1.3.7.11 2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-phospholipid reductase
IUBMB Comments
A flavoprotein (FAD). The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids. It catalyses the reduction of all 8 double bonds in 2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycero-phospholipids and all 4 double bonds in 3-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol phospholipids with comparable activity. Unlike EC 1.3.1.101, 2,3-bis-O-geranylgeranyl-sn-glycerol 1-phosphate reductase [NAD(P)H], this enzyme shows no activity with NADPH, and requires a dedicated ferredoxin .
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Archaea, Bacteria

MA1492 is a distinct type of archaeal geranylgeranyl reductase that is not homologous to known geranylgeranyl reductases, but is homologous to phytoene desaturase CrtI, which is the carotenogenic enzyme that catalyzes oxidation/isomerization of phytoene to lycopene, CrtI, EC 1.3.5.6

physiological function
the enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of archaeal membrane lipids
physiological function
MA1492 might play a physiological role in the membrane lipid biosynthesis
physiological function
the enzyme is essential in phospholipid biosynthesis. Reduction of the isoprenoid chains occurs only when archaeal ferredoxin is expressed with geranylgeranyl reductase, suggesting the role of ferredoxin as a specific electron donor for the reductase

successful production of an intact archaeal membrane lipid, which has fully saturated isoprenoid chains, in bacterial cells, by heterologous expression of the enzyme from Methanosarcina acetivorans, overview. Introduction of six phospholipid biosynthetic genes from a methanogenic archaeon, Methanosarcina acetivorans, in Escherichia coli enables the host bacterium to synthesize the archaeal lipid, i.e. diphytanylglyceryl phosphoglycerol, while a glycerol modification of the phosphate group that is probably catalyzed by endogenous Escherichia coli enzymes. Reduction of the isoprenoid chains occurs only when archaeal ferredoxin is expressed with geranylgeranyl reductase, suggesting the role of ferredoxin as a specific electron donor for the reductase. Geranylgeranyl reductase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sulfolobus acidocaldarius can, by itself, replace both its orthologue and ferredoxin from Methanosarcina acetivorans, which indicates that an endogenous redox system of Escherichia coli reduces the enzyme

additional information
structure-guided design of the enzyme yields SaGGR variants that enhance the rate of H6GGPP product formation. Additional mutants are observed to arrest the degree of GGPP reduction at H2GGPP and H4GGPP. Crystal structures of these variants reveal the structural bases for their altered activities, in addition to providing insight into the SaGGR mechanism. Three mutants (I206F, L377H, and I206F/L377H) exhibit faster production of H6GGPP than the wild-type, increasing the overall rate of product formation by up to 2.4fold
