase
Gene Name:menA
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in transferase activity
Specific Function:Conversion of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA) to dimethylmenaquinone (DMK). Attaches octaprenylpyrophosphate, a membrane-bound 40-carbon side chain to DHNA. The conversion of DHNA to DMK proceeds in three stages:the removal of the carboxyl group of DHNA as CO(2), the attachment of the isoprenoid side chain, and a quinol-to-quinone oxidation, which is thought to be spontaneous
Cellular Location:Cell inner membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein
