geranylgeranyl-diphosphate:isopentenyl-diphosphate transtransferase (adding 5 isopentenyl units)
Geranylgeranyl diphosphate is preferred over farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate [1]. The plant Arabidopsis thaliana has two different enzymes that catalyse this reaction. SPS1 contributes to the biosynthesis of the ubiquinone side-chain while SPS2 supplies the precursor of the plastoquinone side-chains [2].

FBN5-B, fibrillin 5B specifically interacts with solanesyl diphosphate synthase 1, which biosynthesize the solanesyl moiety of plastoquinone-9. Plants containing defective FBN5-B accumulate less plastoquinone-9 and its cyclized product, plastochromanol-8, but the levels of tocopherols are not affected. Homozygous mutations in FBN5 are seedling-lethal. FBN5-B is required for PQ-9 biosynthesis through its interaction with enzyme SPS. FBN5 binding to the hydrophobic solanesyl moiety, which is generated by SPS1, in FBN5 B/SPS homodimeric complexes stimulates the enzyme activity of SPS1; FBN5-B, fibrillin 5B specifically interacts with solanesyl diphosphate synthase 2, which biosynthesize the solanesyl moiety of plastoquinone-9.

RNAi-mediated depletion of TbSPPS leads to severe growth inhibition. Ablation of TbSPPS by RNAi will decrease the function of the glycerol-3-phosphate shuttle, which is cured by application of glycerol. The viability of the BSF cells is compromised upon RNAi induction, phenotype overview. Addition of ubiquinone to the medium alleviates the effect of RNAi-mediated depletion of TbSPPS
malfunction
-
in contrast to other plastochromanol-8 biosynthetic mutants, neither the single atsps knock-outs nor the atsps1 atsps2 double knock-out display any defects in tocopherols accumulation or germination; leaves of the atsps2 knock-out are devoid of plastochromanol-8 and display severe losses of both non-photoactive and photoactive plastoquinone-9, resulting in near complete photoinhibition at high light intensity. The photoinhbition is paralleled by significant damage to photosystem II but not to photosystem I. In contrast to other plastochromanol-8 biosynthetic mutants, neither the single atsps knock-outs nor the atsps1 atsps2 double knock-out display any defects in tocopherols accumulation or germination

expression in Escherichia coli, His6-tagged At-SPS2 fusion protein and the truncated from of At-SPS2 (At-SPS2DELTA, in which the 30 N-terminal residues of the putative signal-peptide are removed and, instead the His6 tag is attached to the N-terminus)
-
expression of TcSPPS is able to complement an Escherichia coli ispB mutant
gene AtSPS1, overexpressing of the plastoquinone-9 biosynthesis gene SPS1 in Arabidopsis thaliana generating plants that specifically accumulate plastoquinone-9 and its derivative plastochromanol-8
