A79Y | single replacement to the aromatic residue at the fourth or the fifth position before the first aspartate-rich motif (FARM), mainly yields a C20 product | Bacillus subtilis |
I76G | can catalyze condensations of isopentenyl diphosphate beyond the native chain length of C35. With farnesyl diphosphate as allylic substrate the mutant enzyme largely produces (all-trans)-octaprenyl diphosphate (C40, 21%) with a small amount of solanesyl diphosphate (C45, 5.3%). With geranylgeranyl diphosphate as allylic substrate the mutant enzyme yields solanesyl diphosphate (33%) as the main product with a large amount of (all-trans)-octaprenyl diphosphate (21%) | Bacillus subtilis |

(2E,6E)-farnesyl diphosphate + 4 isopentenyl diphosphate = 4 diphosphate + all-trans-heptaprenyl diphosphate | a common mechanism controls the product chain length of both short-chain and medium-chain prenyl diphosphate synthases. In wild-type heptaprenyl diphosphate synthase, the prenyl chain can grow on the surface of the small residues at positions 79 and 80, and the elongation is precisely blocked at the length of C35 by Ile76 | Bacillus subtilis |
