The antibiotic moenomycin A is a phosphoglycerate derivative with a C25-moenocinyl chain and a branched oligosaccharide. Formation of the C25-chain is catalyzed by the enzyme MoeN5 with geranyl pyrophosphate (GPP) and the sugar-linked 2-Z,E-farnesyl-3-phosphoglycerate (FPG) as its substrates. Previous complex crystal structures with GPP and long-chain alkyl glycosides suggested that GPP binds to the S1 site in a similar way as in most other α-helical prenyltransferases (PTs), and FPG is likely to assume a bent conformation in the S2 site. However, two FPG derivatives synthesized in the current study were found in the S1 site rather than S2 in their complex crystal structures with MoeN5. Apparently S1 is the preferred site for prenyl-containing ligand, and S2 binding may proceed only after S1 is occupied. Thus, like most trans-type PTs, MoeN5 may employ a sequential ionization-condensation-elimination mechanism that involves a carbocation intermediate.

D004122 Dimethylallyltranstransferase An enzyme that, in the pathway of cholesterol biosynthesis, catalyzes the condensation of isopentenyl pyrophosphate and dimethylallylpyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate and geranylpyrophosphate. The enzyme then catalyzes the condensation of the latter compound with another molecule of isopentenyl pyrophosphate to yield pyrophosphate and farnesylpyrophosphate. EC 2.5.1.1.

D016415 Sequence Alignment The arrangement of two or more amino acid or base sequences from an organism or organisms in such a way as to align areas of the sequences sharing common properties. The degree of relatedness or homology between the sequences is predicted computationally or statistically based on weights assigned to the elements aligned between the sequences. This in turn can serve as a potential indicator of the genetic relatedness between the organisms.
